Anyone heard of Avast Remediation.exe?

I've never advocated installing AGV, Avast, avira or any of that other crapAlso, I jumped from AVG to Avast a while back and now it seems Avast isn't in favour. Is this a constant thing - jumping from one protection to the other after a year or so?

Built in windows defender works just as well - doesn't have all that flashy bloaty rubbish - doesn't slow down your machine . It just does its job .
If you absolutely cant trust yourself not to click on anything untoward then I would say bitdefender is your best bet.
And the reason people keep advising Malwarebytes and adw cleaner is because they work brilliantly and often rescue machines that are crippled with viruses and malware whilst having one of the above "AV solutions" installed regardless0 -

You are talking differences of tenths of a percantage point in overall score ..
And Microsoft will be the only ones NOT putting money in the pockets of these "AV comparison" companies
I can only go off real world personal experience (not clean lab machines) of seeing many many machines with various AVG etc processes taking over 80%CPU full time whilst doing nothing0 -

Not so.
AV-Comparatives charge all manufacturers the same fee in order for their product to be tested, so none of them can be advantaged or disadvantaged.
Wrong
From their own website :
" In several cases it happens that a vendor is tested even if it do not apply for it. In this case, the costs will be covered either by the magazines or by other independent parties, which requested the results."
Look, you can believe this guff if you want to, and bicker about 0.1% detection rates.
However i am not affiliated with any AV and can speak from long and full personal experience0
