[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 823865, post: 860617"] Avast is crap, when I worked as repair guy in the past, every single computers coming to me were infected while Avast free was on them. However, those with Avira or else, were generally clean except for some browser toolbars. I banned Avast of my systems since ages. Just tried them occasionally on a VM to see if things get better...but no, it get worst. And now that they are so greedy and resell your datas which is the opposite of what the idea of a security program should do. They supposed to protect the user datas, not collect and resell them. While we have to believe its CEO claiming he dismantled the data collecting entity... Yes sure, he also said he will never collect datas... Lol. Avast should be labeled as PUP, It is the shame of security. But it is free so people don't care anyway and will keep use it. [/QUOTE]
