I did an internet search a month or so ago, and found an article dated mid 2021, which was a comparison of XP antivirus programs. I have tried to force close Avast via Windows Task Manager, but I get a message saying ‘Unable to Terminate Process. After a couple of restarts, the XP will usually boot successfully. After 30 minutes or so, I have to do a hard close of the XP (by holding down the power button). When I boot the XP, AvastUI.exe, (and sometimes also avBugReport.exe) takes 100% of my CPU. I use Avast Antivirus on my XP, and best I can tell, it still gets updated occasionally for virus protection. The XP is connected to my network, which is connected to the internet. I know that some people use DOSBox, but it seem like it is not that reliable either. I tried running in on the Windows 7 in emulation mode, but I didn’t like it. However, I still run a Windows XP computer so I can use an old DOS financial program. My primary desktop computer is Windows 7 SP1, and I have a Windows 10 laptop.
