Hey there Grinler, thanks for the post / update.

Did want to make mention of something I thought of (and was concerned about) and that was addressed in the Comments following the blog post, which was

Is an Avast support forum account something you have to create separately from the account you set up with avast (the one to register the free version of the software)?

So if I’ve set up an Avast account to register Avast free, that information would NOT have been copied to the support forum account DB to set up an account there?

to which someone answered:

Yes, the (hacked) forum was completely separated from any other avast! account and if you used different passwords (or never registered at forum.avast.com), you are safe.

Thought I should let people know - the email account that you used to activate your Avast! AV is safe, if you did not use it to register at the Avast Forums.
