I have been having sporadic freezes on my machine lately. There is no blue screen or crash screen. All the applications just stop responding and ~5~10 minutes later it will power off. After checking the event log a couple times, I have found that the same event occurs right before each crash.
File System Filter 'Avgmfx64' (6.1, 2011-12-23T08:08:12.000000000Z) has successfully loaded and registered with Filter Manager.
My question is twofold: I can not seem to find any information on what the Filter Manager actually is supposed to do. for curiosities sake, what is it? And more importantly, how do I fix this problem.
From the research I have done, I see that similar problems can be caused by out of date drivers, so I have already taken the time to update all of my drivers, run MemTest, and verify the drive integrity.
Answer
The Filter Manager was added to XP SP2 and up that acts as a sort of software shim and controller, but it is not your problem.
Your problem is with the anti-virus program AVG. Somehow it has gotten messed up. Your best bet is to uninstal it (including running the removal tool), and then reinstall it from scratch.
