Three times in the past 6 months Avast has randomly decided a program I’ve used countless times before is suddenly a HORRIBLE, EVIL VIRUS and instantly frees me of the horrors that it may incur on my system. Gone. Vanished. Disappeared. Not in the Virus Chest, Recycle bin or any far reaches of my computer.
Three times now I’ve had to dig out old disks or re-download gigs worth of files to get the one freakin’ .exe Avast suddenly developed a distaste for. It’s happened even more with games I’ve downloaded from digital sources such as Steam or GOG and again… download 20 gigs of data to get the one goddamned file Avast shredded to oblivion. Not. Fun.
