Clearly, Avast hasn't put Ben on ignore yet.“It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles. If you see through everything, then everything is transparent. But a wholly transparent world is an invisible world. To 'see through' all things is the same as not to see.”

You're late to the party Albie. Also, it's been resolved already , so go update.

Avast and AVG are the biggest piece of **** antivirus/malware vendors.
I'm engaged in a pretty vicious debate with them because they believe websockets (a fundamental "Web 2.0" technology) are unsafe so they block them wholesale. This breaks tons of **** in the software I write.
We're about two weeks away from sending an email to almost every school district in the western world that they cannot use AVG and Avast and use our software at the same time, as those vendors show no interest in cooperating."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

Interesting how the Asher solution to programming is to make everyone else change to fit him.We're about two weeks away from sending an email to almost every school district in the western world that they cannot use AVG and Avast and use our software at the same time, as those vendors show no interest in cooperating.Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.

Not everyone else, just the incompetent vendors who can't be bothered to implement effective software. Every vendor in the world except AVG and Avast get this right. Incidentally, AVG and Avast have something like 95% of their users paying nothing - so I guess they get what they pay for.
Their solution of blocking websockets is akin to shutting down roads to prevent car theft. It's ridiculous. It prevents legitimate software from functioning."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

Why am I unsurprised that you market spyware for school use?
All the more reason for them not to cater to insecure software developers. Imagine this. Spyware developer complains to antivirus to get delisted from the scans. You're saying the antivirus should accommodate them? That defeats the entire purpose of their software.Every vendor in the world except AVG and Avast get this right. Incidentally, AVG and Avast have something like 95% of their users paying nothing - so I guess they get what they pay for.
Perhaps the solution would be to accommodate your users by redesigning the software? Just a thought here. If I knew that your software didn't work for my students and caused them issues, what's the chance of me (or my school), signing on with you? Zero.Their solution of blocking websockets is akin to shutting down roads to prevent car theft. It's ridiculous. It prevents legitimate software from functioning.
Just a thought that telling your clients that they need to accommodate you by changing what they do, isn't going to fly very well in the educational field.Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.

You're an idiot.
The irony of this whole situation is, as nye says, AVG is the actual spyware. All we're trying to do is educate children."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."
