[QUOTE="Captain Holly, post: 991459, member: 90494"] Wow...I never knew or even suspected this about Avast. I knew they got caught a couple years ago selling customer data but thought they had since cleaned up their act. I used to think Avast was ok and were on the path of making AV software to try to help people. Their free Avast One for Android is actually a decent app but I stopped using it. I use the free Lookout app instead and it works fine, as does the free Bitdefender Android AV. I stopped with Avast a while back because I just felt something was off with them, they have all these "free" programs but they had to be collecting and/or selling something. No company just gives everything away for free without some form of profit or getting something else in return. I never could really find out what Avast was up to and have not used any of their stuff lately and do not plan to go back. Of all the AV vendors available now, I think Bitdefender is the most ethical. At least I have not heard of anything shady from BD. C.H. [/QUOTE]
