Could Prevx be Causing BSODs?

This may be long.

Since very late March I have had 3 BSODs. The first time I thought nothing of it, since I had had 2 or 3 before, all so sporadic I ignored it. Then early April I had another. I tested my hard drive and it was fine, and I tested my RAM, and found one or two bad sticks. I removed them and things seemed fine. Then a couple days ago I got another one. This time I used a program called BlueScreenView and it highlighted Ntoskrnl.exe in red, so that is probably the offending file. I unfortunately have been deleting all my minidumps with CCleaner, but I have disabled that now.

The reason I ask if Prevx could be causing them is because I have installed that, ZoneAlarm, Firefox 4, and the Iron browser since right before April, and the last 3 BSODs were all when browsing online. So is it Prevx, or Firefox, or could it still be hardware?

 

It's hard to say without seeing further details - if you do have another one, feel free to send the minidump to report@prevxresearch.com and I'll take a look

 

Will do. Also, has there been any reports of conflicts with Avast! 6? Should I add any exclusions for Avast!?

 

Ive had recent blue screens at home too. Was wondering if it was Prevx or the new version of Firefox.

 

i tested the new Firefox for 2 weeks without a problems.

whenever (rarely) i get blue screens the culprit is always security softwares...

 

With SD being one of those culprits every once in a while. Still like it better than RL.

 

...but not necessarily, we'll see what Joe says about the minidumps.

I think it may have been Firefox 4, since all 3 times I was on FF, and the 3rd time I had already removed my bad RAM. One of my friends had lots of crashes because of plugins for FF not being ready for FF 4 yet.

As a side note, I was removing non plug-and-play drivers from previous security programs, and one of those drivers not being used right now is called "oowqmo". I can't find ANYTHING about it on Google.

 

I did add exclusions to Avast because both Avast and Prevx have the behavior shields and I wanted to avoid potential conflicts. I added the exclusions to both software.

I have had an occasional crash with FF 4.0+, and I think it is due to FF as well. No other changes to my machine and have trouble-shooted everything.
