Slow system - AIS "Program version 2014.9.0.2208" - Really?

[Vladimyr]

Here's the latest setback in my quest to keep using AIS licenses.

When I posted All the problems I had with AIS 2015.10.0.2208 are now gone!, I was happy to have resolved these issues by reverting to 2014.9.0.2010. Sadly, it didn't last.

A couple of days ago the PC (see signature) became really unresponsive. "Task Manager" showed little CPU activity, "Hmmm, just like when 2015.10.0.2208 was installed" - I thought.
Got a real surprise when I checked Avast.
1. SafeZone had again disappeared 
2. "About avast!" showed I had a non-existent version 2014.9.0.2208 
3. Reboot required  - despite having set Program updates to Manual

I've already got a couple of spare licenses because a client has changed from AIS to Qihu 360TS on his similar Athlon XP CPU machines with apparent success. Looks like I'll be heading down the same path

Have a little patience.
There will be a new release of avast this week or next month.
Not sure when because avast said this week and 1 person from avast said next month.
It could very well be the "slowdown" issues are solved in that version.

Patience expired weeks ago. Been running on loyalty alone ever since.

Patience never expires.
If you think it does, you don't have enough of it

Brief follow-up.
After uninstalling 2014.9.0.2208 & reinstalling AIS 2015.10.0.2208 (without firewall because I had trouble with it the first time) the system seems to be going quite nicely.
However, I'm thinking of asking 'support' to change my 3-user 1-year license to a 1-user 3-year if SafeZone isn't compatible with my hardware and I can't use the firewall.
