Hi, shane,
I have and so many others have written to Avast web forum and it is still going strong with users questioning the avast free hand of spying all the website the users and their stubborn reply of accepting privacy policy during the time of installation. I do not thing, that if i give the link, you might be able to see, as replies or threads open only when you log in. Is it correct or could I give the link. Descriptive replies are there but there is no reason, why they have suddenly stopped once it is appeared in How to geek com. This is the point.
comparing all this, I think that MSE is safe and dependable. Cnet used to be the best download site some years ago, when i start learning downloads and computer articles, but now it is injecting babylon tool bars, which changes thousands of entries in the registries so no one could simply delete the tool bar. Thanks Shane
