Me and a few buddies are going to install the offline version that still has the spam filter to and attempt to find anything of relevance, then try to manually install/add the vpx to the latest version.īetween the spam blocker being gone and the horrendous way that Avast is manipulating beginner and novice PC users by giving them a "free version" of the cleenup program and then charging $30 to $50 for the equivalent of a free version of CCleaner, their practices have been losing a lot of favor in the IT community. If that was the case they would not have made the feature and continued to update it in the first place. And it's a huge cop out to say that mail servers block spam for its users. As bad as it is, it still catching somethings.

I have many client's that relied on that tool and now that it is gone their inbox is flooded with spam because the add-in is gone and it disables Outlooks spam filter. For a major AV company to remove an important feature like that seems a little odd. I think the whole "We removed it to focus on other stuff" line is BS. I don't understand.Why remove it? If people don't like it they could just disable it.
