Re: Big problems with Avast! support

Avast better act quickly and resolve the issue with 3rd party support before it further damages their brand. In the meantime don't phone them

That support guy at iYogi said it would take ONE WEEK for Avast to update! That is, unless the user upgrades to the paid version!!

What utter crap. And AVG uses iYogi. This completes the circle. All three free AV have now shown themselves to be unworthy, unreliable. Users had better start realizing that they need to PURCHASE an AV program rather than rely on a free one. Or maybe they will realize they don't need AV but can protect themselves in other ways.

Panda Cloud AV is a freeprogram, as is PC Tools's ThreafFire

Threatfire is not a traditional antivirus program. Panda, to me, is dead and always will be because of its ownership. I can't be more specific or my post will be deleted.

All I'm trying to say is that there are other free options.
