Avast Antivirus Reviews

It has been 4 years since I have used their products and I have cancelled all subscriptions (by speaking with their representatives over the phone) with them multiple times since. I am still receiving charges on my credit card for their software. Their product is good but their way of doing business is dishonest at best.

Just have my phone now, since Avast Driver didn't protect my computer and hackers got in and held my computer hostage. Anyways no big deal except poor protection, but the big deal is that my contract renewed just 6 days ago, and I called to cancel it and they want $99 to do so. Shawn ** more like Hredhaan, took the then brunt of what I have to say after he quoted this one time special. I get it, let's run our business like a scam... Don't buy poor product and business model.

Terrible and unprofessional customer support. I had to politely beg for a refund for a charge that was automatically renewed without my authorization. The entire request lasted 30 minutes while the customer support agent named Kennedy, attempted to exhaust me with alternatives and delayed responding for nearly 5 minutes. The agent tried to exhaust me by asking several times why I wanted a refund and tried to only offer a 75% partial refund.. It was quite obvious their intentions were to frustrate me and delay the entire process.

I downloaded this Antivirus that was supposed to be a FREE trial, so when running program, it would show error BUT IN ORDER correcting the problem, I was continually asked to pay more and more. ARE YOU ALL A BUNCH OF THIEVES. You lie to the people to get them to download your antivirus free then you sock it to us. SHAME ON YOU.

Avast makes a good product with lots of extras. The anti-virus program works very well, slows your computer very little (assuming that the computer is fairly new). I love the product and it has a lot of add-on tools - too many! Avast Premium Internet Security is just fine for most people. Avast is broken down into too many components, each of which you have have to pay for. To get the total package is very expensive. Watch your install as Avast often includes bloatware that, if you're not careful, is easy to miss.

I've been using the paid app for years. It worked well though there were annoying pop-ups all the time. Today I opened my computer and the screen showed that Avast was updated overnight. But my computer would not boot up and a white screen kept flashing. I was on the phone with customer support for 2 hours and finally at the end they told me I needed to pay for additional support to resolve the problem. After I complained and demanded that they fix what they broke they fixed the issue in 2 minutes. Beware the upsell. I'm past the 30 day period since my last renewal so I cannot get refunded I will not be renewing again.

Invasive! Can't uninstall it. Been trying for half an hour. Computer keeps crashing. Even downloading their uninstall.exe doesn't work. Great. Counting their browser, which I didn't ask for and also can't uninstall, I now have THREE UNWANTED AVAST PROGRAMS ON MY COMPUTER. And the popups won't stop coming. Avoid them.

I bought Avast antivirus software and recently added their Cleanup software and their Driver updater. After buying the Driver updater I was not able to use my scanner, which is connected via WIFI. Avast's solution is to have me buy another $200 package to fix their flawed software. Scammers!

BE CAREFUL OF AUTO RENEWAL SCAMS BY AVAST! I purchased the 3-1 bundle which included Avast Cleanup Premium fro $119.99 on June 15. On June 30 Avast still initiated the auto renewal for the Avast Premium Cleanup product for $63.99 on June 30. I knew there was an auto renewal but thought since I purchased the product in the bundle, their sophisticated system would recognize this and AUTO CANCEL THE RENEWAL SINCE I JUST ORDERED IT! Their support, Poojitha, said I should be managing my subscriptions online and it is not their fault I WAS CHARGED TWICE FOR THE SAME PRODUCT! I cancelled the $119.99 order! BE VERY AWARE OF HOW THEY MAKE DUPLICATE CHARGES AND CHEAT YOU. MY SYSTEM IS STILL VERY SLOW!

Well, I have bought Avast Premium Security from the partner avast-tn.com. I really appreciate all the features starting from the efficient firewall, the wifi inspector, the remote access shield, but what is impressed me is that I can prevent access to apps and block my webcam when I need. And also the password protection is also feature I really like. Good job!
