[vpn-help] BSOD windows 7 x64; 3x this week; apparently vfilter.sys

[novnov]

I've had three bsod this week. Someone who knows more about windows dmp files has said that vfilter.sys is the reason for the bsod; and apparently that's part of shrew vpn.

Monday, April 12, visual studio 2010 was released and I installed it. The crashes started after that but of course there is not certain connection at this time. I crashed Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday (today) one time each. The first two bsod visual studio 2010 was loaded; today it was not; only apps I'd stated were firefox 3.6.3 and zimbra desktop (an email client). Today I had just clicked on a tab in firefox when the bsod took place. That might have been true the other times but I'm not sure.

This pc was built by myself a month ago; and it's the first 64 bit os I've spent any real time with.

I can send someone the dmp file if that's useful. I think I will change any service related to shrew so that it does not start up with windows, and I hope that ends the bsod episodes for now.
