Over the past couple of days Avast has been warning me about a malicous attack. It shows as wpad.dat and the service is svchost.exe. When you click on the link it takes you to the purchase page at Avast and it is pushing me to purchase the full version. When I run a full scan with Avast, nothing comes up and when I review the logs it show no alerts. I don't mind paying for a good product...but when a product claims to offer a free version and then hits you with false alarms to try to scare you into buying their product I think that is pretty low. I'll be switching away from Avast as soon as I can find the time to research a new solution. If this were a valid threat the link that comes up should take me to a page that defines the problem and offers a solution...then I would be open to paying money...I'm just feeling scammed at this point.
