EagleCraft Construction Company (ID: 00000081b4e85437) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 04/20/2021 Hello there support team of the Adaware Software! I really liked the app but then I started disliking it as it started to alert websites like Gmail and Google Classroom that I use. The Avast Online Security extension tells that these websites are secure, it all of a sudden alerts legitimate websites.
