Is Phrase Express safe? Will Avast block it?
« on: July 29, 2024, 02:29:31 AM »
Hello,
I don't remember installing it, but it's possible I did when I suffered memory loss from a brain injury last winter. Anyway, Phrase Express is installed and it seems like it might be useful.

Does anyone know if it is safe?

How do I check with Avast to find out if they think it is safe?

If it is safe, but the software flags it and I can't use it, is there a way to get the software not to flag it?

Thank you!
