LOL avast has NEVER been safe, it can mess with your PC at anytime.

Being said that, avast is not a hug resource in your pc (reason why i left kaspersky for example), it protects your pc from outside threats pretty well the problem is the inside threats (software upgrades, virus definitions, etc)…sad but true.

With all due respect I disagree with you. If avast is “unsafe” why have 200,000,000 users depended
on it for protection?

Inside threats? ??? Huh? ???
Software upgrades and vps updates are vital for avast to function.
If it involves the various files on your system you have the file shield to rely on.
