Why I left avast after 8 years.
« on: June 01, 2018, 02:51:52 AM »
I just installed kaspersky free 2019 now that it has system watcher.  I couldn’t be anymore pleased I don’t have nag screens that show up and the program dosent have a bunch of unwanted junk installed into it. Miss the old days of avast 4.8 when it was a simple security program. Every new release of avast has has got worse and worse... loaded with more and more bloat and junk I do not use...

Agree with those useless software part that come along with avast free, but avast free is still one of the top best free antivirus available atm

It's so easy to do a customize installation and only install the parts you want.
