![]() Avast has many products and not all of them are antivirus. Please accept our sincere apology for the delayed response. We apologize for the issue you encountered, and we understand your frustration. Hello Leslie, Thank you very much for taking time to provide feedback. I really depend on your software and don't want it to get ruined by a thirst for monetary gain. You're beginning to behave like a lot of scummy companies such as TotalAV, PCProtect, ScanGuard and Bytefence. But them existing in the first place, is the moral question. Avast's justification for this often is "You can reduce the frequency of our own deceptive pop-ups". Does that mean users with stock Firewall are immediately vulnerable to being hacked? Unless you're a government agent, No. Is Avast Firewall superior to Windows Firewall? Of course. It's the software equivalent of stealing your lunch money. Any novice computer user will see these words, with a red overlay and react with legitimate fear. The lines that Avast crosses into increasing the likelihood of a sale is simply ridiculous, and these marketing practices shouldn't be legal. Constant advertisement pop-ups stating that "You are unprotected", "You are in danger", "Your identity may be stolen", "Your computer firewall is vulnerable to hackers". Arguably, it now behaves like scareware, the very programs it's supposed to be protecting you from. As I've stuck with this program, I have observed it's behaviors change. Before this, I have used Avast Free since 2012. I've recently purchased a year of Avast Ultimate.
