I don't know for sure what Avast direction is. I've been using them since almost the beginning, gosh, i can't remember ! I've installed avast on every single computer i get access to, including those of my family and workplace.
How did they managed to screw up so badly? And prior to this version, idk if they have other updates that has it's own topic that received as much flak as this thread, so i'm gonna take it as it is, that this is the WORST version they've ever released.
I like the idea of going back version, i'm gonna search how it can be done, as pointed above the version doesn't bring any advantages to anything, and the only real advantage here is the definition update. Let's be real here, what's the point of updating the F*ng core if it doesn't help? I've never see a need for windows to update the defender's core, only updates the definition of it. Even if they did, i don't see bloody GUI changes and critically breaking changes that screws up the file system !
Avast, i'm giving you 3 days, if you don't do a rollback or find a fix and then STOP all future updates without first testing it on your own system that simulates the millions of users you're affecting, i'm gonna uninstall your crap (which is a pain but necessary) from every single system i've installed it in, and i'm gonna leave a neg review everywhere i see someone recommend avast.
3 days. You hear me?
Oh and, f*ng please fix your G damn forum that requires a f*ng captcha (that i can't even read even though i can solve 99.99% of the captcha out there except this one which i need to fire the audio version) every single post and edits.
You're just being lazy, or at least hire a mod that deals with spam, you had money don't you?
