Hi Friends I am using avast! Free Antivirus to protect

If Avast is doing this kind of spam, it might be time to
switch to something else.

I'm pretty sure Avast! hasn't hired some guy named Selvam to post junk via
Google groups. What it is that Selvam links to, I have no idea and am not
about to find out.


As far as I can tell, the link is valid. It took my iPad directly to the
Avast download site. At least it looks and acts like the Avast download
site. I can't actually download the software to an iPad, but all the other
Avast links on the site work fine.

I posted a question/concern about Avast spamming usenet (there's at least 2
other groups that got that same post) in the Avast users forum. Let's see
what they say.
