I remember when SourceForge were the good guys. That should be a cautionary tale for many companies but they got dropped so hard and fast that now no one has heard of them.

I remember leaving my computer on overnight in my room and being startled awake by a really loud pig squeal when Avast detected a virus on my PC.

Just looked up what Avast looked like in the 2000's. The aftermarket car stereo GUI[1] just brought back memories I forgot about :P

I miss old Avast, the brushed metal UI, the radioactive virus dialogs with the siren sound (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ycs92N_rph8).

Norton and McAfee were the bogeymen those days.
