What do you use as Avast replacement?

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security

So,

After knowing the data spying scandal, what do you use as Avast replacement?

2

I went for Windows Defender with HardConfigurator. But this (https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=231823.msg1534183#msg1534183) seems true as well.

Why do you need a replacement? Avast is still one of the best AV programs available.

My ISP give me free F-Secure safe

Kaspersky security cloud free is one of the best free antiviruses. No proof has been shown that they are working with the Russian goverment. Also Eugene has invited the public and researchers to review it’s databases to prove they are not… i trust kaspersky before i trust avast!!! Also kaspersky has no aggressive scare-ware tactics after performing a full system scans that prompts you to download extra garbage you don’t need. bob3160 is sponsored by avast! so i take what he has to say about avast! being the best with a gain of salt… Considering he has a profile picture of him with an Avast! T shirt on. L0L… Kaspersky is also moving it’s headquarters out of russia.

Being sponsored means that a company believes in you and what you’re doing and wants to help. … You have a fairly good-sized following, so they approach you and offer to sponsor you in exchange for promotion a video, a link in an article or even a social media status. - bob is sponsored by avast which means he will never say anything bad about the product no matter what they do as a company to continue his sponsorship

I on the other hand DO NOT. :-X

Bob’s profile picture is of him in a plaid shirt.

Well that’s great you’re entitled to you’re opinion as i am to mine… But i’d hope you dont believe every Russian propaganda you see out on the internet. Sure russia has had some shady ties but i do not believe they are with kaspersky… I could say the same thing for Norton when they white-listed a backdoor for the FBI. when the media questioned them they had “no comment”

Not the same shirt as in his profile image, no Avast logo.

And expanding the image, does that look like a plaid (big checked) shirt ? :slight_smile:

Total bullshit. :frowning:

Wow, so now I’m guilty till I prove myself innocent?
I’d repeat my last comment but that’s not necessary.

IMO some people are too critical of Bob.
He just thinks battle for privacy on internet is lost.

15

Maybe those that think they still have some privacy left should do a simple search
on their name and/or user name. The results might surprise you. :slight_smile:

Hello Bob,

You are a member on this forum from 2004 and have 42,400 posts so far.

That is on average 8 posts per day , each and every day , work day, weekend, day or night.

If you cannot find ONE POST in 42,000 in which you disagree with Avast! in all this 16 years, maybe there is some truth in the sponsorship idea…

It’s funny, Bob’s outright worship of avast! is something I remember seeing years and years ago. I don’t recall the specific thread but there was an issue with one of the browser plugins when it first launched which was objectively a plugin issue and Bob was basically flinging himself on the grenades over and over trying to put the blame on the end user. He and his fellow cultists are one of the main reasons I never saw any value in these forums and up until last year I had been a free or paid customer since the Alwil days.

I’m gonna go with ESET.

In this country, you are innocent till proven guilty. It’s time people remember that fact.
