Which is more worth it, the monthly fees like $1-2 a month, or the yearly one, like the bundle ? Anyone done the math ?

Avast looks pretty useful, but won't it conflict with my McAfee AV-suite or my Adblocker ?

I believe that this add-on harbours adware. When I used it flashtalking.com kept trying to aquire data from me even after I had blocked access to that domain locally. This indicated to me that the Avast add-on was trying to contact that advertiser, repeatedly, from within my browser so I removed it. Since it has been removed I never saw any activity viz., flashtalking.com again. You do the math.

Beware of deciding you no longer need Avast, they transform into a bigger nuisance than any ad! Certainly did for me! -

After using this addon for a few months, I am uninstalling it. Here's why:
- The extension does not add the "green shield symbol" next to page names when you do a Google search, unlike Chrome or Firefox, which do.
- The extension blocks Disqus functionality on any page you visit unless you disable it for no apparent reason.
- Apparently, this extension is a replica of the original and would not be made by the real Avast. You can see this in this forum thread in the Opera's Forum: https://forums.opera.com/topic/52869/solved-disqus-doesn-t-work-any-site/7
(although I don't think it's really a fake extension, considering that the official Avast page promotes its extension and it says that is available for Opera)
// Some clarifications:
- This extension did not give me any performance issues or overheating of my PC.
- This extension never showed me any sign of having adware built in (maybe because I have custom filters in Adblock Plus, so the adware might have tried to work without success)
- If you want to download this addon in Opera GX, try doing it from the official Avast page following the route: Privacy > Online Security & Privacy > add to Opera for free. Here's the URL of the main page of Avast: https://www.avast.com/index#pc.
