Avast deleted crutial files in my pc
« on: September 25, 2016, 05:28:35 AM »
Well i did a "cleanup" purchase on my pc and it did cleanup my pc alright, not a day went by after the cleanup my pc started doing BSOD cuz it was missing files from the registry.... It said oh these files are just junk and unused and taking up space.... And yep sure enough it deleted them, and me trusting avast was the worst mistake ever, i didnt understand what it was deleting i just put full trust in avast to cleanup my pc from junk, i paid the 23 dollars and now im paying by f**cking RESETTING MY PC BECAUSE ITS MISSING REGISTRY FILES!!!!  So thank you avast for being a piece of shit, i will be soon putting in a refund ticket and uninstalling it from my pc, oh and further proof, i did a clean install on windows 8.1 because i still have the disk, oh get this.....same GD thing happened on two...two seperate hard drives in the same pc W10 on a 1tb hd and 8.1 on the 300gb hd same issues. And it happened about an hour after installing avast on the W8.1 hd so the culprit, avast.
