I have had problems with an XP Pro PC since installing Avast2014. I run 2014.9.0.2008 in a LAN.

I already have had to uninstall Avast2014 on a W7 Home Premium PC because I could not manage the built-in firewall and I could not find a way of disabling it. Worse than that it missed a trojan in an email. I sent a ticket and was told by Avast that nothing was perfect, or words to that effect.

Everything is running slowly now on my XP machine although it is basically a fast machine with a Q9650. Even short-cutting to ‘My Documents’ is slow. Access to other PCs on the LAN and to the printer is unbearably slow - sometimes the machine just freezes.

I am on the point of uninstalling Avast from this PC. Sadly, I bought 2 years worth of Avast for 3 machines!
