Original review: Dec. 4, 2018 I liked Avast Anti-virus so much I decided it might be worth paying for. I signed up and after the first year reduced fee decided it was too much for my budget to pay $59.99. So I canceled my subscription and stopped Auto-renew payments. I thought that was the end of it but no for the past 2 years I have been charged $59.99 for nothing. I have no active license, I am only paying for the privilege of trying to contact Avast, which if you aren't looking for technical support, is actually impossible. Think twice before using this service, it really is daylight robbery! ![]() Original review: Dec. 3, 2018 Avast appears to be perpetrating a scam on people that fall for their 'free trial' of Premium Cleanup. I downloaded the product yesterday, ran a scan, and followed their instructions for improving my functionality. Upon completing the steps I found that Microsoft Office was no longer available to me. After calling and speaking to technical support, it was explained that they could restore my computer by paying a fee to have a technician fix the problem. I complained and they offered a discounted rate of $79. ![]() What am I going to do – shop around? No, I had them fix it, and kept telling them how unfair it was that their product caused the problem, and yet I had I had to pay them. One technician claimed it was due to Microsoft Update. I called BS on that, and they were unfailingly polite – well trained in taking your money and not admitting it was their problem. This is unethical behavior, and all the technicians appear to be well-versed in customer service tricks to try to make the consumer feel good while spending money unnecessarily. I asked for a refund of my technical fee, and they thanked me for patience. In other words, no. Original review: Dec. 3, 2018 So, I was using Avast for about 2 years before I had an incident where they were like, 'Oh! You have been using our product for more than 2 years, we recommend you upgrade, here's a free trial.' Never pay for an antivirus. I clicked on the free trial and before I knew it, I received multiple payments under my account for: $65.00, $85.00, and another payment of $85.00. All of these payments were refunded, until I got another payment, of $85.00. Keep in mind, after receiving the first payment, they said that I had enabled 'Automatic Renewal', which I disabled, because I was extremely pissed off that I had been charged 4 times in total, so I was pretty fricking angry. I'd recommend Malwarebytes, easy to use, comes with a paid version, don't pay for it. Unlike Avast, MB only has 1 service to offer, which is the main antivirus, which for some people they will enjoy the capabilities of a more simple software. Avast unlike many other AV software I have tested, has successfully managed to isolate viruses and malware even in archived files surprisingly. Another astonishing feature with Avast subsequently missing from vast majority of other AV programs is customisation in the installer letting you decide exactly what you want included and what you want excluded. Avast AV also gives you good control of settings, all the annoying features can be easily turned off, Avast has always had a good interface which really helps navigating through the various advanced features.

There is no doubt that cracker's always tend to be one step ahead of software creators, no matter how tough the software protection is they always come up with a method to bypass it sooner or later, But, Adobe seems to be very unlucky with their CS4 product release, first it was the and now got cracked and keygened within three days of its initial release, massive sized trial version of Adobe CS4 suite with crack patches made their way on torrent portals and file-sharing websites within days after release. Makes use of a license activation system to make Keygens and shared serial-number obsolete by blacklisting them via a central activation server, Surprisingly, smart crackers defeated the whole CS4 activation system using a simple trick, blocking access to the activation server using. After generating the key using the keygen, users simply need to block access to Adobe Activation servers using their firewalls or, effectively disabling the CS4 licensing system from verifying the registration serial-key.

If people on this website do not appreciate your product, I do. You guyz at Adobe did a wonderful job. I am trying to design my website when I came across your trial product, and I fell in love with it, right away. However, I would still support the hacking, though not cracking, of any private software because they are too expensive. People like me are really poor and would consider the hacking of your product to be a honor and an advantage. So, good job. Try to learn from the holes found and make it stronger, and I hope that hackers would at the same time be able to hack those products next time (to make it more fun =D. I know that I am a person who also has to search everywhere to find programs to use because of the prices on the shelves and so forth and can understand when another uses the same tecniques I do to obtain the software and that it is wrong of us to do so, given the regard that not all people have the funds to buy said products. But I do agree with you, Adobe's software is one of the leading software brands in designing and development of graphics and so forth and I give them a 10/10 for that. I enjoy creating and designing things such as websites and so forth and Adobe has done an excellent job in creating such software. 1 000 000 thumbs up to Adobe!!!! I found and downloaded/installed the CS3 Master Collection and the install worked flawlessly! The file included a text file with several serials that I put in at the start of install.

I always check my task manager and kill the FNPlicensingservice when it pops up (usually at initial start up and every time I run one of the Adobe programs) and I never use any of the programs while I am online - always disable the internet every time I use any of them, just in case. Would you bother? Posco2k8 wrote on July 27, 2009: I’ve taken in my white 13” MacBook to replace the cracking plastic around the keyboard. They did it right there in an hour and never powered it on. So, I am also surprised that they asked for your admin password. It would be really bad in my situation too. They would have access to my GPG private key. Also, all the private RSA keys I use for SSH (and a list of the SSH servers I visit in my config files). Those are all pass phrase protected as well, but it is still an unsettling thought. I think you have a good solution. I would probably be paranoid enough to just copy my hard drive to an external and then just wipe the drive as well as possible with dd or something and then reinstall OS X. Apple should be making some sort of effort to guarantee that your data is safe. Or, they should remove your hard drive from the unit, hand it to you, and just use a test one during the repair process. That would be the best solution for everyone. If it was a software issue, they should attempt to troubleshoot it with you present.

