Hi bob3160,
People feel aversion towards all sort of things to-daythat they cannot distinct between or they cannot distinguish for what it is.. If you cannot see a general security alert from a random ad pop up message you could only complain about your interpretation level. Other users complain about all sort of issues, also often as a form of misinterpretation. Few of these complaints are wrought by what I fear is an concerted anti-avast action. You only need a small amount of these insinuators/trolls for others to jump the band wagon. I assume tat is the situation we have at the forums lately with all these negativity spread about the avast! product (bundled installs, bloatware, adware, more false positives than with older versions, genuine detection that irritate some users that want to circumvent detection or question valid detection, because it does not suit their philosophy/stupidity, etc. etc.).
