Windows 10: Avast is telling me there's over 2,000 errors with my registry

Overall I've been pleased with Avast for anti-virus. But in their expansion of functionality, they now perform various checks and then warn you about findings... Of course, to fix them you need to pay for their special utilities. Junk files can be cleaned out pretty easily. Same for cookies. But what if the registry has damage or bogus entries that Microsoft's O/S is negligent to clean up? Is there a trustworthy utility out there that can do a good job of tidying up the Windows 10 registry? I'm not certain if I should trust Avast for this task, if it really needs to be done.

BSOD - Registry Error

Your BSOD code is 0X000000051

Here's the Google search I did for it: https://www.google.com/search?q=0x0...j5.399j0j7&sourceid=chrome&es_sm=122&ie=UTF-8

There is a hotfix available that might help, https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/810558

This thread makes a few good suggestions too: http://www.sevenforums.com/bsod-hel...dows-7-pro-sp1-registry-error-0x00000051.html

+1 to listing your full system specs, OS version, etc. I did only look at your BSOD log file.

Run a Diskchk /R (I know you already ran one, so you can skip this)

Run SFC /SCANNOW

Report back.

Suggestion to read these threads:

• Avast popup in new win 10 install
• Windows Defender Telling Me Computer Controlled By Another AV, After Uninstalling a Mistaken Avast Download
• Avast Free Antivirus

 

Uninstalled Avast to use Windows Defender, tells me to uninstall Avast...

So I had Avast on my computer as my anti-virus program, and was really annoyed at the pop-ups I'd constantly get, so I uninstalled it, and decided to use Windows Defender.

I tried to turn on real time protection, but it tells me uninstall Avast first....I not only uninstalled avast, but I deleted it's remnants from where it was kept in my hard drive.

Any suggestions on what I should do?

Thanks!
