Got tired of the constant prompts to upgrade and update. Seems like nothing can happen in Avast without end user's involvement. I don't want the end user updating anything. I don't want to be notified that "Avast Upgrades are now on special!" All that does is cause my end users to contact me wanting to know what to do.
All I want my AV solution to do is a) block viri b) update itself without being told to c) keep off the screen Avast was pretty good with a, not at all with b, and terrible with c....although your mileage may vary. And yes, I even bought 10 Avast licenses for one client and they still had pop ups on the screen down by the system tray. I am soooo tired of answering "What was that blue box there for down by the clock this morning when I turned on my monitor?" MSE, is excellent on all three points...it JUST WORKS and I don't have to deal with it. I think you might be thinking about the Microsoft Defender which was installed by default since XP (I think). MSE automatically disables Defender when MSE is installed. Defender reminded me of a half-blind 2-legged dog...
