Yes, you can try to install a previous version.
But you must uninstall it and install the old version.

If you've some problem with uninstall the current version you can try to use the avast uninstall utility

hey. did you try a clean installation of avast? sometimes that would help.

what os do your friend use?

any other programs running like a third party firewall that could slow down the web speed?

have you tryed to deactivate the web shield and see if the web speed is improved by that?

is he using the latest version of firefox?.
Windows 8.1 amd a10-5700 64 bit
12 GB ram 1 tb hard drive. Avast 18, MBAM

Yes you can try, but you've some problem with that this PC.

Is best to uninstall correctly and run avast uninstall utility, and than install.

Then you can install the previous version... or try to reinstall the 6.0.1289
