Forced Upgrade to Avast Business Cloud Client 4.2.0

I have just had my entire estate forcibly upgraded from AVG Cloud Client 3.6.4 to the (awful) Avast Cloud Client 4.2.0.

This is despite my policy specifically prohibiting Client Component Updates.

What the hell do you think you’re doing??? This could be illegal under the UK Computer Misuse Act as Avast DO NOT HAVE PERMISSION to do this…

I want answers for this illegal activity NOW!!!

No answer from Avast?

Typical…

Push an upgrade I have specifically disabled (because the 4.x.x client is garbage) and it is already causing problem and a number of machines…

Useless…
