NO Pondus, don't get me wrong, AV's help and are needed for windows, for mac's
So first you say they are not needed at all because they are all scam and now you say they are needed.
but the point im making is that avast and other AV take advantage of people, third party or not, they are making millions off of phone, web, remote support, when they know there is no real treat!!
No, they do not making millions of phone support. It is third party, not avast as I have told you and they do not pay avast. And no, (the honest) anti-malware developers like avast are not even trying to take advantage of users in any way. They just want to get paid for the work they do and there is nothing wrong with that. If you want me to paint your house you also are expected to pay me for it.
The treats are real. They are there. Only thing anti-malware developers are doing is offering you a way to secure your system in the best way they can. There is nothing wrong if they ask you to pay for all the hard work they are doing.
they know that there's not a virus etc, think about this, they told me they can fix it for me, for $175
As I told you before, this is
NOT avast that is asking you to pay it. And no, they 175 that third party is not for a one time fix, it is a year subscription.
Update: yes i have deleted avast, and im using bit defender, 150% better and everyone knows bit defender is better than avast, and guess what, i go to fling.com with no problems now!! but will bit defender ever pull this scam on me or you, only time will tell!! :-)
No, bitdefender is not better because it doesn't detect the malware on that site. What you are saying is that because Bitdefender lets you visit a malicious site it is better? That is like saying a car without breaks is better than a car with brakes because it will never let you slow down.
You also need to keep in mind that there is no anti-malware software that can detect all dangerous things.
Look at it this way:
Doctors only can find a cure for a infection if they know that there is a infection.
There is no way to develop a cure for every disease that may appear in the future.
