I’ve been using Avast for many years with only minor complaints, but holy cow is the latest version a complete shit-show I woke up and couldn’t get any websites to load at all, spent nearly 2 hours trying to diagnose WTF was going on, turned out Avast decided to block all traffic going through my VPN, and there was no way I’m going to chose Avast over my VPN so I am now having to kill Avast whenever I want to go online which is precisely when I don’t want to kill Avast.
I couldn’t be bothered dealing with that shit today so I spent most of the rest of the day playing Battlefield V, till I started getting disconnected from that, but it doesn’t go through the VPN so I spent another hour trying to figure out why BFV wasn’t working, till I decided in desperation to kill Avast, and low and behold it started working again.
Given that 99% of my computer use is playing games or using the internet this has basically made Avast completely unusable, anyone know of a different Virus scanner that actually lets you use the computer?
