[QUOTE="Deleted Member 308817310, post: 823173, member: 80647"] Blocking AvastUI from accessing the internet is a bad idea because it can disrupt protection if Avast change anything in the future which involves AvastUI more. There's a large possibility that this will cause an issue at some point down the road and the last thing you want is for Avast to stop working when you actually need it the most, potentially without knowing. Overseer is used by Avast to check for issues with the Avast installation and report back any issues they find, roughly along those lines. It isn't spyware and it doesn't take photos of you using your webcam. It's not a rootkit with a hidden process either. There's propaganda nonsense by people who do not actually have any experience with any of these topics who have spread misinformation about Avast and Overseer over the last year. One of the issues was it being left behind by the uninstaller but I presume they have since fixed this issue as it was reported to them and they said they would solve it. Can you confirm if this has been solved? [/QUOTE]
