Hello!
The installation of Avast software causes blue screen of death shortly after the system is booted. It started after upgrading Avast to the latest version. While the system is loading, HDD light flashes actively. Also was not able to run Google Chrome while the system was booting…
I’ve installed complete pack of Avast Software.
BTW, I’ve recently used Windows startup recovery tool. It worked for some time, after which I was informed about the tool’s inability to solve the problem.
But after that, I got all Avast Software products removed and Microsoft Security Essentials installed again.
BSODs I recall are: BAD_POOL_HEADER and BAD_POOL_CALLER. There were other(s).
My hardware is: ASUS X52F Laptop
OS: Windows 7, 32-bit
At first, Windows Updates were off. I thought that maybe new version of Avast requires certain Windows Updates. I deleted Avast with your removal utility, after which I updated my Windows, checked it with Microsoft Security Essentials (some viruses were found and removed) and tried again. But same thing occurred.
Software installed is shown on pictures below.

Without Avast Software, the laptop works fine as it always did.
