A guy at work couldn't print using our network printer. A quick look at his computer pointed out the problem: the Avast premium hyper super mega security suite, which was not obeying the rules I had set up to allow communication to the device. I solved the problem but the funny part is that the Avast package didn't stop a malware from infecting his computer and I have to deal with this tomorrow.

@alejandrobdn I always said this and I'll will continue until my last breath:Printers are more vicious than any malware could ever be. Especially network printers. My eternal adversary.Finally I know Avast shares my thoughts. So shut up and take my money! Let's get this AV installed here! 😂😂

@alejandrobdn Antivirus is snake oil. In the best case it just steals performance while preventing dumb people from opening dubious attachments.

@alejandrobdn Avast has gone downhill lately. It was one of the best. I personally like Trend Micro but who knows how much that costs.
