Will Avast! cause BSOD on W8?

Hello.

A few weeks ago I installed Windows 8 and one of the first things i installed after that was of course Avast! free. But as it caused blue screens I had to uninstall it.
So I have to ask if this has been fixed before I download it again?

I am also wondering if I should disable Windows Defender when another antivirus is installed? I have been using only Windows Defender since I uninstalled Avast.

Thank you in advance!

Windows defender auto disables when it detects another antivirus

What version of Avast did you install ?

I don’t remember the version I’m afraid. I just know that I downloaded it probably around 1st to 5th of february.

Download from here for latest version
