I'm Scared!HELP! I just read above that GrimeFighter is Not part of Avast?It is on my Avast scan page and absolutely looks like it is a utility of Avast.
It reports it will get rid of Unnecessary Apps (but it will not state what they are?), speed up my PC by disabling OS features (amazing because I look into things like this and again I cannot find out what is to be disabled)?
Also on this page I have a choice to "Analyze again" check my "Settings" and view "Your License"....it absolutely looks like it is part of Avast.
I NEVER downloaded this program, (and I un-check other side junk that try to automatically install for me..NO).
DOUBLE SCARY: I do not jump to install Adobe and Java updates until the antivirus program I trust states that it is a valid update.
>Which brings up the question:
Does Avast actually look into Adobe and Java updates or does it just accept them without verification??It was very out of character for me but I accepted a Java update that was ready to install which turned out to be VERY BAD. Thankfully I knew what to do but most ppl would not have.
The Avast program is updated all the time, I don't understand why it has not corrected this invasive program?
You need to tell people about this situation, at the very least, disable it in an update.
Should I uninstall Avast and worry that this unauthorized program is still on my computer or?
I don't know what to do.
Please tell me how to handle this situation.[/size]
