Daemon Tools/Alcohol %
Code:
DAEMON Tools Lite "c:\program files (x86)\daemon tools lite\dtlite.exe"
Daemon Tools (and Alcohol % software) are known to cause BSOD's on some Win7 systems (mostly due to the sptd.sys driver, although we have seen dtsoftbus01.sys blamed on several occasions). Please uninstall the program, then use the following free tool to ensure that the troublesome sptd.sys driver is removed from your system (pick the 32 or 64 bit system depending on your system's configuration): DuplexSecure - FAQ
As an alternative many people recommend the use of Total Mounter or Magic ISO
Security App
Code:
Start Menu\Programs\avast! Free Antivirus
Avast! can be a possible cause of BSOD's. Remove Avast! and replace with Microsoft Security Essentials to see if it provides more stability. Uninstallers (removal tools) for common antivirus software
Microsoft Security Essentials and Malwarebytes are recommended from a strict BSOD perspective. They do not cause blue screens on the system as other AV products do.
