Hello Rombout. I apologize for the inconvenience caused. If you were able to login to Windows please try to uninstall AVG Internet Security. If you are unable to loginto your Windows, please boot your PC through "Safe Mode" as mentioned in this link: http://bit.ly/1JwmD6g and follow the below mentioned instructions once you are in the Safe Mode:

1) First step is to use AVG Remover tool and uninstall your AVG program completely. To download AVG Remover Tool please click on the following link: http://download.avg.com/filedir/util/support/avg_remover_stf_x64_2015_5501.exe.
2) Run the downloaded tool and follow the instructions displayed on your screen.

I have followed the steps, for now it is waiting ot see wether the issue persists or not.

I've been trying to contact support but unfortunately AVG' support website is incredibly broken as in, no way to get support at all. Their contact form can't be opened on any browser.

Anyway, I am experiencing blue screens. A lot of them since 2 days. After figuring out the issue I found the root of the issue. AVG Firewall Driver. 

This is the full report:

On Fri 19-6-2015 22:46:13 GMT your computer crashed
crash dump file: C:\WINDOWS\memory.dmp
This was probably caused by the following module: avgwfpa.sys (avgwfpa+0x8B3C) 
Bugcheck code: 0x3B (0xC0000005, 0xFFFFF8007EA4C7EC, 0xFFFFD00039E93C00, 0x0)
Error: SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION
file path: C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\avgwfpa.sys
product: AVG Internet Security
company: AVG Technologies CZ, s.r.o.
description: AVG Firewall driver
Bug check description: This indicates that an exception happened while executing a routine that transitions from non-privileged code to privileged code. 
This appears to be a typical software driver bug and is not likely to be caused by a hardware problem. 
A third party driver was identified as the probable root cause of this system error. It is suggested you look for an update for the following driver: avgwfpa.sys (AVG Firewall driver, AVG Technologies CZ, s.r.o.). 
Google query: AVG Technologies CZ, s.r.o. SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION

As you can see, the cause is very clear and simple and all that is needed is some attention from AVG developers to fix this issue. It's driving me nuts and for now I am forced to uninstall AVG completely to prevent my PC from crashing every 30 minutes.

As this forum had not section "troubleshooting" I found this the proper category.
