The company has a Head Office in Prague, Czechoslavakia which might explain it. There can only be one explanation for the difficulties and experience I have had with AVAST and that is they are DISHONEST, CROOKS. No matter who you try and contact there are hurdles to surmount. They have offices here in teh United Kingdom – supposedly in London? – but only accept letters by snail mail? They outsource the processing of payments through a Dublin-based outfit called DIGITAL RIVER. No matter, they just keep processing teh payment and there seems nothing I can do, or my bank(?) to stop them taking money from my account. I telephoned their customer service call centre – in the Phillipines? – and the ‘adviser’ was very difficult to understand, and did not seem to want to understand that I was calling to CANCEL the subscription. My original investement was about £20! Avast make it impossible to stop the renewals going out via the VISA PURCHASE sytem. But AVAST have been renewing every year since at teh rate of £75. This is A REALLY SERIOUS ISSUE AND SHOULD BE RESOLVED ASAP.I purchased a years AVAST Anti-Virus in 2018, but only wanted it for 12 months. Avast detected "filerep: malware" and after I closed the warning a few times, it went crazy and started deleting my files. The second time, I was opening a zip file that contained an exe of dubious origin. I think it's related to that damn behavior shield. The first time this happened, i was playing a game with the fMSX MSX emulator and avast "decided" that fmsx.exe was a virus and just went nuts and started deleting other files FOR NO REASON, all clean files. I noticed it so I promptly rebooted my PC and only 40 files were deleted. Looking at the virus chest in the avast UI shows nothing! So, it decided to move hundreds of my files to the chest, not notifying me and, even worse, now there's no way of recovering them!!! dat files appeared in the "c:\$AV_ASW" folder. I noticed because my files disappeared without any kind of notification and over 100. The first time, it deleted over 100 executables from my HD, mostly games & emulators and some other utilities. This has happened to me twice.įor some reason avast just goes crazy and starts deleting executables like there's no tomorrow!!!! Ok, I'm sick of avast, not only the false positives, this time is really serious.
