I think you should install new window because you are running Xp & it does not support latest versions.
Hi I have been using avast free and when I update to the latest program update it crashed my laptop and goes into a boot cycle after it rebooted. I have had to start it in safemode and remove the program and reinstall the older version. I have had to do this twice. i am running windows xp home
