@MartinZ: Security features are more important than a context-menu on the system tray :)

I hope Avast 2016 will give much better security and not more Bloatwares.

Obviously ease of access is very important to a lot of users.

 >:(

Windows 7 x64  Avast Internet Security
Avast requested that I update today.  So like an idiot I did.  NOW the firewall won't start.  Tried to "roll back" and it says it couldn't complete and I still have no firewall. Come on Avast that is just sad.  Are your programmers sleeping on the job?  What the heck?

Please fix the update asap and please let me know how to fix this issue.

Not exactly phishing but it will show that the site has bad reputation. For phishing sites we use external source, but that's a good idea to include also user input. We just need to be careful to avoid competition wars ;-))
