Avast has been going to shit since they bought and merged with AVG.

AVG was the shit standard for worst AV software.

OTOH, I'm surprised Micro$oft didn't think of this first and block it as part of Windows defender. BTW MS is one of the nastiest, most arrogant,dishonest, asshat, left leaning corporations there is.

Why on earth are you people still using Windows?!

Back in 2015 when I saw the preview of Win10 at work, I went home and ditched windows altogether. I've been using Linux Mint since then and I can say that life is much EASIER, by not using MS products. The whole "it just works" trope from MS is a lie. Its actually more applicable to Linux these days.

Although I have to admit, the improvements made to Ubuntu make it really tempting to switch. Either one is a helluva lot LESS hassle and even run faster than the bugfest crap from MS.
