[repeated BSOD (BAD_POOL_CALLER) after install MB Anti-Ransomware beta 8 build 9.17.661]

You have requested: "C:\WINDOWS\Minidump\120316-57250-01.dmp"

The requested memory dump file is 300+ megabytes and the forum web site will not allow me to attach it--I tried just now.

I'll send it another way if you tell me what works.

I usually use WeTransfer.com for large files. All I need is a destination email address--but I've never sent a 300 megabyte file.

[repeated BSOD (BAD_POOL_CALLER) after install MB Anti-Ransomware beta 8 build 9.17.661]

I installed MB Anti-Ransomware beta 8 build 9.17.661 on Win 10 home 64-bit on an HP 2000 laptop with 8gb of RAM memory.

BSOD short time later. The system was sitting idle while installed the beta on other systems.

Manual power off (via power button for 5 seconds).

Power on and again BSOD.

BSOD happens quickly on reboot. Windows GUI never appears. Repeated several times.

 

Eventually Win 10 offered to do a SYSTEM RESTORE to an earlier time--I took it as Windows was not ever going to get off the ground.

The SYSTEM RESTORE took a long time--it removed anti-ransomware and the system now works fine.

 

Overnight I ran Win Mem Diag for two passes using rigorous testing--all OK.

 

General notes:

AVG Free is the anti-virus program on this HP2000 system. AVG program version 16.131.7924 .

The anti-ransomware beta seems to be doing OK on three other systems.

 

Ran NirSoft bluescreenview v1.55 to look at the only memory dump still on the system. At 300+ megabytes this file is too big to attach (as per words on your "drag files bar").
