[QUOTE="artek, post: 1033485, member: 22897"] As much as I agree that Avast is basically spyware, most of the web scanning implemented by AV products tick the same box for me. Especially when they MITM your https connections. Even Trend's product can be configured to analyze every url and even scan (and potentially forward) emails from browser-based webmail (and they're not the only product that does these things). Are we really sure other security companies aren't doing exactly the same thing? We're basically letting them scan every url we ever visit... [/QUOTE]
