Avast Antivirus Was Spying On You with Adware
« on: October 23, 2014, 03:30:19 PM »
Hi all.
I want to point that i'm among those that use avast for a long time, since 4.7 version i think, there are some things i don't like about their decisions recently( like including additional software for download opted in by default ) but i could've live with it, but today i found an interesting
article, please read it and coment what do you think about it.

I really like this product, i am part of this forum for a couple of years, i tested beta versions, reported on bugs, i really think this is a great product, but if they'll continue with such surprises...well, let's just hope they will not.

OK... waiting for the "concise answer" then, thanks for pointing to that thread, strangely enough on a search if this thread exists it didn't found anything.
