It looks like I being given (not offered - I was given no choice) the SafeZone browser - filename was "ais_cmp_sfzone-7e1.vpx". In fact, I noted yesterday that my Internet connection was solid BUSY.

Since I am on dial-up (I know - stop laughing! ), it takes quite a while to download some things. I hope that this doesn't mean that I will not continue to get a/v microdefs and updates because it can't get past the SafeZone download. I found the name of the file that it was trying to download in the Setup folder and then just added that filename in the "site blocking" list. The only way I can get a usable Internet connection is by, ironically, using Avast. I watched it this evening and it got about 14MB into the download before resetting and starting again at byte zero. Alas, their server appears to timeout after exactly 60 minutes and then RETRIES the same download. Well, all you folk you have it installed OK maybe should consider yourself "lucky"! Since I am on dial-up (I know - stop laughing! ), it takes quite a while to download some things. Because a browser, unlike other premium features you could've offered for free(firewall etc) is a very personal tool.ĥ: Anyway, I will still continue using avast for now because I at least have the option to remove the browser afterwards and it does not seem like the core product, the av, got changed. I have no proof for this, just saying that I hope that this browser is not the first step in this. And no, I do not believe in "specifically selected, trustworthy, i-swear-they-will-never-do-anything-bad" third parties. But still, it's annoying.Ĥ: I do hope however that this product of yours is not another company's attempt to gather information about us, our interest so that it might be used for advertising.

I do not have the right to complain in a sense since 1: this might be covered in the eula(although this is most likely still illegal in my country, regardless of what the eula claims) and 2: this is a free program.

And of course with opt-in a lot of regular user would still have chosen not to install it.ģ: Regardless of what it says in the EULA, I do not consider this an ethical move from a security business. But the regular user, they will not want to go through the trouble of uninstalling this part of the antivirus(probably also afraid they are actually uninstalling their entire browser). People who complain on this forum will delete the new browser themselves, they have the interest to delete it, the knowledge and are motivated to do it. And that is because opt-in will get you a lot less installations than opt-out. I know why you did it silently and act surprised that people are 'offended'. So most people are upset because their trust(protecting) got violated by doing something we actively search protection against.Ģ: You know people would react like that, or you should've known, being a security company especially. And what comes to mind when I think of programs secretly installing, it's viruses, worms, cryptoware software, ads, basically a whole host of bad things that I try to use my common sense + stuff like avast antivirus to protect myself against. To sum it up, I find it unpleasant because:ġ: You install secretly, no mention, no prompt, but without my knowledge or consent.
