Howdy bob3160,
Agree with you here fully and it is great how you educate users into how to better protect themselves, but you should also agree with me that with these stealthy schemes the unaware and uneducated user has to get into a lot of trouble to circumvent these trap-doors not to be fed with crap, junk and undesirable adware.
By coming here on a daily basis and with the Avast support forum education, we know what we are up against, but the average end-user/consumer just clicks and get infested or is abused so that a few rich may sit on some more piles of easy money. And we are living in days where you have to protect yourself, others are not doing this for you, at least no authority as I know of to halt the abuse or even condemn it. We are left out in the cold, we are completely on our own.
