Doesn’t matter who would win in a detection contest at this point.
I have had problems with the last three or four updates using Win 7 and the last on recently completely hosed my OS. would only allow a few .exes to run and then only after clicking on them and dismissing the error notices several times. Avast was the only program in start-up that actually ran on boot. The entire machine was ****** until I disabled Avast. Then everything worked correctly again. There is no doubt Avast was at fault and I am not a novice at this crap.
I have NEVER had to reinstall windows because of an infection, but this was not an infection and falls 100% on Avast.
I’ve used it for years and really liked it too. Gone now and won’t be back, at least until they come out with Win 9 at least, because we all know Win 8 was designed for mobile devices and on the PC is complete crap.
