hi,
have been using avast for 4 years, signed up with i yogi 2 years ago when had issues with avast, that cost me $160., makes me angry that avast didnt notify me of the issue or that they were not affiliated with them, it has been a nightmare , they call day and night, i tell them “not interested” it does not stop them. the last 4 times i spoke with i yogi,telling them no thanks, their service is too expensive, my avast is turned off , at first i thought no way, but today it happened again within 3 hours
thanks for the info, will now contact avast
How would they have access to your system?
Are you allowing them to remote connect, or ?
I was reading some testimonials, they don’t use the built in Windows remote control thing to access your computer they use something else, were you paying attention when they were working on your system? If you could uninstall whatever they installed or reset any of the remote desktop setting they used, that should stop it.
Last resort will ask for the resident malware removal expert in this forum to look at your system to reset any remote desktop settings or the iyogi software enabling them to remote connect. It is free and they DO NOT need to remotely control your computer to.
Ahhh seriously… if I thought for one second that some malicious company was in my system… I would rebuild it and start over. Besides the NSA I mean… you know cuz they’re cool :-X
If you have issues concerning the third party support contact either riley(at)avast(dot)com or nekvapil(at)avast(dot)com
Please be as specific as possible.
By the way avast hasn’t used iYogi for over a year.
That said I do not like nor do I condone high pressure/hard sell tactics.
Doing so is, IMHO, inexcusable and should not be tolerated. Period. 8)
