Bye Avira for ever

The first antivirus that force you to install a junk toolbar. The ask installer is sitting in the avira folder and you can't even delete it.Well done avira !.
I uninstalled avira and installed Avast.

 

Is this the free version or the premium?

 

Free version. The Premium wouldn't dare do this stuff to you.....

 

Maybe because you forgot to disable the option to protect Avira's files and folders..? Smh.

 

Give them some time...

 

avast! is better in every way, so it's a win-win.

 

I received this through regular update. I don't know about the full installer yet.

 

After updating to SP2, you might notice that the extra self-protection options are enabled, which means deleting Avira's files aren't possible. If you did not already know, the webguard works even if you disable the toolbar.

Like I had mentioned in that thread, the toolbar isn't half bad.

 

Not news, but still

In about 30 days my v.9 free ends so i will have to install v.10. I'm looking forward to finding ways to defeat the Toolbar install If it can't be done without breaking something/s, i'll just choose not to use it

 

This toolbar is spying on us and send statistics about sites we visit.
