Avast is a popular antivirus and security software application, which is available for a number of platforms, including Windows, Mac, Android, iOS, and Linux. While the software is generally considered to be safe, there have been a number of reports over the years of users experiencing issues with the app.

Some of these issues have involved the app being malware-ridden, resulting in users having to delete it and install a new version. Others have involved the app behaving unexpectedly, such as causing their computer to shut down.

Overall, though, the app appears to be safe and generally reliable. However, as with any software, it is always best to keep up-to-date with the latest security patches, and to use caution when installing or using any app.
