Agrees Avast going more like AVG is definitely the wrong direction, I jumped ship from AVG back in late 2005, briefly tried out Windows Live One care when it first came out, then been mostly on Avast Free since I learned of it, and jumped to that way back when. On the Fence on the changes right now, not even sure if I did abandon ship now what i'd even use, on limited budget so paying for a program not sure on lol.
Mind you my test PC (Windows 7 SP1 Desktop) I can't even get the threat alert to popup lol, so I don't know if it's a security setting in new home gateway modem (cable modem, router, wifi, and phone emta all I one) or what, but when I try eicar test file on that one, (download version) I get page cannot be displayed lol, so far I haven't even personally seen the new threat alert, except one time on that system
One File alert popped up as normal corner alert, then did the second test on my main Desktop for a change since upstairs machine keeps saying page cannot be displayed when I try the same test. (besides doing clean install of this PC probably when Fall Creators update comes) This is the kinda popup I cannot stand, Whats wrong with using the same detection alert in the right corner just above the taskbar?
