avast was in the center of a big ... mistake ... trouble ... :)
Everybody does mistakes and get in trouble...
I was here in December, 3 2009... I was one of the 2321 users online... And so were David, Bob... Maybe Polonus...
We all learn from that :)

You know, there is a huge difference between a genuine mistake and years and years of bad practices. If Avast had been like Comodo, they would have ended up as Spybot nowadays.  ::)

oh okay... the FP disaster... I haven't been caught, explaining may be why I forgot that date ;D

 hmm... tech this is no valid argument. That was a technical accident. Exactly the sort of technical accident that happens once in a while to all AV companies, to Symantec, AVG etc... noone ever thought that these companies would get wiped off the map for this...

 And again, you're not comparing apples to apples, Comodo's ssl incident was not an accident.

avast update police was completely overwritten after that...
I think a security company learns... oh, man, it learns...
Was avast fault? Well... yes. Do they acknowledge? Of course! Did I lost my confidence on avast? No... not for a minute.

Search the forum for Win32:Delf-MZG keyword...

They were attacked with a criminal action passive of judgment and jail called hacking.

Well, LOL. It's like blaming the thief when you left the doors and windows wide open. And again, they come with more promises, which will never get done. Like - two factor authentication and whatnot. I mean, OMG guys, you should have implemented two factor authentication years and years ago. One would reasonable expect that to be a required practice for things like root CA. There are a whole lot smaller and less serious operations that are using it. Or, well, better validation procedure. OH RLY? You have promissed that 3 years ago. Since then, nothing happened. Just lots of corporate blurb and no action done. FAIL.
