We realize it's been a while since you posted, but I wanted to check in with you to see if you're still having these issues with Avast Internet Security, and also investigate the issues you had with support. Can you email us at avast- team@avast. We look forward to helping out so you can keep using Avast. Asked for a refund immediately and they said . Their techs are not that knowledgeable. Can you contact us at avast- team@avast. We'll be in touch directly and thanks for using Avast! See below. Cons. I have used Avast Free for 5 or 6 yrs, and Internet Security for 3 now. The 2. 01. 5 version's Safe Zone- -- as soon as you go to a page (a bank log- in or Amazon, for example) that uses Flash, the Flash Player will crash. You cannot pull up the task mgr using mouse or keyboard, and the only option is to shutdown by holding down power button, causing major corruption to Windows files. There is a GINORMOUS amount of discussion about this on the Avast community with little talk of resolution. Moving from WHS evaluation copy to the full versjon of WHS. Should I uninstall Avast before doing the upgrade of WHS. Just insert the license key or license file and the program will become the full version. I talked to Natalia at Bulgar, Avast's remote support contractor, and she acted like it was the first time she'd ever heard of this. She remotely accessed my computer, and brought up the Windows Error Log, and it was loaded with errors caused by Safezone/Flash conflicts. She then tries to sell me a service where a technician can remotely repair my Windows for $1. Obviously, I feel like they should repair it for free since their product damaged my 2 week old computer. Summary. I don't know whether I had an isolated incident due to a bad installation, or what. I would hazard to say not since the Avast community board is abuzz about Safe Zone/Flash incompatibility. The Safe. Zone browser is designed to run without extensions that could compromise your system, but keep in mind that many sites are moving to HTML5 and sites you mentioned such as Amazon and banking sites (which I tested just now) should work fine with no problems at all!

We apologize for the trouble you had, although we assure you that Avast shouldn't be interrupting your use of the Internet, and it's likely this problem was caused elsewhere in your system (your router, ISP, etc.) We'd be happy to help further if you're still seeing these problems, and we'll need some more info about the exact problem that is occurring. You can reach us at avast- team@avast. Even my father in law can use it (zero tech skills). For those having issues with pop- ups GO INTO SETTINGS> CHECK 'SILENT/GAMING MODE'. For free software you will deal with ads etc. I've been using the free version for years, but decided to upgrade to the paid version. Support the software developers, they are doing good work! I got a good price too by clicking the store tab on left side. I have tested Bitdefender, AVG, and many others, and AVAST has the best interface by far, and best security features! Reply to this review. Was this review helpful?(0) (1) Pros. Works in the background to protect me against viruses, like it always has. Cons. All of a sudden, I am getting popup ads begging me to upgrade to a premium tier. I have been using Avast for free for a long time.. They will make me jump ship to a free, less annoying product.

I guess they figure if they are going to license their product for free, they can try to get you on board as a paid user. Pros. Reliable for finding viruses. Cons. 1) Full of pop up ads to buy their products. Too many ads popping up all the time. Invasive pop ups annoying and unwanted. Avast reputation taking a hit due to so many pop ups. Will this be the end of Avast ??? Summary. Used to be good. I guess they figure if they are going to license their product for free, they can try to get you on board as a paid user. Pros. Has a lot of features. Seems to be very configurable to my likings. The best UI of any AV I have used. Cons. It is very bloated. The shield system they have is very useless, it seems like a redundant way to go about protecting a computer. My computer would freeze a lot, especially while using Chrome when it was installed. My computer works perfectly fine now that I uninstalled it. I was using the 2. Summary. I wouldn't use this unless you are a very new computer user, who has no idea what you are doing. It's very good if you want complete protection from viruses, but I think it has a lot of improvement to make it worthy for tech savy people like me. Reply to this review. Was this review helpful?(2) (0) Pros. It's always been a lightweight virus protection program that I liked. Cons. After the recent upgrade, I could not get my Win. Love the pirate voice. Downloaded the free trial for 2. Worked with support staff for 2 days, over 8 hours, including remote session with second call to support staff. Software still won't work. Computer slower than molasses. I'm going to have to haul it in and pay for someone to fix whatever the remote session damaged. Reluctantly returning to Mc. Afee or need to find something else. Lost several days of business. As a solopreneur, that just sucks! Reply to this review. Was this review helpful?(2) (0) Please Wait.
