Caught in a reboot loop. Bluescreening on awsRvrt.sys.

Current version is 8.0.1489.
I’m downloading the installer for avast free as I type.

Everything uninstalled without issue. My boss is requesting that we switch our antivirus to comodo.
Are there any further steps I should take prior to this?

Nope, that’s it… Avast has been cleared from the computer

Thank you sir. You’ve been quite the help and it means a lot, we can get back to work now ;D.
Have an excellent day!

My pleasure. Let your boss know that as soon as XP support ends he will be out on a limb as regards to security. There will be no further updates
