I, like many other Avast users noticed today that Avast seem to have installed their safezone browser without any notification to the end user. It literally just appeared. What's more annoying than this intrusion is that on the avast free forum the owners dont even seem to realise the seriousness of what they have done. A program designed to stop malware sneakily appearing on our computers have used a similar tactic themselves to sneakily install this 'addon'.
Apparently the addon is usually part of the premium version and they selected a few random avast users to try it out in the free version.
I think the complaints are by the way they have gone about it. I don't think it was the best way for them to do this, especially as they say the whole point of extending it to free users was to gauge feedback. I think they have tainted the feedback by their own actions.
