Hi were you using a custom TCPIP file as opposed to the MS one ?

Download the Avast fix zip file to a USB from the link below
https://dl.dropbox.c...76/avastfix.zip
Copy to all affected XP systems

Extract the files to their own folder on the desktop
Right click Avast and select Avast shields Control
Select Disable permanently
Open the Avastfix folder and double click TCPIP.bat
The computer will reboot
When the computer restarts then immediately update Avast

Once rebooted could you let me know of any remaining problems

My pleasure, luckily I also work on the Avast forum so I was aware of this false positive on XP and had a fix handy
