A different cause of BSoD this time?

In answer to recent my https://www.sevenforums.com/crashes-d...-internet.html post KenJ+ kindly told me that the dmp file indicated that a BSoD appeared as though it could have been caused by an HdAudio.sys issue. As Device manager indicated that my High Definition Audio Device (HDAD) had up-to-date drivers and I also had up-to-date drivers for my installed SB X-Fi Xtreme Audio PCI card I hoped to address the issue by disabling the HDAD.
That may have worked but I have just had a BSoD caused by netio.sys, although I'm not quite sure what that is - perhaps the attached dmp file will allow some kind person to give me a clue as to what netio.sys is/does and if there is a potential cure for this particular BSoD - no doubt there will be future BSoD for other reasons, although with XP I never experienced that phenomenon!
From other posts I gather that some posters believe that ZoneAlarm might be the cause of the netio.sys problems but taht is not universal and in any case I am reluctant to dump it as I recently subscribed to it for another year, not having had problems with it under XP; the version I run is ZoneAlarm Extreme Security v. 9.0.114.000 with ZA Forcefield v. 1.5.36.15. (NB in case it is relevant I also run Spyware Doctor v. 7.0.0.508.)

Hi and welcome

wel here is some validation for the zone alarmists. while no smoking gun for sure the fact that it is in the stack and sybols couldnt be loaded is starting to look like it is correct.

BTW thanks for the mention.

KERNEL_MODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED_M (1000008e)
This is a very common bugcheck.  Usually the exception address pinpoints
the driver/function that caused the problem.  Always note this address
as well as the link date of the driver/image that contains this address.
Some common problems are exception code 0x80000003.  This means a hard
coded breakpoint or assertion was hit, but this system was booted
/NODEBUG.  This is not supposed to happen as developers should never have
hardcoded breakpoints in retail code, but ...
If this happens, make sure a debugger gets connected, and the
system is booted /DEBUG.  This will let us see why this breakpoint is
happening.
Arguments:
Arg1: c0000005, The exception code that was not handled
Arg2: 8a17701d, The address that the exception occurred at
Arg3: 9384b614, Trap Frame
Arg4: 00000000

On checking the ZA site after the reply I saw that there is a version of ZA Extreme Security to download and install if you have installed a release version of W7 rather than the beta version of W7; there is afree upgrade for subscribers or a free 15-day trial for others. I have now upgraded to the latest ZAES (v. 9.1.008.000) and hope that might resolve issues.
Thanks for the help and advise.
