Having used this program for a number of years and found it keeps computer clean there are a few annoying features in recent version releases. these are,
1. The safe internet surfing feature that wants to install without
giving the user proper control over the decision to. You have to
deny installation 3 times to stop the message popping up, logging
off windows each time you make the choice to deny installation.
How about giving the user proper choice!
2. When your license expires and you need to renew it again you
have to go through the above stupid safe internet internet
installation all over again.
3. The annoying popup ad at the end of update, as another reviewer has
stated, has never been taken out. As this may be a small thing it
does add to user frustration when using the product.
Now I realize that this is a freeware program and you have the choice
if you want to buy the program or not but how about freeware from the
excessive advertising campaign. I would be more likely to buy it if
people like avira stopped annoying people with consistent ads and
program modules that give user no installation choice.
I will still use it because I still find it effective, but there will come a time when I will get annoyed enough and just switch to something else.
