Hi,
As I have already expressed several times, I have classified Avast as a "Rogue" (a fake security software).
Because of its too many false positives (I remember that one day it deleted more than 80 programs I had written, and without asking for confirmation).
Due to repeated absences of responses when false positives are reported.
Because of the considerable slowdowns it causes, and the enormous resources of the machine consumed unnecessarily.
Because of its intrusive replays to buy or renew the subscription.
Due to nasty default add signature in mails and newsgroups.
I no longer count the problems it caused in users: accounting that was no longer working; Pay blocked; Sharing services unintentionally disabled; Missing Function of software; Partially destroyed database servers, and so on.
Since it causes more problems than it brings a solution, one can estimate that it is a malware.
