Too obtuse

Dear Avast You are too Obtuse,

Pardon my harsh language; however, it seems every now and then you get a stick up your buttox and want to send me on a wild goose chase. The name of the game is find exe file you are blocking that my favorite game needs to run in order to play. Yes I have been playing this game for months with out issue. Yes it is a game played by millions of people. But you will decide randomly that after a update that you want to block it after months of allowing it to run. You have no idea of the pain and frustration this causes me. Why do you hate me so? Is it because I use you as a free service to keep my computer clean? If you were not so good at protecting me from the STDs of the interwebs I would have dumped you years ago. Prey you do not falter in your success rate of protecting my computer, because the day it gets even a sniffle you shall be replaced by AVG.

GOOD DAY SIR!!!

No mention of what game Avast is blocking, that might be beneficial

Now that Avast owns AVG I guess they wouldn’t mind if you switched…detection would likely be the same ;D

The game is League of Legends though I am not sure that matters to them

Hi, disable the behavior shield or set an exclusion.

Thanks for the suggestion Ayn but I have tried that, LOL is in my exclusion list and I even uninstalled all of the shields. From what I can can see Avast removed the ability to delete files that they are blocking. I am sorry Avast… you are making me choose between my favorite game and you. Unfortunately you loose. This is disappointing after the dozens of people I have directed toward your software who eventually purchased your product. You will no long make my recommendation of programs to install…
