[QUOTE="CyberDevil, post: 1002761, member: 91290"] Why do you guys think so badly of Avast? Yes, they were trading data, but as I remember, the data was anonymized. Also, they apologized and officially stopped the practice. Also now somehow they are owned by Norton and I think we can be oriented to the standards of the last one, and it never seems to have been caught trading or using their customers' data in any way? Speaking of protection, Avast performs very well in amateur and official tests, and its hardened mode is a great solution for old parents and all family members who don't follow the security rules at all. I've also used Avast's VPN and now use a paid subscription to their browser with a built-in VPN - I really like it, no complaints. One thing I agree with is that they have a lot of stability issues with various additional utilities. The driver update program constantly required a reboot. About the antitracker, there were cases that people wrote that it slows down the Internet. The problems are really frequent there, but I'm not too regular Avast user to remember all the cases. :) [/QUOTE]
