I have a paid AIS licence for several machines. I just received an installer from a software provider -- software I use for my job. I launched the exe file and Avast interrupted launch to scan it. Avast has decided it doesn't like my file and sent it to some place called Avast Virus Labs, and now the installer won't run. It's not 1992 anymore, folks. Taking files from machines is a privacy breach. Oh, and stealing.
Avast is now preventing me from doing my job.
I have spent 20 minutes looking for "Contact Avast" information, wandering around the "my account" area, and the forum is the only means for voicing this complaint. Not good enough.
Licences are coming up for renewal in less than a year. I'm now actively looking to replace Avast.
