    There is no sign of the driver that I linked to having been installed.

    What we can see is Avast, can I ask why you have this installed when you have the better Windows Defender and Firewall available, Avast has become such a resource hog that no one recommends it any more only Avast.

    Windows 8, 8.1 and 10 come with an improved Windows Defender, it offers the same real-time anti-virus/anti-malware protection as Microsoft Security Essentials. Windows Defender also shares the same malware signature definitions as Microsoft Security Essentials, and Forefront Endpoint Protection. Technically, Microsoft Security Essentials has not been renamed Windows Defender, or combined with it in Windows 8, 8.1 and 10.

    Having more than one AV installed on your computer is bad, it will slow down the computer, cause internet connection problems and leave you with no AV protection at all if they cancel each other out as they fight for resources.

    If any AV product that you have is a paid for version you should always make sure that you have a copy of the product key kept somewhere safe just in case you ever wish to reinstall it.

    You can uninstall Avast in the Control Panel but should you have any problems see Avast clean removal info here [COLOR=rgb(226, 80, 65)]Please create a new system restore point first.[/COLOR]

          It was a good AV once upon a time but it comes with all sorts of unwanted extras such as security plug in that slow down a computer.

          If you go back to your reply #3 and check, Avast was not on your computer when you post the Speccy url last Thursday.

          No need to reinstall Windows, just install the chipset driver and nothing else.

          If using a computer and not a mobile phone, please avoid adding multiple posts while waiting for us to reply to your last, edit your last post to include anything that you wish to add, this will ensure nothing gets overlooked which can sometimes happen if a thread has more than one page, it avoids filling up folks inbox and last but not least it amounts to bumping your thread which puts folk to the bottom of any reply list.[/COLOR]
