No, but it shouldn't be an issue. Almost all of the installers will disable your Windows Firewall automatically. You shouldn't run two firewalls, just like you shouldn't run two of the same type of anti-virus. They cause all kinds of annoying conflicts. I strongly recommend Comodo's free firewall - it is much better than Windows Firewall (and ZoneAlarm). I have the feeling the OP has not been updated recently because Microsoft Security Essentials is not on that list, and by almost all standard tests it is better than Avast. | ||

Is it completely safe and OK to plug in a (most likely) infected usb stick, cancel any autorun hokey pokey that might appear and format it? Data loss is not an issue. + Show Spoiler [Info about the stick.] + | ||

where can i find that? the screen pops up, and is gone within seconds. Also, booting in safe mode with networking (still same problems) I ran malwarbytes and it is 90 days overdue for an update, is there a latter version listed some where? (or can i update it and just copy it on my flash drive and then run it?) | ||

I still don't see a "error" code. The website I linked goto it and look at those 2 pictures, it will show you the actual BSOD and then the Bluescreenview, you will see that Bug Check Code is what your looking for. Same with the Bug Check String | ||
