Sometimes, bringing back old news make me think in new blog posts  :)
I will be very very happy if I can count with some other Evangelists' knowledge that could help me (and the Community) writting posts at 4 hands (oh, well, at least two  :o).

Who will be brave enough to start working with me?

People that could help me (in fact, Avast) to write interesting blog posts.
If you (or anybody else) want to talk about this, please, email me and I explain in details.

Latest versions of Avast compatible with Windows 10

https://blog.avast.com/2015/06/03/latest-versions-of-avast-compatible-with-windows-10/

The author, Gracie Roberts, wrote a comforting article about how easily avast will integrate into Win10 during the upgrade to Windows 10.

If you don't believe it ask Bob, me, or several others who tried and used Win10.
I, for one, knows avast works with Win10. At least it did in the virtual machines I set up.

I, for one, knows avast works with Win10. At least it did in the virtual machines I set up.
I just sent an email to Gracie to find out if there was a recent update to the firewall module of Avast.
I couldn't get it to work with the latest release of Windows 10 b 10130


No problem with the free version. It's worked like a charm for quite a while already.
Update:
A clean install of Avast IS fixed the problem. :)

The fact they were caught doing something they shouldn't is telling in more ways than one.  Either you are a white hat or you aren't.  Bringing the consequences home of your actions is one way to cause a change, but whether they are socially smart enough is another question altogether.
