[QUOTE="MacDefender, post: 895429, member: 83059"] [URL unfurl="true"]https://malwaretips.com/threads/kaspersky-and-cloud-privacy.100547/[/URL] We talked about this subject at length in the past, lots of good information there. In general, F-Secure and ESET are known to be more privacy friendly, though today we live in this dilemma where the cloud hybrid AVs are by far the best performing, but they all have similar privacy implications. The ones that have less privacy implications are the ones where you have to accept a manufacturer’s promise regarding how their black box cloud service works, and IMO if you really cared about privacy, you wouldn’t accept the whole “you are submitting a fingerprint of binaries from your IP address but I promise to anonymize your IP when our employees analyze the submission” statement. The only part you can control is whether or not what you submitted is anonymous. You don’t get any insight/control over the latter part, it’s purely based on trust. [/QUOTE]
