Yandex acquired Agnitum technology for Yandex Browser

Agnitum product support will cease December 31st 2016 http://www.agnitum.com/news/2016-01-14-yandex-acquired-agnitum-technology.php

There is also a license/product exchange (outlined and link in the above) however, you have to be quick as the license exchange deal ends 31/1/2016.
It would be nice if Avast would participate in this exchange.

P.S. Also read my reports from the HTTPS Everywhere Atlas that from time to time land in the "virus and worms" section of these here forums and all the prevailing issues I mention and all the constant unique IDs tracking going on all the time.
We live in an insecure digital world, my dear forum friends, we really do!
Wake up IT, patch, upgrade, retire and code secure....  :)

There is nothing to stop you continuing using it - just no more program updates - so I'm in no rush to find a replacement.

I would suggest you try and download the latest version if you didn't save the installation file.
