Avast / AVG — Avast self-protection driver
When blamed in a crash: Very likely the true cause
What to do
Avast/AVG's self-protection kernel driver.
- Update Avast/AVG to the newest version.
- If crashes persist, uninstall with the vendor's clear tool (avastclear/AVG Clear), reboot, reinstall — or stay on Defender.
Official download (the vendor's own site — never use third-party "driver download" sites):
