Help! avgidsha.sys blue screen crash, nothing fixes it!

[Jeremy1998]

So my pc was working fine when I went to bed, and when I woke up it was stuck in a boot loop, hanging on the driver avgidsha.sys every time. I went through AVG's tutorial on fixing it with their disc. I tried that like 4 times and it wouldn't work. Every time I changed the extensions, they just reverted back after the reboot. I also tried renaming all AVG files and that didn't work either.

I'm up and running on a separate drive with windows 10. I usually run a raid 1 with 2 drives in my system, but I disconnected them so I don't screw up the raid. I've tried mounting my boot ssd onto the windows 10 install with an external dock and enclosure, neither of those worked since the drive is technically "corrupt" and would have to be formatted.

Any help you guys can offer is GREATLY appreciated!!!

why would you use avg?

if possible I'd start of with image restore, get windows installation disc/usb and revert before issue, not sure if it will help as it does sound like a bootloader issue rather than os, but worth a shot.

I always thought AVG was one of the better free antiviruses, but they have definitely gone downhill lately... I was wondering if there is an OS I could run from a bootable OS (probably some form of linux) that would just allow me to nuke the avg files from the ssd completely?

Using a Linux boot won't allow you to nuke features related to Windows installs, however you could do it with a Hirens Boot CD using the mini XP feature. You'll need to get an older ISO i.e Hirens 13, the newer versions don't have many features.

you can do it via safe mode with comand prompt.
all you have to know is where avg is installed. You can then just do
dir /p /w
that will show you a list of all the files in the folder
then you can type
del filename.exe
once you have deleted all the exe's you can then go about deleting the rest of it from inside windows

i wpuld probably start off typing:

cd c:

dir /p /w

cd foldername
(the folder name would be the nam,e of the folder you want to enter that you discoverd using dir comman)

dir /p /w

cd avg
(or what ever folder you need to get in to before you can enther avg)

dir /p /w

del avg.exe

del someothername.exe
and you just do that untill all the exe's are gone.


you can also try
del *.*
but you would have to work backwards doing that.. as you have to delete the contents of the folders 1st.
i dont think deltree works any more. but if it does you can just do
deltree *.*

but you HAVE to be in the avg folder before you start using wild cards "*" or you will delete all sorts of stuff..

(P.s
in my example of what i would do above, every "paragraph separation" is when you would hit enter.)
