Best Buy's "optimization" services are a joke...

However my rant was primarily aimed at the point that they don't really seem to do anything, and will happily charge you $80 just to install something like Adobe. It's utter robbery when you can find someone under the age of 30 who knows exactly what to do and can do most of their "services" for you.

Hell, I work for a case of beer most of the time.

All very true. Add to the fact that the real reason this came to light was that the 'optimization' was no longer optional but required and boo BB.


That said I used to love Avast and agree with you. But for family I long ago stopped recommending it and just buy enough keys to another popular security suite that is much better. I got tired of still finding **** because they don't have your knowledge on where not to go on the net.
