Today is of course the international Talk Like A Pirate Day. In honor of this, Avast Antivirus has created a new language option for their application. Yes, you can now switch your copy of Avast over to the Pirate Talk language setting. It'll change both the text of the interface and the voice samples.
I noticed this when my girlfriend's copy of Avast updated a few minutes ago, and the text in the update message mentioned it. It didn't happen when my own did it an hour ago, so I assume it just went into effect. I thought this move by an otherwise serious company was hilarious, and just had to share. Needless to say, my copy of Avast now talks like a pirate :-D
