@Drelord: Sorry to hear your machine froze while booting. I've been looking around for a solution to the avgbidsh.sys boot problem, and a few others that have the same type of issue report that they used the "AVG Rescue CD" and renamed the AVG files which were preventing Windows booting.

Here's the download for the AVG Rescue CD:

Hope you or anyone else having problems with avgbidsh.sys found this useful. Please let know if this solved the problem.
