In short, apart from the fine print in the license agreement, Avast is indistinguishable from malware, and is arguably worse than any known malware now in circulation.īack up all data, then remove Avast according to the developer's instructions.
Some versions of the product also inject advertising into web pages. Removing it may not repair all the damage. Not only does it fail to protect you from any real danger, it may send personal data (such as web browsing history and the contents of email messages) back to the developer without your knowledge, give false warnings, destabilize and slow down the computer, expose you to network attack, and corrupt the network settings and the permissions of files in your home folder.

All three have some version of "unable to connect to the proxy server" I have an older MacBook that I've kept updating for oh … about 8 years now and starting Wednesday of this week it has not been able to connect to the internet on any browers (Firefox, Safari, Chrome). I haven't been able to find anything about how to fix this online–and only a few things here and there on what it might be:
