I just bought avast! Pro even thought I have a 3 year license for Bitdefender AV, ESET Smart Security and Kaspersky Internet Security for the following reasons:
Eset Smart Security: Been using it since like more than 5 years and it has been very good with no false positives, but I am sick and tired of Eset not releasing the final version of Eset Smart Security 7 FINAL even though they have released the final version of v7 to the German users last month! When I contacted them on their forums they said they want to release it in a staggered manner which to me is not working as my patience has run out
Bitdefender AV: Makes my internet slow and the product is buggy ever since the 2013 version and until now on their 2014 version
Kaspersky IS: Even more buggy product, makes the internet horrifically slow
I liked avast! when I tried the free version it was very light and it gets good rating on AV Comparatives, I didn't want to deal with any ad nags to upgrade to the Pro version so I went ahead and purhcased a 3 year license for avast! Pro AV
Now my questions:
1) I do format my laptop a lot, what I liked about Eset is that as long as you are installing the product on the same PC, there is no activation limit like Kaspersky imposes, 5 activations and the key is blacklisted. How is avast! in regards to activation? I did receive an activation key file, would it be blacklisted after I activate a few times?
The reason I do this is I am a perfectionist and when there are a lot of driver updates and software updates, I prefer to revert back to an image before installing any program/driver to ensure I have a smooth computer
2) I like Pale Moon more than Firefox, is there a way I can manually install the avast! Addon which usually gets installed on Firefox?
Like, with Internet Download Manager, it doesn't install the plugin automatically but I can navigate to the Internet Download Manager's installation directory and install the add-on manually. Where is the avast! addon located if it is even possible to install it manually on my Pale Moon which is 100$ compatible with Firefox addons?
