Got 2 blue screens so far, by trying to write to read-only mem. I know that is from Sygate Personal Firewall but I´ve been using it for a while and only recently got this problem

Installed because of sygate personal firewall

In my case I was getting the bsod until I updated a D-link driver, and don't appear to have a problem with it now. It seemed to conflict with the old driver, which also caused bsod with a file called a5agu.sys.

It may be spyware or adware that`s named (camouflaged) like this, even if it`s originally from sygate. I never installed Sygate software in my computer, and I had never heard of it, yet I still had it in my system. (???)

It is indeed installed as part of Sygate Personal Firewall. There are two copies on my system: teefer.sys in C:\Program Files\Sygate\SPF; and Teefer.sys (notice the capital) in C:\Windows\System32. One of them gave me a BSoD for trying to write to protected memory.
