AVG blue screened on me (XP) yesterday, which was annoying. No cygwin.
Generally when a userspace program causes a kernel to panic (or BSOD) I tend to blame the operating system. :)
How do you know that AVG actually caused the problem and was simply not just one of the processes running at the time ? Or did you run the dump file through dumpchk and find something specifically pointing to AVG ?
The blue screen itself said "avg7core.sys" though the dump file afterwards pointed to winword.exe, which was in the middle of quitting and the kernel complained about memory corruption.
As a Windows driver writer myself, I know where the dump files end up if you click "Send to Microsoft", so hopefully Grisoft and Microsoft will take note!
