After taking CNET’s recommendation, I installed Avira’s anti-virus package. Now, after having the program pop-up ads (that beg me to buy the full version) crash other programs several times, I’m uninstalling the software. This little annoyance isn’t just a small design flaw, it’s a critical mistake on the part of Avira. Why? Because their freebie has now alienated me from their product rather than enticing me to buy it—it’s probably going to be impossible for them to convince me to reinstall.
Additionally, I’m also a bit soured on CNET reviews after this, but I understand if the reviewer didn’t have the software installed long enough to see how bad the ads are.
