[QUOTE="Ink, post: 933326, member: 3"] Read my post again. It was a few years and as an example as to why you should not allow software to install extensions in the browser, or be forced to a recommendation of the vendor. It's the same story with HTTPS scanning. It's infiltration and invasion of privacy. A few years ago, Avast silently installed SecureLine VPN without authorisation during a program update. These tactics are not uncommon to gain marketshare and scrape user data for the profit. Stop sticking up to these companies, they don't give 2 cents about you. [/QUOTE]
