last year when i paid for the renewal of avast i notice a HUGE upswing in avast's efforts to push their products onto the end user. furthermore the bloatware that they shove onto your computer makes the machine performance suffer. lastly, they only give you partial protection and tell you that if you want the other features they cost MORE. you idiots have lost a paying customer for life with your app mentality and ads. do yourself and everyone else a favor and make a solid product, market it honestly with no hidden bullshit, and man-up. otherwise, continue to lose paying customers like me.
