i’ve fixed my Apache problem by the user sugarfunk post below:
I found reference to 8081 in AVAST. Removed it, and now SB starts just fine and no issues.

  1. Go to “Settings”
  2. Go to “Troubleshooting”
  3. Expand “Redirect Settings”
  4. Under “WEB” look for 8081
  5. Remove “8081”
  6. Hit OK and wait about 2-3 minutes

it’s good now, but having internet explorer problem remaining. luckily i’m not using ie now, hope avast fix these new 2014 version issues asap
