About SafePrice, in my understanding, the function itself was already there (included in AOS plugin), what avast does is making it separable (or configurable centrally) from AOS for user convenience. And now avast is blamed for installing SafePrice without notice...
Exactly.
The problem is that it's now a separate item and unless you either unchecked it in a custom install or,
it wasn't installed in your previous version and you did a program update, it could wind up being installed.
Totally agree............but think good adder would be for Avast to put the "custom" link in the Program Update flow
OK.
Just did a clean install of 12.2.3126.0 and also a Custom Install. Noted pre-checked box for SafePrice as well as
all other option boxes for default install and
unchecked the ones I did not need, including SafePrice. No issues with unwanted or unneeded components or features when custom install was completed.
If you do not use 'Custom Install', then all available options and features will be installed,
given they all are pre-checked for installation by default.
Not sure if adding a third option, 'Custom Install, in add/remove or Programs and Features is really necessary, given that Custom Install is already available in the 'Change' option.
