"USED TO BE GREAT NOT ANY MORE"
Version: Avast Internet Security 2014 2014.9.0.2016
Pros
Has a good Firewall Monitor, Allows Connection Tracing.
Cons
Never Caught an infection on my windows seven machine. They were found by Malware Bytes instead. Allows UN wanted connections to Servers that Watch what you are doing in Washington D.C. and unwarranted Connections to Google Servers with no Google software or Updaters installed. Now comes with a Shopper Tracking Spyware Watching and collecting your online activity offering unwanted POP UPS to buy what your buying from say Walmart site from a different Suggested unknown web site.
Summary
I paid for a year in 2013 and the further up dates got worse and worse. Allowed me to be spied on by govt fusion centers.Regularly Nagged me for more money for unneeded Grime Fighter.Allowed unwanted connections. Allowed repeated infections without indication of same. Caused me to wipe hard drive and reinstall windows several times for a clean system. When I uninstalled product it completely broke the native Windows Firewall preventing it's use. Something is going wrong with Avast, STAY AWAY.

"Just Re-New'ed My 2013 Fee Avast to Fee 2014"
Version: Avast Internet Security 2014 2014.9.0.2016
Pros
One hour ago I was, "Very Happy" prior to renewing my contract with Avast...
Cons
Now that I have re-new'ed my contract for another year, less than an hour ago, I feel like my computer has just slowed down (every) process, and I mean every process, from initializing on start-up, to... and including every single key stroke, function, online navigation, download, upload, email function, video viewing (regardless of media player), to powering down my complete system...
Summary
In summary; I have been a subscriber of the (free)Avast Internet Security product since my Computer Technician recommended I install it in 2008, and may I add, a very happy subscriber. Last year Avast gave me an ultimatum to either buy the new 2013 Version, or the Free Version would become deactivated and no longer available. As a pleased customer (free-loader) for a number of years, my morals were tested here, and I anti'ed up. Once again, the 2013(FEE) product was every-bit as transparent as the (FREE)product and I slept better too...
Update 03.26.14 Well, I contacted Avast and asked why my system was so slow as of the addition of Avast 2014 Internet Security download. They did a remote access and highly suggested I uninstall, "Super-Anti-Spyware" and "Malware-Bytes" as they said they were conflicting with the Avast suite.
Until an hour ago, when I renewed my 2013 Version to 2014 Avast Internet Security License Agreement.
I must add, that I read the above review by (m0eb1us)prior to renewing my subscription with Avast today. And informed Avast Customer Service on the telephone of (exactly) what the review stated, and made them promise me, that if the same symptoms occurred on my system, that a "FULL REFUND" would be expected, because this above grade of functionality was completely un-acceptable. It took several attempts before the agent would repeat my words, but he did! I gave him my money, and here I am writing this much less than respectable review.
At this point I am in a salvage mode, and not ready to give up the ship. Nor am I prepared to pay one more cent to Avast, to rectify what was a non existent issue before upgrading from 2013 to the 2014 product version release.
If Avast has adopted the same policy that so many (scam vendors) are offering to sell another $175.00-$375.00 service agreement like (you know who) then they have just lost my business as a 6 year cultivated client, in 60 seconds.
This review will be continued, you can guarantee that fact, sooner. rather than, later. It is 11:30PST and I am going to bed. Tomorrow is another day to do battle in the trenches of often slippery world of Internet Security.
I honestly hope this story has a happy ending!
To Be Continued...
Sincerely
CP
Updated on Mar 26, 2014
So, I un-installed both of them, and there is definitely a noticeable difference in the speed of my system now, but what about the protection from spyware and/or adware...
Still confused at this point. Any suggestions would be appreciated. -
"Used to be nice. Not anymore."
Version: Avast Internet Security 2014 2014.9.0.2016
Pros
Used to be a nice, unobtrusive, light-weight anti-virus software.
Cons
Since the last update, any streamed Shockwave content (meaning - among others - every single video on Youtube!) will crash after a few seconds as long as I have Avast! enabled. Also, all of my downloads will stall at 99% and then become corrupted - even the ones from trusted sources (Cnet and such). Turning Avast! off will fix these issues, while leaving it on will make it completely impossible for me to use any of my browsers (tried it with Firefox, Chrome, and Opera too). No special settings help (I've tried everything!), only completely disabling web protection. I had to uninstall Avast! to be able to use the internet as intended.
Summary
Good job with the latest update, turned my browsers completely unstable.
