You may be right - I too did some searching and found more and more ppl updating their NIC drivers and the issue going away. In my last post I stated I too updated my NIC drivers before adding the exception to AVG and not sure if the drivers or the exception was the fix; well I figured it out.
For me it was BOTH.
I rolled my driver back and left the exception in AVG - BSOD!
I then reinstalled the new driver and removed the exception - BSOD!
When I did both I am running fine and currently running a scheduled backup to my NAS as I type. Possibly each virus program treats the TDI different? don't know but I do know this is a Windows 7 BUG I am sure will be fixed in RC1.
Good luck everyone!

Since my message last night, I uninstalled the second or third antivirus I tried (including those recommended by MS), I was having the same blue screen again. Today I come to the PC without any antivirus at all. - Same thing, the blue screen caused by TDX.SYS still there, every 10 mins so, erratically by doing almost anything I was still having the same blue screen. This time seemed to be while I was reading my e-mail and clicked on a link, Internet Explorer 8.0 Beta pop-up, there I am reading something.....out of the blue....puafh! there you go blue screen again, bye bye, time to reboot.
So obviously at least in my case the cause of that BSOD is not any antivirus, but something else. Then I remembered someone said that he started to suspect of Internet Explorer 8.0 Beta and instead installed Firefox and since then he didn't have any more issue with the TDX.SYS blue screen. - This time I went to the default applications of Windows 7 and set it so it will not use Internet Explorer, then installed Firefox 3.05.....and here I am with it so far so good nothing has crashed nor gone blue screen bye bye (yet...hehe).
What in the world is a "TDI Translation driver" ? Whatever that is, that's what that TDX.SYS is and for someone that's a programmer (I'm not) shouldn't be too hard to determine what's going on with that file.
Yeah you're right, good luck everyone, because we are gonna need it ! - I feel almost about to give up and go back to my beloved Windows XP or even Windows Vista (which I don't like too much really), but rather I'll stay tuned to see if someone finds the solution to the darned TDX.SYS issue.
Another issue I had for a day or two was that all out of the blue one morning I turned the PC on, and my Desktop was all gone. Instead I had to every time manually type "explorer.exe" on Task Manager to get the Desktop back, then I decided to restore back to the moment I installed first time (was 3-4 days ago, no biggie) and there it was the Desktop back again. I have no idea what caused the Desktop to not load everytime Windows 7 booted, but I've had this problem before even on Windows Vista.
Regards, lets hope they fix the TDX.SYS dilemma on next version of Windows 7, for the time being using Firefox I've haven't had any crash as yet, but definetely seems like the problem is not related to antivirus applications, because as I said above I have none installed now and was still getting the same BSOD crash.

tdx.sys BSOD
Would love to hear something from Kaspersky/Nortons or indeed MS. I wouldn't like to think that these vendors getting themselves on the Windows 7 list of recommended security products was just a marketing exercise. Kaspersky for example - put out their Windows 7 technology preview - which when installed seems to contribute to BSOD just as their "legacy" software does.
