Why ads now. I'm not going to purchase a free antivirus.
I was happy with avast but I'm not upgrading as i was happy with what i had.
Please remove the ads or i will be removing avast from my device and using a competitors antivirus. thank you

The ads have been there for many years.

Ofcourse you don't buy a free application.
If you had to buy it, it wouldn't be free :P

You can disable the ads in the paid versions.

All free av's that I have seen are displaying ads.

As they say "You get what you paid for".

Every single free software I have has ads.

If you don't like ads don't drive your car. Advertising is everywhere.
I buy a newspaper and what do I get? Advertising on virtually every page.
