i'm fan avast .but

if avast boycott iranian. we ____________ing avast

bad language

It isn't avast boycotting Iran, but legally having to comply with "policies and regulations" that are applicable to AVAST Software a.s." as outlined above by chocholo.

I would imagine this is the last thing that avast wants to get involved in, politics. But it has to comply with the laws that govern the company.

Sound like a complete waste of time to comply with the laws that govern the company at the end of the day this will end up into a piece of crap sooner or later as chocholo post his answer

We all have laws that we have to abide by. They aren't always something pleasant but, that doesn't change the fact that compliance is required.

Most probably the demands of these countries would infringe copyrighted material and antivirus technology.
The country seems to be demanding "too" much of the companies.

Maybe a little different, but remember the leakage of Symantec code happened in India last year.

Hi!
There is no problem With this restriction!!!
Now the Iranian is crack your software & easily use the software & get latest update!!!
I request you to remove these restrictions and be neutral in cyber warfare!
Avast is very Popular in Iran!

[Lisandro]

Neutral? It's avast who is being harmed...

[info_amirfb]

So!
what is the Iranian user's sin?
Governments have a problem with each other,we are Friendly with the avast! but now?the avast is enemy with us!
We are not related to the war!
Should give a convincing answer to millions Iranian users!

[Omid Farhang]

avast is not your enemy, they are just following the rules and respecting their country (and Europa Union) law.
By setting such limitation, avast will use a major number of its users and its not what it want, but they have respect the rules.

AVAST Software a.s. is currently blocking access to port 80 (that effectively means websites and updates of avast! software) of its servers from following countries: Iran, Sudan, Cuba, Syria, North Korea and Burma/Myanmar. AVAST Software a.s. [and its subsidiaries/sister companies] must not provide any services in these countries because of policies and regulations that are applicable to AVAST Software a.s.

Blog and forum are available, because we hope they are information source/personal communication service and because of this they have exclusion from these regulations.

We are sorry for any caused inconvenience.

[Google Translate] Greetings to you. Really sorry that you do to harm the Iranian people and Iranian interests. World and the Iranian people not remain always the ones who will not forget the hardships and problems left side and those that harm the interests they will not forget Hkvmtar

Just like you, I do not agree with harming innocent people.  Avast! has chosen to respect the laws of Iran in this case.

[bob3160]

Avast! has chosen to respect the laws of Iran in this case.

It isn't Iranian law but the law of the EU that Avast is and has to follow.

Otherwise....
