Years ago Avast didn't popup scare tactics that I remember with the latest ads, its getting to the point of way over the top in my opinion---From this one your ip address is visible, to the webcam might be spying on you, and hundreds of others that popup occasionally, to Notification of Avast Premium for 6 months or whatever the darn notification is
Avast has had the privilege of being installed since 2006 on household systems, but only a matter of time it will get to a point where it's way too much, and force even longtime users to possibly give up on using it.
Probably why a lot of other tech forums when i posted on PC issues before in the past, that was probably unrelated to Avast--like my missing Temporary internet files location that I posted about a bit here and another forum, first thing in the reply was, what Antivirus you running, I replied Avast 19.5 at the time, and next reply was to dump Avast, and just use Defender. ((I didn't dump Avast yet, fixed that issue with a clean windows 10 install in the end))
