Avast is not malware, is not dangerous, and does not sell your data, I own my data and my business they have been the ONLY service I've used that has gave me my own Global Admin console to construct and see what I can come up with that fits me best. I have used them since AVG I know the reseller and I 100% endorse them they have been receptive to all my ideas and is constantly asking if there is anything else they can do to improve. Yes we have had some quirks to sift out but with my technology and resources which they are welcome to. I see them bringing something to the table nobody has. Already look at how many different tools and apps they have I love it!
