Using FW to block free AV ad popups?
Hello all...
Been using Avast Free v7 for some years but it will be expiring come Nov. Stuck with this version so long cause you could turn popup ads off. Not so with the newer versions. But Avast isn't a great AV anymore anyway. I have mainly kept it for the boot scanner feature.
Seems all free AVs now are nagware or adware. Would like to give Bitdefender Free a try b/c of its rating. Any current users care to say if this program throws up daily ad popups, and if so, have you tried making a FW policy to block them?
Thanks much.
EDIT: Never mind! Just installed Bitdefender free - had no idea there are absolutely ZERO config options.... and I do mean ZERO. ZIP. NADA. Can't even tell it you only need C scanned and not your other partitions! Holy computers Batman, this has to be the worst GUI ever.... and coming from AVAST where you can practically tell it what you want your dog to do in case of a fire. Won't be using Bitdefender!
