BSOD on Windows 7

[dylanm 2]

I just had a 32-bit Windows 7 computer BSOD on me.  Checking the dump gave me epfwwfp.sys as the culprit and IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL as the issue.

Can anyone tell me whether this is the same issue as outlined in https://support.eset.com/kb2567/ which can be fixed by applying this https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2664888/ hotfix?

Here's the seemingly relevant bugcheck info:

IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (a)
An attempt was made to access a pageable (or completely invalid) address at an
interrupt request level (IRQL) that is too high.  This is usually
caused by drivers using improper addresses.
If a kernel debugger is available get the stack backtrace.
Arguments:
Arg1: 0072006f, memory referenced
Arg2: 00000002, IRQL
Arg3: 00000001, bitfield :
	bit 0 : value 0 = read operation, 1 = write operation
	bit 3 : value 0 = not an execute operation, 1 = execute operation (only on chips which support this level of status)
Arg4: 83a18fa9, address which referenced memory

Probably that's it. Make sure the appropriate Windows update is installed.
