Firstly I said " I fail to see how you find the patch dubious " as there is clearly nothing dubious about it so you are very mistaken and confused.
Secondly you were not quoted out of text ???
Thirdly you need to take heed of some good advice in how to give feedback as you obviously haven’t a clue : I’m done with trying to deal with trolls such as yourself as you have clearly come here to troll and argue without actually supplying any negligible information other than meaningless comments and assumptions.
First law of forums: Don’t get sucked in by the troll.
Yeah, I knew there would be some issues with the brand-new release of Windows, but I did it, anyway. (I still have the bruises, too.)
I hadn’t said anything earlier, but build 1474 did not fix my crashes. I posted (via FTP) 2 mini dumps with that build installed. Unfortunately I’ve had to uninstall Avast! until we get a little further along. Well, it’s either that or go back to Windows 7 (I do have a dual-boot system), which seems even more counter-productive.
I’m going to be patient. I only wish I could go back out on the bleeding edge and suffer through this troubleshooting effort, but I’m trying to finish an important project. So … my choices are Windows 7 (which works fine), or no Avast!
It should solve your problem. When you get a chance, just update to the latest version of Avast!, slap on the patch, reboot, and turn on all shields. From there, just let us know if you have any more crashes. If so, dump it so Avast! can analyze it. If not, enjoy!
Hello, I installed the patch about 30 minutes ago. No more BSOD on windows 8
Thanks AVAST !
With the older driver, I easily got 3 BSODS during this time…
Puturaya20, the time you spent doing that image full of criticism and not helping to any solution, you could had used to apply the patch and finish the reason that makes you came here complain.
Hi Puturaya20,
in case you don’t feel like you would be able to update the driver yourself (which is perfectly ok, don’t be ashamed), just turn off Network Shield until this will be solved differently.
Thanks,
Lukas.
Edit: Bhakakhan, if your are still with us, please do the same, turn of Network Shield for a while. The crashes will stop. Thanks and sorry. It was really a fault in our driver, I fully understand your are not happy! It got several people here awake for several days until the solution was found, we’ve released an update, fixing some of the problems, the rest took as a few days more. Not happy here either, so sorry again.
Yes, installed KB2756872 on 27/10/2012, one day after upgrading from Windows 7 to windows 8 Pro.
The only problem is the Web Rep issue. It is not working on one computer with google chrome, works fine with IE10.
On another two computers, upgraded to Windows 8 Pro at the same time and KB2756872 was installed on these computers one day later, there are no issues at all with Avast Internet Security, even Web Rep is working on these two computers with Chrome and IE10.

Thanks for your efforts lukor - what you wrote is exactly what i wanted to hear - it is what is needed to keep the trust in your company - or regain it -if you whish-…
Posts from “überevangelist” or “ultraposter” is not what a totally frustrated user wants to read after days of knocked out system - it leads to disencouragement and trust-loss - it is all else, but not customer friendly
I work for a famous ISP (one and one) - i the case of such extreme bugs, we use a BugTracker in which we track all affected users with email-adress - we keep’em up to date - we try to give’em a feeling, that they are not alone - that we care about them - also: this List is useful to get an idea of how much users are affected, which is good information for our tech-teams - looking around here i don’t see, that you really try to terminate that bug in an offense way - to me it seems that you cook your soup in the backroom, letting power users eat people like me for breakfast.
My feeling is, that it is important to stay in close touch with customers - until your post i haven’t got even a trace of this feeling - which is a good reason to go to another security software - which is -honestly spoken- not really what i wanted to do…
Next:
May i say, that it is time to change the description of avast 7 ( hello puturaya20, i’m with you… ) - don’t you think it is time to go offensive and tell everybody, that there are still problems to be expected with Win8, Win7, Google Chrome etc…? Other companies do this, and its not for their disadvantage…
Just think about, what happens, if the press is publishing this bug here all around - or if frustrated customers are reporting this to microsoft. Such a thing is very destructive to the reputation of a company like yours - so why not telling the truth, before the press is doing it?

hello puturaya20, i’m with you…
