    Why is this company allowed to exist anymore is my question. If it just openly lies to its customers it should be sued into destitution.

      Yep. Nationalize that sucker for just long enough to sell every asset, IP and piece of real estate, and turn over the money to those harmed by the crime.

      There’s zero excuse for allowing Avast to continue to exist after what amounts to intentional wide scale fraud.

      Edit: To be clear, I’m not advocating for an approach outside of current laws, I’m saying we need to fix the laws and tackle the next one of these correctly.

      CEOs and shareholders can get on board, because they also want a peaceful no-heads-lopped-off resolution to this kind of crap, too. Everyone can still win, here.

      It’s literally a crime organization. Shut them down completely! This shouldn’t be a matter of making a couple lawyers rich and letting them continue.
