I've used Avast for free for a long time but they can be very annoying. No I don't want Chrome installed every time I update. And yes I know it's because I use the free version, but gawdamn I don't need to be reminded so much that you are there. I use silent mode now, against their wishes.
I feel they try to promote add-ons (to their anti-virus package) that not only do I not need, but that are suspiciously suspicious. No thanks. Bunch of bloatware. "16 programs are slowing your PC!" I see right now. Sure they are. Go **** yourself. Maybe you can offer to "clean my registry" too? ![]() Just a rant. |

As has been stated for other things, if you get a service for free, you are the product.

Dang. I thought from the thread title that PornHub had found a new intersection of kink.
