A lot of folks use this excellent anti virus product for free for a very long time without a hitch.Is one isolated problem going to put users of such good a product.I doubt it.
I thank Alwil the makers of Avast for all the protection it has and will continue to give me in the future.When you use the best,who cares about the rest.
It has saved me many times from virus attacks and its web shield even prevented them from getting on my machine.This is one piece of kit I would not do without. ;)
I started using Avast when I was 8 years old and I am now 20.
I really love Avast ;D ;D ;D
I never thought it would reach till CNN
In my lifetime I think I have recommended thousands of Avast to others.
I even asked my big school to install Avast and they did. Now even my college is using it becoz I told them.
From the link:
iReport is the way people like you report the news. The stories in this section are not edited, fact-checked or screened before they post. Only ones marked 'CNN iReport' have been vetted by CNN.
Isn’t it like that CNN has nothing to do with it besides the name of the web?
@ lukor
This is only one article. If you search, you get many articles.
Ah, CNN have not vetted it yet, so we are safe ;D
If you type Avast on Google, the 5th suggestion you get is ’ Avast False Positive’
I hope this is not the biggest blunder by a security software company in history
I saw an Article on Download.com about Avast ‘Oops’
Where it says
False positives happen in the industry. In July, Computer Associates’ antivirus software was falsely tagging a Windows XP system file as a virus, and last year AVG falsely identified a file from security provider ZoneAlarm as a virus.
A user commented on that article posted on Cnet.com the following

This was definately news. Within six minutes of these retarded f*ckwits releasing this update my entire business was in chaos. We immediately began aggressive countermeasures on “infected” machines to prevent the trojan spreading deeper into the network.
We pulled the servers offline, shut down all communication to clients and disconnected all of the workgroups from each other.
Ten minutes in we started to get contradictory information off the net.
NOTHING ON THE AVAST WEBSITE. Do you not follow standard defence procedure based on some blogger somewhere ? We are not sure so stop Avast deleting infected files but still have to follow procedure to isolate infected elements of the system.
24 hours later AVAST has still not explained, let alone apologised for this brobigandian f*ck up.
This morning I am up for thousands in costs to put the bits back together and at least ten machines that need a fresh install of all client apps. “Avast Professional” indeed. "
@Chris Thomas
Poor djb350 as he/she must be a poorly underpaid Sys Admin that needs a bit more training in situations like this and will no doubt be much the wiser after this episode.
Nice pic you have attached ;D ;D ;D
Charles Darwin’s teaching apply here.
I just added my 2 cents to this report which was probably filed by
an iReported who doesn’t know anything about avast! or the Alwil Team.
