It is now obvious to me that AVAST are now "spying" on us all - After continuous popups relating to what/where I am browsing !

* Example - While online banking (more than once) ... Avast pops its head up and warns me that I'm not secure online.
** Another Example - While trying to find solutions to a friends hardware problems - Avast pops up and "asks" if I'm having issues, etc.

I have lots of other examples to illustrate that AVAST is now NOT the software to use - because of this "spying"

Avast used to be fantastic - in the "good old days" -- Not now !

I have used AVAST for years - and (used to) recommended to anyone and everyone !
No Longer .... You guys have gone too far now, with this blatantly obvious spying !

And YES - I know they're kind of Adverts
This type of advert is too much !
You guys have overstepped the mark this time.

Time to look for another anti-virus provider (none nosy provision)

I'll give Avast until my license runs out to FIX this.
Or make it less obvious that they monitor ALL your online activities.

346 days - or less, I guess.
