Well,well well...lol
2014? That long ago, maybe I did purchase it.
But hey, at least they didn’t get hacked and have someone steal all of their data...
lol. Slimeballs. People buy antivirus software to avoid that kind of phishing. Very unethical and deceptive.
Butt, butt, butt should we non participants get a bonus?
Is that why they were giving it away for free?
Bastards wouldn’t work with me when we changed internet providers and lost our old email account. Had to actually close out a credit card account to prevent them from billing me for a service I couldn’t even use due to the lockout. They “accidentally” changed me to auto renew. Screw em.
We all know that microsoft is not doing this with their Windows 11 “Recall” app that records everything you do.....(very sarcastic) It has already been found out they were recording credit card #’s and tax info when they said they would not. It is always “inadvertent”. They will also inadvertently upload this info using microsoft’s OneDrive. I use to do support that included OneDrive. Go ahead and see if you can delete your info from the many servers your files are backed up on. I had calls where people’s personal and work files were co-mingled.
They promise that info is only stored on your pc.
My files are already on the pc.
I do not need snapshots of files!!!
I do not want Bitlocker encrypting my files either. POOF! they are all gone if you cannot log in or the password is corrupted or hardware changed.
From a search:
“Recall allows you to search for content, including both images and text, using the clues you remember. Trying to remember the name of the sustainable restaurant you saw last week?”

Now you know they are lying to you!
“sustainable restaurant”
I have the free version of Avast. It’s a nightmare with the popup’s telling me I’m being watched or the computer’s drivers are out of date or whatever else they try to scare you with.
The program will not allow it to be deleted. I’ve tried it, they have Windows set to not allow a program delete. So I went into the Avast files in Drive C and manually deleted them. Avast was gone for a couple weeks, then back with a passion.
And they lock my computer up when I won’t buy their crap. When going on line I get a message “Action cannot be completed because your computer has a virus”. The same with trying other functions. System Restore is also disabled so I cannot go back to a date prior to installing this crap. After a couple days the computer is back to normal.
I’m going to have to completely reload the op system to get rid of it.
I only used the free version - years ago. I finally opted to use Microsoft Defender and haven’t had any issues over the last couple years...
No one has figured out the obvious. It’s far easier to send a little $$ back to the customer with a check to update the financial info they filched earlier.
On the internets. When it is free-————>>>>>You are the product
“Nobody rides for free”
Nobody rides for free (nobody, nobody)
Nobody gets it like they want it to be (nobody, nobody)
Nobody hands you any guarantee (nobody, nobody)
Nobody
No, nobody, baby
The hearts are hard and the times are tough
Down on the boulevard, the night’s enough
And time passes slow (and time passes slow)
Between the store front shadows (between the store front shadows)
And the streetlights glow
Everybody walks right by
Like they’re safe or something
They don’t know
Nobody knows you (nobody, nobody)
Nobody owes you nothin’ (nobody, nobody)
Nobody shows you what they’re thinking (nobody, nobody)
Nobody, baby
