I’ve used AVAST for years and not had to add a game to exceptions before.
My poor understanding of how it all works leaves me feeling somewhat nervous as to how secure I am. To the point where I’ve gone in to setting and turned off auto-renew so I can do a bit of research first.
I liked AVAST because it rated well on independent reviews, and didn’t have the infuriating pop-ups (unfortunately, that has changed).
With the pop-ups and now this - is definitely time for a bit of research (sadly).
