AVASt and Faunasphere from BigFsih games

[keathr]

Today after the company did updates to their online game AVST will not allow it to run. We contacted them and they said to uninstall avast and it would run. They said they have been in conact with avast about the problem but so far no repsonse. Today we have been in contact with over 300 users of vast home and they report the same issue and after uninstalling avast the game works again. Is anything being done about this or do we have to go buy another antivirus assuming avast is not going to resolve the problem??

It's because of their toolbar.

You should uncheck the toolbar when you install their games unless the option to opt-out was not included in the installer.

I guess the tool bar is adware, but their company is still good.
