I used to be very happy with Avast. I suppose it's still doing its basic job as well, since I haven't had any issues with malware.
But for a few months now, the program has been spamming me with advertisements and irrelevant notices. The interface opens itself automatically DAILY to bother me with something, often while I'm trying to do other things.
A while ago I got Avast Cleanup Premium on a whim, and I suppose it is okay, but I would like to stop using it so I tried to cancel my subscription. You have to log into your account on the Avast website to do this, and whenever I try to, it tells me "There has been a problem, please try again later".
I've tried to talk to people on their support forum, but trying to log in there lead me to learn that my IP address has been banned for unknown reasons (first contact, I've never reached out prior, so this is not a case of me annoying them and getting banned).
All in all, the anti-virus program seems decent, but everything around it has become absolutely rotten. The execs over at Avast should really have a stern talk with everyone (other than their software engineers), including themselves for allowing things to deteriorate to this state.
Thanks, now please stop sending me ads every time I breathe.
