If you don't like the program, no one is keeping you chained to it.
As already explained it isn't Spam since it's a problem with the update notification which will be fixed.
You can explain as much as you like, and you
may in fact be correct, it
may be a
problem with the update notification which will be fixed
, it doesn't alter the
fact that the result is
SPAM.
The reason is irrelevant to what it is.
The reason may, in your view, excuse it. It doesn't in my view.
I am indeed not chained to Avast. I have been using it for many years and have always considered it the best available free anti virus programme available. The gap between the top programmes has reduced quite substantially and, taken together with this spamming and Avast's total disregard for customer service I am changing. I am also changing from Avast on all the computers I am responsible for and will not recommend Avast to anyone in the future.
