Avast Antivirus software anyone?…. Or just use it with Win 10, they can compete for your data.

I would not use it on windows 10. the built in AV is much better.
No, I wouldn't recommend using Avast with 10. It has been implicated in failed upgrades. Uninstalling is troublesome, it can be very difficult to remove completely.
Last part of the article.
Windows 10 anyone?There’s an old adage: When you’re not paying for the product, you’re the product.
I was an Avast user for some time, long ago, what finally made me leave was: suddenly, Avast call-up would generate a "missing dll" error, even after re-install 3 times, re-configuring it 3 times, posting in their forum and never seeing that post again -- did it for me.
In all the years I used Avast over 10 years ago, I found that it slowed the Internet connection down and can and will mess up your TCP/IP stack.
