And that's a valid point. (And one, I believe, you made before -- in that Avast was more up front with its new EULA by declaring the...
Well...annoying, on a mass scale, is pretty bad, IMO. But hey...to each his own, right?
What more "elaboration" is really necessary? Did you READ the post that was linked? The new version, and everything related to it, is causing a...
The post below is from a current thread in the Avast help forum. It pretty much says it all about the new version of Avast (it's the 9th post in...
Thanks. I was just trying to get a handle on what you were presenting. You did it quite well; it was just a bit (or maybe more than a bit) over my...
So are you saying Avast is intentionally trying to discourage users from creating multiple Avast accounts? How would that be advantageous for...
But at least you're providing the logical rationale behind the change -- to accommodate/enhance the cloud features/services in the new...
I'm not sure anything is wrong with it either. What I asked you is how does it benefit the company and/or the user by making the change. An...
You were the one who made the association between companies who use adware toolbars and this current need to not only register Avast, but create...
It's clear cut how adware toolbars generate money for any companies who use them. How does registering with Avast generate money for Avast?
Good question. But it's confirmed by VLK that registration is now required for Free Avast.
A change in Free version .1426: You must create an account in order to register, not simply provide a name and email.
Thanks for your response. And as you stated...whether it's 50 or 100, it's statistically insignificant.
This article might explain and/or clarify some of the confusion surrounding any company that has always relied upon EULAs and is now faced with...
And that's fine. Your post rings true, and I have no problem with anything you've said. What I do have, however, are some questions, since what's...
Here's another amazing concept: discussing a security program's issues on a security forum. Try it out some time.
Of course, on the other hand, if they'd simply waited 2 weeks to "iron out the bugs" before mass releasing it, and trashing lots of people's...
Winner!! (By contrast, those peddling the "TRUST ME BLINDLY" line just dig the hole that much deeper for themselves.)
And yet there were no issues with v 6, which is still available. So to say it's not an issue is false, as far as I'm concerned. Anyone who finds...
Pointing out the discrepancies between the two EULAs is hardly slander. Neither is pointing out the problems with the new release. And your...
The v 6 virus definitions continue to be updated. And the so-called improved "features" of v 7 have yet to be proven significantly effective...
This is name calling, has nothing to do with the topic, and is a violation of the TOS. (Not to mention that is has nothing to do with being...
Please show me a single instance in which I've said that Avast caused problems for EVERYONE. If not, then stop misquoting me.
Did you read the link?
Fair enough. The fact that I'm not using it doesn't mean that I have nothing to contribute to this thread. At the very least, I'll provide...
Separate names with a comma.
