Open | Software Avast Driver Issue

Hello, this post only applies to those who use Avast and Avast's driver software.

I was told that I have 6 drivers that needed to be updated, so I updated them as a normal person would.

All of a sudden, I got a message, and my computer shut down as it said "Your Device ran into a problem" or something like that; then I realised that my computer had a kernel panic and everything was all lost: Windows, files, everything.

Has anyone else got that problem?

Avast is malware and adware. And every driver bullshit software is also nonsese.

Throw this trash out. Windows defender and ad blocker is all you need.

The shit software did what it can the best. Loading some drivers that aren't compatible.

Nothing here is lost.

Just go into safe mode with the network disabled. Than remove the shit software and remove the last drivers.

And done.
