I was busy this morning with an unauthorised charge to my credit card. While I was on the phone to the bank I saw an Avast pop-up saying it need to be updated so I just clicked "Update" without looking too hard. To my horror I saw all this nonsense about a trial and a pop up saying it had detected a network. I clicked OK to the network message but ever since I've been unable to connect to other devices (XBMC) on my network.
I uninstalled Avast completely and re-installed just the minimal install. I am unfortunately still having network problems. It's a shame that companies are resorting to trying to sneak their products onto your computer. Like I was said I was busy on my bank's fraud helpline.
I don't suppose anybody has an advice on how to undo the damage these unwanted products have done? What a day I'm having.
