On my SONY Z11 laptop (2010) with OS windows 7 professional 64 bits, I have installed avast free version for 3 years. The software is registered. Now I have only the version 6.0.1466.
Tomorrow , I have discovered that the avast icon was not good : red cross over it.
So I try to install the last virus definition => OK but red cross again.
After, I try to update the programme : avast_setup.exe take minutes with 100% CPU usage so I have to reboot without let him finished !
But, I have noticed that on my windows XP desktop, I have got the version 8 and no problem !
So the issue is the no installation of avast program update !
For information, for 6 months or more, I think that trustedinstaller.exe is blocking some software installation like games or windows update. Some windows update are ok, but some no… like windows 7 SP2 for example !
Tomorrow, after rebooting during attempt of installing avast update, the computer was sticked into a reboot loop with blue screen (error : 0x0000007e).
So, during a reboot, I press F8, try to run in safe mode : on screen, lines of drivers are appeared, reboot just after the line ASWRVRT.SYS
After Reboot, F8, I try repair but nothing better, reboot again…
After Reboot, F8 : If I try to entering in command prompt, but the computer are rebooting always without give me access to the command prompt.
Solution to reboot in normal mode : I have to reboot on my CD Recovery Disk windows 7 of my laptop.
F8 , entering in command prompt mode.
So I have to rename all files listed here :
aswRvrt.sys
aswRdr.sys
aswFsBlk.sys
aswMonFlt.sys
aswSnx.sys
aswSP.sys
aswTdi.sys
aswVmm.sys
into
aswRvrt.old
aswRdr.old
aswFsBlk.old
aswMonFlt.old
aswSnx.old
aswSP.old
aswTdi.old
aswVmm.old
And miracle ! I can reboot in normal mode !!!
But, AVAST is OFF !
What can I do to let avast install ?
Why trustedinstaller was wrong?
Do you know what to do ?
Some people tell me to upgrade windows 7 with a DVD SP2 install ?
