I see a lot of "Microsoft does this, Google does it, I have faith, the CEO of Avast says.
This isn't about what MS or Google did, or do. It's about what Avast did. I have no faith in what Avast's CEO said, because it's very much like a crook being caught and apologizing to his victims. He isn't sorry he did it; he's sorry he got caught.
I'm an Avast user for over 16 years. Rather, I was an Avast user. Avast is gone and will never be on my computers again. Once burned, twice cautious.
