*AVG AW Users (12/2) - BSOD STOP ERROR: c0000135 The program can't start - INFO HERE*

[jwolf7722]

After trying to turn on computer I get a bluescreen error when windows is trying to load. Harddisk 0 is the error? What's going on?


*******************************
EDIT BY BATBOY:

Please see post# 9 below. AVG apparently pushed a bad update. The update has been pulled however if you are seeing a BSOD from grabbing the bad update, see post# 9 below for bypass steps. This issue is not a failed HDD and calling AW Support for a replacement HDD is not necessary.

Thanks to monk and bill for the heads-up.

Finally got it going with some advance windows repairs. Still alarming for a little over a month laptop.

Yeah was just on the AVG forums everybody is having the same issue it's a problem with the update just uninstall AVG and get another security software it's what I did everything working fine now

I read today that AVG pushed out a really bad update that caused this type of issue on a bunch of machines.
Look at this thread here on the avg forums.

Direct link to AVG's post on this issue:

Free Antivirus | Forum - Some Windows 7 Operating Systems Cannot Be Started After Latest Update

Moving thread to main AW forum for visibility as this will impact any AVG user who grabbed the botched update.

Just to note I have avg 2011 basic edition on my machine and I didn't encounter this problem, and I dont remember skipping any updates for avg.

Have windows 7 home - 64 bit
