You say you have the Premium - That's a paid version so you wont see all the troubles they create . Most people use the Free, which has regular popups wanting you to buy it, it is basically doing what Malware does . It installs items that most don't use Eg . VPN's and one of the real downers is it tries to alter quite a few of your browser and other setting so it does everything, when in fact it does nothing more than slow down your computer . I been to many peoples computers that have Avast and they are obviously infected, one noticeable thing, the moment you uninstall it the computer speeds up . The last one I went to and removed Avast from, as soon as it rebooted after removal the inbuilt Microsoft Defender kicked in and it detected and removed active malware that Avast totally missed . Ran a antimalware program I use, Adwcleaner located quite a few more and removed them, ran various others and they finished doing the cleanup . So the Anti is -- Its not good, there are way better .	wainuitech (129)

As above, look at the business practices of some of the Free AV companies : Selling browsing data to 3rd parties popups to CON less saving users into buying addons & AV upgrades they dont need Auto Installing addons when you set the option NOT to install these addons (eg: browser plugins) scareware tactics : ie BS, con job popups Really no better than malware . I see alot of people who buy the full product simply because they were conned into it . The one thing AVG & AVAST get right, is automatically updating the product to the newest version . The popular payware AV Endpoint doesnt do that (ie v7 to v7.3 , or v7 to v8 ).	1101 (13337)
