Hmm, no tech support ?
They forget this webboard and the ticket system.

When going through the WOT reports we find it labeled as: "unethical, scam and potentially illegal".
See: https://www.mywot.com/en/scorecard/www.windowsdeal.com?utm_source=addon&utm_content=contextmenu
(reports).
Some there say "good site with many giveaways"?

Cybersecurity is more of an attitude than anything else. Avast Evangelists.

Use NoScript, a limited user account and a virtual machine and be safe(r)!

No details whatsoever... It also shows, Trustworthiness = Excellent and Child Safety = Excellent. So believe every opinion you read on the internet because all opinions are true.

Nothing better than people casting a shadow over something without any facts.

If anyone finds any REAL evidence of malice then post it.

I have strong doubts about the legitimacy of it.
Note that avast isn't offering such a long trial period, so where did the get they "trial license" for 180 days from ?

Again, no evidence.


You and the others have no more worries. The deal has expired.

Sharewareonsale had a similiar offer, I tried to take advantage of it but it reset me back to the free version as the offer was apparently only for new customers.

Until I see a clarification directly from Avast, I'm advising those that have asked me about this to stay clear.
Something just doesn't smell right. Better safe than sorry. :)

Thanks for all the evidence showing that this is an untrustworthy deal. All based on a hunch or because you have never heard of it or avast hasn't run it past you for approval.

I can't find any evidence where the site is untrustworthy. Can you?
