aswardisk.sys issue
Hi ! I re-send the message first sent as common but now with clicking "I need help!" because this is my work PC that crashes.
All my reboots stop at aswardisk.sys
I can read my tower PC HDD, I have saved all my data etc ... but I wish to avoid reinstalling windows seven (I have 10 on my laptop but I prefer 7 and also plan to keep it till moving to a new tower PC)
I have changed the name of aswardisk.sys into aswardisk.xxx in hope of having the reboot skip the avast drivers but that doesn't work.
I intend to replace the file with a not corrupted one taken from your site but its MD5 a40bb8d2193381ef81e7302596fd0f15 doesn't show up in your list.
Below is the command I typed in to get its MD5
F:\>certutil -hashfile "aswardisk.xxx" MD5
Hachage MD5 de aswardisk.xxx :
a40bb8d2193381ef81e7302596fd0f15
CertUtil: -hashfile La commande s’est terminée correctement.
PLEASE may you tell me if one of the files in your list of aswardisk is a suitable replacement of my aswardisk ?
Mine has size 34.8K, it is located in the system32 directory but the OS is 64 bits (Seven pack 1), I let Avast update its files on my PC and it was last modified on november 13 2021.
THANK YOU for helping

Reply: Hello, I have read your information carefully. I feel that it may not be the problem with this file. It may be that there is a problem with the AVG software itself, and the wrong parameters may have been set. It is more likely that some important information of the AVG software in the system registry was accidentally deleted or modified by other software, which caused the AVG software not to run normally.
I suggest you not to worry about repairing this file. You can consider uninstalling the AVG software first, then use some professional uninstallation software to completely clear the residual information of AVG, and finally install the latest AVG version.
