I've been an Avast user for the best part of a decade; no complaints, I love it.
Until recently, I found the WebRep tool to be a nice addition and a fairly accurate indicator of website safety. However, I now find that this tool is being used to pervert and gerrymander political opinion.
I live in Scotland, and currently we're trying to get our independence back after 300 years. We have a referendum coming up in 2014, but the state run media and other non-Scottish based political institutions are doing their damnedest to afflict the independence struggle by all means possible.
There are two main organisations leading the independence fight. One is the SNP, who are also the party in control of the Scottish Government. The other organisation is called YesScotland; a non-partisan group representing civic Scotland i.e. Trade Unions, Business groups, Church groups etc.
I invite you to visit both their websites and view the completely inaccurate and false WebRep report.
I think you'll agree that this was not the intended use of the Avast WebRep tool and I look forward to what Avast have to say on the matter.
