Annoying "Your location is exposed"
« on: May 09, 2020, 08:28:33 PM »
I use a VPN service from another company and Avast Premium Security annoys me with the message "Your location is exposed London".
I am not in London but use the VPN provider's London server.
You need to get smart, Avast and allow a user to click a box that says "I am using VPN from another provider".
Do not annoy your customers with attempts to sell your own VPN service.

Check your Privacy Settings as these are promoting other avast products and you can turn these off in the paid versions.
