[QUOTE="South Park, post: 857170, member: 73194"] I used to visit the Avast Forum regularly and saw complaints about the Jumpshot crapware ("Grimefighter") and unethical 3rd-party product support for years. In the heyday of Windows XP, Avast 4.x was the best free AV and I used it with no problems, but I could never find a version that worked properly with Windows 7. There were also some major problems around 2010 with Avast FP's which crippled computers worldwide. As WD has improved over the years, I don't think there's much reason to use a free 3rd-party AV, but to each their own :) [/QUOTE]