I told the nice woman at Apple support that there will be no password on the machine because I will be doing a clean install before sending it out. I know they need the pasword to get into the machine, but access to my keychain & personal documents? I’ll be formatting my white MacBook as well, when I send it in to have the bottom case repaired (it’s one of the ones with the defective plastic casing). Bill wrote on July 28, 2009: This is just common sense. Before you hand your computer over to [company] you make a disk image. You create an admin account as a courtesy to the technician who will work on the machine. If you have sensitive data (keychain, pgp keys, naked pictures of your SO) that you don’t want to take the chance of someone else seeing, you wipe your account. When you get your machine back, you can restore the image and know that you’ll be in the same state as when you started. Don’t point any fingers at Apple on this one. Alan wrote on July 28, 2009: Apple is telling you they need access to an administrator account to correctly perform your repair. You chose to provide them with an administrator account that also contains your personal information in it. There’s no requirement to do so. Just fill out our screen repair form and let us know the serial number and the problem with your computer and we can send you a link to the correct service and let you know the pricing. Our form even lets you attach a photo of the issue! Apple will be just as happy to use an administrator account that has no personal information in it. Furthermore, they’re just as happy to work on a machine that has no personal data on it at all. You could have backed it up, and wiped your data before bringing it in. Comparing Apple’s legitimate business need for an administrator password on a machine to a shady phishing attempt is quite a stretch. I think you may be feeling a bit unhappy with yourself in that you gave out sensitive information without questioning it, but pointing the blame towards Apple is unfair. ![]() ![]() The Genius you worked with is a professional and also a human, and would understand and happily assist you in making sure you’re comfortable with what information you’re giving up, wether that be by making a second administrator account or removing sensitive data prior to checkin. All you had to do is speak up and I’m sure someone would have listened. Mike Piontek wrote on July 28, 2009: I’m aware of what I could and should have done.

Share this story • • • Parallels and VMware both announced new versions of their virtualization products for Macs today, with performance improvements and optimizations for the upcoming releases of MacOS and Windows. VMware is also releasing a new version of Workstation, its desktop virtualization software for Windows and Linux PCs. Parallels Desktop 13 for Mac will be. Although VMware 10 for Mac and 14 for Windows and Linux are being announced today, the VMware upgrades will be available for sale sometime in October. Parallels stuck to its yearly paid upgrade schedule, while VMware released to Fusion and Workstation. This year, both companies are asking customers to pay for upgrades. Jul 22, 2008 MacBook: Does partitioning btwn Windows & Mac cause latency? Boot Camp vs. Parallels I have been a Windows user for a long time, and it never gave me much trouble, but am going for a mac because my Dell laptop will no longer turn on. Virtualization — Parallels Desktop 14 is available now for Mac, and it includes Mojave support Better graphics performance and reduced storage footprint are also key features. Parallels Desktop and VMware Fusion are both adding support for the new MacBook Pro's Touch Bar, though Parallels' Touch Bar implementation is more extensive. Both companies said the new releases will be more user-friendly while adding power features for IT pros and developers. Fusion has friendlier pricing for multiple Macs For people who need to run Windows or Linux on more than one Mac, the VMware pricing is better. A Parallels Desktop 13 license for one Mac costs $79.99 as a one-time purchase. That gets you the entry-level edition; Parallels' professional edition with extra features is licensed as a subscription costing $99.99 a year for each Mac. Customers upgrading from version 11 or 12 can get a perpetual license for a one-time charge of $49.99 or the subscription for $49.99 a year. VMware Fusion licenses are more budget-friendly to people with multiple Macs. One perpetual license for the standard version of VMware Fusion is good for all the Macs you own, while a Fusion Pro license works on three Macs. A standard VMware Fusion 10 license costs $79.99, or $49.99 if you're upgrading from Fusion 7, 8, or 8.5 (there was no version 9). A Fusion 10 Pro license costs $159.99, or $119.99 for upgraders. Unlike Fusion, Workstation is licensed by device, so you need to buy one license for each Windows or Linux computer you install it on. Each Workstation license also costs more than a Fusion license—although there is still one totally free option. A Workstation 14 Pro license will cost $249.99, or $149.99 if you're upgrading from version 11 or 12 (yes, they skipped version 13). Workstation 14 Player, the stripped-down version, will cost $149.99, or $79.99 for those upgrading from a recent version. While Player doesn't have all the advanced Workstation features, it does let companies provide restricted virtual machines that comply with company policies to employees. Workstation Player only has to be paid for in commercial environments. ![]() So while a business that wants Player for its employees must purchase licenses, Player is free for personal use for those of you using it at home. New Parallels features. Further Reading In Word, for example, the Touch Bar will display formatting options such as bolding, italics, underlining, font sizes, and text alignment. Standard function keys and a few other options will be available in the Touch Bar for other Windows applications. 'Additionally, when you are using the Windows Start Menu or Desktop, Parallels Desktop 13 features Taskbar pinned elements, along with Cortana, Task View and settings in the Touch Bar,' Parallels' announcement said. Parallels also developed a new Picture-in-Picture (PiP) view that displays an active virtual machine in a small window that is always visible on top of other applications. It's supposed to be a convenient way to keep track of what's going on in a guest operating system while you're doing other stuff on your Mac. Parallels is also adding support for Microsoft's People Bar, an upcoming Windows 10 feature. This integration makes it possible for Mac users to pin a contact to the Dock and click that dock icon to send the person an e-mail or start a Skype call. Parallels said the new Pro edition will come with these features: • Assign up to 32 cores (vCPU) and 128GB of vRAM per VM, so upcoming iMac Pro users can create super powerful VMs. • View Set Resolution menu to immediately switch resolutions for podcast, video tutorial or Web browser testing—including common 4:3, 16:9 and 16:10 ratios with resolutions from 1024x768 to 3360x2300.
