It is advised to take all reviews with a grain of salt. In extreme cases some reviews use dramatization for entertainment purposes.

It should be:
Avast can't stop the gun.
Antivirus is like policy in the town. It is very useful but cannot stop all guns.
The test shows this only for Avast, but it would be stupid to assume that other AVs are better.
There are some other wrong assumptions, like:
It would be interesting to compare the results of all YouTube AV tests in the period of half a year.:emoji_ok_hand:

There are some other wrong assumptions, like:
- If criminals shot yesterday fewer people in town A than in town B a week ago, then the police in town A works better as compared to B.
- If yesterday the police in town A arrested a few people and they were all black, then most people in town are black.
- If yesterday the police arrested a few criminals then they represented for sure all gangs and criminal organizations in town.
- etc.

I'm no fan or customer of the company, but Avast got deals that made them a major player in the security business no matter what one might think or feel of the company itself and it's products.

The Story Behind Avast: One Of Europe's Biggest Tech IPOs Of 2018
Avast is a shining example of 30 years of building capitalism in a post-communist country, and its recent IPO was the largest to date among tech firms in Europe. Its initial $3.1 billion valuation catapulted its cofounder, Eduard Kučera, to billionaire status.

Avast remains one of the best free protections. Having a failure does not make it a weak one. She's been one of my favorite products.

He said he used Avast at default settings. I think hardened mode aggressive would have stopped it

Avast Hardened Mode Aggressive can be "bypassed" by running obfuscated scripts or macros which can load malicious DLLs into the memory of scripting engine or can inject the DLLs into another legal process. There were such samples in the wild.
Edit
I wrote "bypassed" in quotes because Avast Hardened Mode Aggressive is not intended to stop DLLs and scripts.

My heart is still with AVG because I used them way before their acquisition by Avast. I am sentimental. Though it doesn't have hardened mode it is a better looking, less intrusive GUI and and basically the same protection when paired with another soft.

Last time I tried AVG Free, it was there, but that was some time ago. It is mentioned here for example.

Dear sir/madam,We recently bought AVG Internet Security Unlimited (2017). There are several programs on my PC which I want to exclude from scanning...

As a side note, which beloved-by-many antivirus doesn't have it in their signatures either?: VirusTotal
Kaspersky. Does it mean anything? Not much really.
However, what this "virus" does reminds me of a couple of simple "fun/funny" apps back when Windows 7 just got out that kinda worked as a screensaver. I remember those because when I was a child I kinda found it amusing.

Signing up for Avast/AVG means you sign up to be spied on in a big way. Their primary business is metrics and big data.
Also their little hidden things remind me of spyware.

I agree with a few here though, AVG has a place in my heart for sure, over Avast..

And it seems to be enabled by default?
Is it still the case after user turns off the toggles under User privacy?
I still use Avast Premier, Avast Cleanup Premium, Avast Anti-Track Premium & Avast Secureline.
As additional protection, I use: Syshardener(Default Settings) & Voodoo-Shield.
And I feel very secure.
