Hello,
Besides silently adding "improvement" modules and features without user consent, now Avast seems to badger users into granting those modules full access and free run.
For instance, mere setting the "behavior shield" to "Always ask" on my PC caused Avast icon to warn with an exclamation mark, claiming in the main interface window that I'm somehow "vulnerable" and even creating a false impression of the module being off (by means of a red slider indicator).
I am not going to change my settings and shall rather get used to the exclamation mark and warnings. However, this manipulative false alarm may cause me to miss another - real - problem with Avast in the future. In that scenario I would rightly blame the developers.
On a more general note, Avast can force all sorts of unwelcome changes, push for Chrome etc. Yet experienced users like myself may stick to, say, Firefox and rather eventually drop Avast if it becomes too much of a hassle. Thanks for the glorious past, yet the way it goes, bot in PC and on Android, I am less and less fond of the idea to purchase a license for such a patronizing and increasingly behemoth-like software package.
