Głośno na forach, bo jest i powód...niechlubny zresztą i pewnie znacznie obniżający markę Aviry. Jak donoszą różne źródła, Avira weszła we współpracę z firmami...uwaga... Uniblue i Ask Toolbar . Obydwaj nowi partnerzy Aviry to firmy o powiedzmy "dziwnej" reputacji, wsławione głównie instalowaniem niechcianych dodatków lub oprogramowanie typu scarware.
"Avira Partners with Scareware and Sleazeware Vendors
Avira has partnered with Uniblue and ASK toolbar. We are hoping this terrible thing will be reversed. There are a number of threads in Avira forums about it and, even though we tried to keep it contained in Avira forums until we know if Avira will reverse their partnerships, some security related forums are already advising their members to ditch Avira. Avira has been sending emails to users of their PAID products urging them to install Registry Booster from Uniblue. They have also again started up the Notifier Ads (which had been abandoned for Avira 10 a few months ago) for the free product so they can badger users to install Registry Booster and other UniBlue products. Both the emails and the Notifier ads state that Avira''s new partners are Uniblue and ASK.com.
As for ASK toolbar, when Service Pack 2 for Avira 10 is released (very soon now) free users will be able to install the Webguard module free IF they also install ASK toolbar and make ASK.com their default search engine. Until now, Avira has always detected ASK toolbar as malware as they have also detected Uniblue products until now. Enough pressure has been brought on Avira last week that an Avira employee finally posted and stated that if we didn''t lke Uniblue products we could uninstall them (forget that the registry cleaner has probably hosed your computer and is extremely difficult to uninstall) and that Uniblue has a 30 day money back guarantee. The Admin who posted this seemed to not have a grasp regarding the enormity of what Avira has done. He did say that Avira was discussing the problems recently reported by users with Uniblue products they installed at Avira''s urging and that no decision regarding possibly reversing the partnerships had been made as of his post last Thursday night but the possibility was still on the table."
