Bluescreen during complete scan

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security
1

Hello everyone,

i have a problem with the “complete scan” function.
Everytime I try to run this scan my PC bluescreens around 20% into the scan.

The bluescreen message is:

page_fault_in_nonpaged_area

in aswSP.sys

The complete scan fuction is the only time i have ever encountered a bluescreen on my win10 this far.
I have tried three times now and ran into this error every time.

What can i do?

Thank you for your help and time,

Zarrock

Avast Free

Win 10 Pro 64

No other security software

Avast free was the first and only installed security software after a clean reinstallation of win10

Thank you for your help

  1. Download Avast Free Antivirus: https://files.avast.com/iavs9x/avast_free_antivirus_setup_offline.exe
  2. Follow instructions: https://www.avast.com/uninstall-utility (Run this tool for all prior installed Avast versions…!!)
  3. Reinstall Avast with the downloaded installer from point 1.
  4. Reboot.

Ok thank you.
