Holmes Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 I am going to continue using ccleaner. I dont think avast is faulty software my mom uses it and it has gmer built-in although there aswmbr always crashes when I try to use it (if Im not mistaken gmer is built into avast antivirus and you dont need to use aswmbr to be able to use gmer integration). There boot-time scan is very nice. Its very possible that avast could ruin ccleaner i dont want to make negative assumptions thats what my moms side of the family is for. If something negative does happen Ill just use the latest version that was available before avast touched it problem solved. In the future Ill be using command line scripts to clean my computer or powershell if necessary you can find plenty in bleeping computer's forum or do your own research and find out windows cleaning commands that best suit your computer problem solved there to.

Petrovic Posted July 21, 2017 Author Share Posted July 21, 2017 Quote This week, Avast confirmed their acquisition of Piriform, one of the most reputable providers of optimization software. Piriform has been around since 2004 and is responsible for the creation of a number of programs, most notably CCleaner which appears to be the main focus of the move. CCleaner helps make PCs and smartphones faster, cleaner, and more secure by carrying out tasks such as deleting unused files, clearing cookies, and decluttering the machine of errors and corruption. This results in quicker loading times, smoother performance, and a lower risk of crashing or getting a virus. Like Avast, Piriform specialize in free software, which users can pay to upgrade and receive more advanced features. This is a sign of quality according to Avast, who said “if you are providing a free product, you need to convince people that your product is free, but not cheap. You need to provide a pretty damn good product so people will use it and recommend it to their family and friends.” As the two merge, hopes are high that the communities of the two programs – many members of which have been loyal customers for years or even decades – will assimilate well and bring benefits to both parties. One reason for this optimism is the high level of similarity between the two services. Both pride themselves on their lightweight products that have long been at the forefront of their respective fields. Die-hard CCleaner and Piriform fans may be a little concerned about what will happen to their software, but Avast have been quick to reassure customers that Piriform products will be kept separate from their own, maintaining the same level of service and the features they have become accustomed to. This appears to refer to all Piriform products, which include Recuva, Defraggler, and Speccy in addition to CCleaner. For Avast, there is hope that the move will allow them to expand further into the optimization field. They will continue to develop and run their own optimization software of Cleanup and AVG TuneUp alongside the Piriform products. Another advantage of the deal is that it will bring Avast closer to the London scene, as this is where Piriform is based. Being a larger part of the formidable tech ecosphere of the UK capital looks to be a big boost for Avast (and their customers). So what does the future hold? Right now, it’s tough to say exactly, but Avast are extremely positive about what’s to come, saying “We look forward to working with the Piriform team to continue building a strong future.” http://www.getavast.net/news/avast-have-acquired-piriform-heres-everything-you-need-to-know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steven36 Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 That's what happens when you been the most installed Antivirus in the world for like 10 years and Windows Defender don't count because people who use windows 8.1 or Windows 10 it comes built in you dont really install it.. and if it didn't no one would use it.. they never did before. You get so rich you can buy everything up. Avast own Tuneup too because they own AVG now . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can just block it with a firewall ..Did you know you can block Avast from the internet and install offline updates and it will still work fine. I dont think Avast is bad they provide millions of people with a full featured Anti Malware for free.. Most any of that privacy stuff you can opt out of in the settings and any data they collect is anonymous . It is no worse than using windows itself witch made the news for collecting data many many times in the last two years. Avast, Kaspersky, Dr. Web steal from the user's computer literally anything they can reach. Avast does not even follow the rules of its own firewall. It already connects to its servers when even Windows is not fully booted. Enabling or disabling privacy settings in Avast does not do anything. Because it's a placebo. Selling user data is the main source of income Avast. Use the "Wireshark", Luke. :) PS: I completely disabled Windows 10 spying capabilities and unnecessary functional.

So does everything else Quote The United States stands as the top country which was hit by notorious traffic related to web applications. The percentage is 66% followed by Brazil & Germany with 5% and the United Kingdom at 3%. You cant even go on the internet without someone stealing you're web traffic this is why using a good firewall and blocking even freeware is a must and what does Microsoft do they turnaround and make a OS that is full of web apps ! And it's not always the vendors some time apps are hijacked by governments witch i'm not really concerned about this .If you done something or have something the Government wants you have way more problems than the exploit itself and chances are you are being watched in real life too. Companies have been collecting data for many years and the only thing you can do is try block as much as you can but you're fooling yourself if you think you can block it all .

Many hardcore Linux users that preach Foss say Windows is a virus itself .. Maybe he should switch too Linux if hes this paranoid . What makes you think that I do not use antivirus app? I even install it on a PC running Linux. I always laugh at the answers on the forums about the fact that Linux does not need an antivirus. I remember a few years ago in advertisements MacOS and Redhat mentioned that these systems are not affected to malware infection. Then they removed the mention of it. 70% of zombies bots involved in DDos attacks are running LInux. This is not only an IoT device, but also servers and computers of home users. If we consider the prevalence of Linux then this figure is huge. All antivirus applications steal user data. Someone less, someone more. But in some you can disable it, and that you can not disable it can be blocked by the firewall. Of the two evils, one always needs to choose the least. The main thing that the antivirus does not violate and does not bypass the rules of its firewall and does not contribute to this OS. PS: If now Linux and Windows would change places it would be the end of the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the beginning of the year, I fixed up with friends who use Linux three problems:1: Something changed the DNS address every time after reboot.2: The internet connection did not work.3: Pressing the keyboard displayed a completely different symbol. All this fixed Eset Antivirus for Linux Desktop (Bussines edition). By the way bussines edition can be used without a login and password if you change the update server to this http://isnet.grifon.info/nod/v4/ Quote on Linux Desktop they plug holes as soon as they find them ..You don't be waiting a year too 3mths after they find them like on Windows . Security updates on Linux come all the time. It is not true. Take at least a recent case with the popular vlc player. Renowned Debian fixed the problem only after 2 weeks on stretch and 2.5 months on jessie. Let me remind you that the philosophy of Debian implies correcting any vulnerability within 48 hours. 80% of the vulnerabilities that are detected in one way or another relate to the network security of servers or his work. These vulnerabilities are found by professionals who are interested in a quick fix. Packages that use home users are almost never tested for vulnerabilities.
