Good afternoon everyone,
I've been using Avast! free since August 2011 with no issues to speak of. Yesterday evening I went to run a full scan, and within a few seconds I got the BSOD with the following message at the top of the screen: "Driver_IROL_Not_Less_Or_Equal." (The IROL could be IROC. I wrote it down rather fast).
At the time I ran the scan, I had been offline for about an hour; No browsers were open.
The system did a minidump. I rebooted and performed the following actions:
- Ran CHKDSK /R command. NO hard drive errors or bad sectors found.
- Ran Avast! FULL scan. NO issues found & NO BSOD again either.
- Ran MBAM FULL scan. NO issues found.
- Ran FULL scan with SAS. NO issues found.
Updates for all programs including Avast Free are current.
I’m thinking this is probably just a fluke since I’ve not experienced any similar issues in the time I’ve been using Avast! Free, and the subsequent FULL scan I ran executed without incident.
My question: Any thoughts as to what might cause this type of BSOD to occur?
P.S. - I’m not familiar with how to examine a minidump file. System specs & installed security software are shown in my signature line.
Thank you for your time and any comments!
Regards,
