Avast 8 Free AV \u2013 A step in the wrong direction?<\/h3>\n

There is no doubting that Avast Free is one of the most popular anti-virus programs out there, in fact statistics suggest that it is the most popular. However, it is quickly becoming apparent that when this latest version was released it may not have been quite ready for general consumption. I\u2019ve been steadily receiving calls from \u2018clients\u2019 who have been experiencing issues after upgrading to version 8, one of whom can no longer connect to Avast\u2019s update service\u2026 I tried everything I know, and still could not establish a connection. We\u2019ve even received several comments here on DCT reporting similar problems.<\/p>\n

One of the most widely reported issues is that, after performing a system restore, Avast Free will convert to an unlicensed Pro version. Which means that real time protection is disabled and the machine unprotected\u2026 unless the user is willing to pay for a Pro license, of course. One of the best methods for ascertaining if a particular software is buggy or not is to visit any associated forums; if you see a lot of activity on a forum pertaining to issues and complaints, it\u2019s a pretty fair indication that the software is not up to scratch. In this case, there is a lot of such activity on the Avast Forum relating to version 8, and a long thread dedicated to the system restore issue in particular. At this stage, there are no solutions on offer, with most advice suggesting to either revert back to version 7 or just continue uninstalling and re-installing after each system restore.<\/p>\n

But wait, there\u2019s more!–Article Continued Here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
