Sorry, Arizona, but your statements don't really make much sense. You are mixing apples and oranges... known BSODs have been fixed, and if you don't like CreditAlert or WebRep, don't use it, or even change the antivirus program if it bothers you that much... it's simple.

And what makes you think that the monitoring is done as a repeated sequence of checks?
Like I said earlier, I have no idea if there is a difference or not. But I do know that I won't take the chance. At least it's an opt-in service, so I can live with it as a paid customer.

Well, the question wasn't really meant for you ;)
It's just that this is a 3rd party product which has existed for a while... so I'd say it's reasonable to assume that it's not so vastly stupid to behave according to the Heisenberg principle (i.e. to change the watched value by watching and drag the credit towards zero).

Bye ;)

For... what? For saying that fixing BSODs and adding new features has nothing in common? Or for trying to explain that your ideas of how CreditAlert works are most likely wrong?
Or for suggesting that you should trust your security software, and if you don't... well, you should probably change it for something you do?

Anyway, we're getting off-topic here, so please let's get back on track.

No point in sacking igor. He would most likely be replaced by someone else who suffers from the same aversions to illogical assumptions (not excluding my own) and runaway consequence hysteria. ;D

To avast team credit report when you check on report your credit go down each time at end you have no credit.Good job avast to make us have no credit.  VLK,PK,IGOR,MARTINZ.

Hi DBone and Arizona,
the credit monitoring is done through the ID Watchdog, which has mutual agreements with the 3 US Credit Bureaus. So it's not the same as checking your credit report with a car dealer ;-) The credit is monitored once per 24h, so imagine that each check would lower it..;-D
So...
1. CreditAlert does not influence your credit score
2. It's a optional feature, so if you don't like it, don't use it
