I've been using Avast! for a very long time. I started on the free edition and switched to the paid Internet Security probably about two years ago, and used that all on my computer exclusively, as well as recommending your product to friends, family, and customers at the computer repair shop. Why? Because it had great protection and wasn't annoying like Norton and AVG.
Fast forward, and the new versions have become increasingly obnoxious, slower, bloated, and users see more ads and pop ups on their screen from Avast! than the malware it's supposedly protecting against.
I get that most of the annoyances can be disabled. But every time Avast! updates the interface moves the settings around and makes them harder to find, and add more garbage.
SafePrice? What were you thinking? There are already a bunch of price comparison sites, and if I'm shopping on Amazon it's probably because I want to be shopping there, and they usually have the best price anyway. If some random other website has the same item for a few cents cheaper, I don't care, because it's another site I need to sign up for, put my payment information, (increasing the risk that my credit card is hacked), and then I probably won't get free two day shipping like I do with Amazon Prime.
Most of the big names in anti-virus have cought up in terms of protection rates to Avast! both their free and paid products. Norton (free with Comcast Xfinity internet) used to suck but it's so, so much faster than Avast! and doesn't get in my way. Is it set up with a few annoying things by default? Yeah, but it's much easier to disable these extra gimmicks that do no nothing but aggravate and confuse users, and they aren't constantly adding obnoxious junk like Avast! SafePrice. For a free software if you don't have Comcast, Panda Cloud Anti-Virus has the best detection and the simplest interface. Their newest version has an occasional pop up promoting their paid Pro versions, but that is understandable and if you click it away once it stays away forever. Just remember to not install their toolbar when you first install it
So, it's been a great several years but I have unisntalled Avast! from all of my computers, cancelled all my subscriptions, and I will not recommend your software anymore.
The more useless junk you add to your software, the more users you will lose.
