What Avast site is real?
« on: November 20, 2013, 09:58:33 AM »
Avast has given good free protection. But I had to install Windows 7 again on this laptop.So I went to Google to find the Avast write. I was not sure which was the right one. I wanted the free version of 2013, the the 2014 paid version.
Well, I made the wrong choice. I stopped the installation, but  too late.

I loaded Malearebytes  from a Flash card. Ran it. Got 71 puppies. Found a copy of Avast on by desktop, put it on the laptop. Now I am OK. Close call.

So my quotation is, Why does Google let the criminals do that? The crooks were allowed to advertise with the good name of Avast to load up a bunch of trash.

Is this sort of deception g ever going to stop?
