Software purchase
Software purchase
CommunicationEh, so the software I got at first was like a big package deal with all these apps together - it had a firewall/scanner and VPN. But then the company went and split up these apps and started selling them individually. I was kinda bummed out 'cause all I really needed was the firewall/scanner and VPN. It was annoying gettin' all these alerts tellin' me to buy more apps that I didn't even want. So cuz of that, I had to bump down my rating from five stars to four stars, eh.
Antivirus software purchase

CommunicationThe antivirus I got has this quick scan thing that's pretty handy, and the alerts definitely got my attention. But man, those pop-ups were driving me nuts, always popping up when I was trying to get stuff done. And don't even get me started on the alerts for websites that were actually safe. Super frustrating, you know? Avast really needs to fix these problems to make the user experience better. But other than that, I gotta say, the software itself works great and I can rely on it.
