Hi Terry.

If the AV is coming from the client tools, you might do well to re-install
them (& SPs), or perhaps attempt from another PC. If these fail, another
option is to try to restore from t-sql commands.

If the AV is coming from the server, there may be two further options - (1)
the backup could be corrupt or (2) you've encountered a bug in SQL Server
itself. If the backup is corrupt (not uncommon) you might attempt to dbcc
checkdb the database, fix whatever problems exist then re-initiate the
backup process. If you've encountered (2), then you very likely have a case
for PSS.

Given the above, I'd be first attempting a t-sql restore command to identify
if it's a server bug, because if it is, the best option is probably a PSS
call.
