Windows Vista 32 bit aswVmm.sys Issues

Viruses and worms

Hello,

I started my Sony Vaio laptop this morning running Windows Vista 32 bit, and I received an error code stating the following file was damaged, missing or corrupt:

\windows\system32\Drivers\aswVmm.sys

I looked online and it stated that this was an avast! file. I know that others have had this issue resolved, but those posts were year old or more. I tried to download the programs listed in those threads, but the links are dead for some of them. I was hoping that someone can help me out with this problem. I need this computer desperately since it contains work documents, not to mention irreplaceable photos etc. that I want to recover. Any assistance would be great. Thanks!
