They did not necessarily lie, they back upped things THEY thought were important, they had no idea you enjoyed playing online lego games and needed all the 302905 add ons you had

its alot to reinstall, with my must have programs and games.
but its a clean feeling you just cant upkeep day to day.

I have OCD and I'd be afraid of losing something.
It doesn't help that I actually did lose a lot of work when I did reformat.

Yeah, load up your computer with a bunch of AVs, and then imply you have common sense.
Best idea ever.

You only get viruses if you are stupid.

Some do seem to jump at me out of nowhere, or even innocent looking sites. But these kinds of things sneak past AV anyways, and are easy for me to get rid of.
I'd rather not waste money on something that hogs memory and doesn't do it's job in the end.
Plasmus:
didn't avast sound a siren and go "A VIRUS HAS BEEN DETECTED ON YOUR COMPUTER" in a really loud robotic voice?
Chrono:
Yes.
Someone also ported them as songs or sounds or something into Blockland.
Correction: "Caution! A virus has been detected!"

You're kinda right :s
Also, yes I thought that it was a bad idea too, Kalph. Why couldn't they have just done something that zapped bad things off your comp. We can send people to the moon, why can't we do this?
