Of course most regular readers n posters here know I'm making reference to this topic:

In response, I just wanted to add
my .02 here...
Avast is a
very FINE product, IMHO. I have been using different versions of the free AV since August of last year, and so far I have had nothing but positive--
no make that pleasantly positive experiences all around. In the few and far between instances I had FP's or technical problems/questions/etc., Avast support quickly answered my inquiries and/or I easily found an answer by searching this excellent forum.
So, NO, IMO Avast are ***NOT*** Thieving B@$teR*$
Inglorious B@$teR*$ perhaps, but definitely not thieving!
To quote that great fictional American, Forrest Gump--
"And that's all I have to say about that"
