I'm using Avast Free 18.8.2356 on my XP VM.
Unclosable Ads Blocking Screen
I clicked on the Privacy Issues button and now I have a window that cannot be close trying to force me to purchase "Avast SecureLine VPN".
There is no way to kill any of the multiple windows associated with this annoyance.
I'm forced to restart my VM to get rid of it.
This is exactly the way that malware behaves, ironic considering that this is supposed to be an Anti-Malware product.
What is wrong with you people?
Foolish Performance Warnings
The Performance Monitor complains that VMware Tools is slowing my computer.
This "computer" is an XP VM, so it needs VMware Tools.
It also complains about Process Explorer (superior Task Manager for Windows).
There appears to be no way to prevent the "helpful" Performance Monitor from complaining about these necessary programs.
What is wrong with you people?
Avast used to be a good program years ago, but now every update just makes it worse.
What is wrong with you people?
Here's a novel idea, restore user control, instead of blindly following the Microsoft W10 paradigm of removing all user control.
Thank you.
