I think 99.9% of the people who even knew that this FP thing happened (probably most people never even knew of it, because of the timing) are going to be sensible and understand how RARE this has been for Avast!
When running Norton or McAfee, years ago, I had those kinds of problems ALL THE TIME!!! Sheesh! It seemed there was hardly a week that would go by without some major problem being traced back to one of those programs! Avast!, on the other hand, simply keeps working away and protecting--usually quite quietly and effectively. This is the first time it's ever SCARED me with something like this, and I really doubt there will be something of similar proportions in a LONG, long time, from this team!
I'm now running the Pro version, and have turned off Spyware Doctor, which turned out to be the ACTUAL culprit of my browsers not wanting to run correctly. Spyware Doctor has given me nothing BUT problems since I purchased a 3-computer license for our family computers, back in June. Avast!, on the other hand, has not given me a SINGLE problem in all that time. Now my machine is running smoothly and efficiently once again, with JUST Avast! in place.
