Hi,
I am glad for avast free to be free, of course, but thats not a reason to not to complain about this:
with every version update, certain options get turned ON although they were turned OFF. interestingly, these options have to do with me sending data to avast. more interestingly, these options tend to get moved within the avast interface so they are hard to find and at first appear to be removed. examples?
participate in avast community
participate in data sharing
but of course it is just an accident, isnt it?
but seriously, for an antivirus to behave like a virus is a disgrace :-(
