Avira Antivirus
The problem with this software is you can not have full control of it. It is going to do updates whether you want them or not. I like to do my updates manually after I connect to the internet and start up my VPN service and depending on what I am doing. But I can not, it connects immediately without my permission before my VPN can load! It is going to update itself no matter how you change the settings when it wants to! Nothing pisses me off more than going after a cup of coffee and coming back to the computer to find that the program has gone out on the internet without my permission, that is flaw number one. Number two is the temporary files and related files takes up WAY to much space on the hard drive and because those files are always in use you can not delete them. Every time they come out with a new version I cringe. It's all produced for idiots who have to have everything done for them on automatic. It USED TO BE an excellent program, about five years ago, now it's all automatic and I can not find any way to write directly to them either, have to leave this review instead.
