[QUOTE="Kermit80, post: 894057, member: 86690"] As I keep reading nasty comments about Avast selling customers data and as I deeply hate FUD I would like to point out that: 1.) Avast has stopped doing business with customers data. That has happened in january and we are now in july. 2.) The data collected has always been anonymized and aggregated. Someone has suggested that such data could be deanonymized but, as far as I know, there isn't any proof to support those suppositions. If I'm wrong please post a link to those proofs. [URL="https://blog.avast.com/a-message-from-ceo"]A Message From Avast's CEO | Avast[/URL] I believe that discussions in a community so involved in security matters should be much more informed than that. I also think that doing such business is a wrong choise by a security vendor and I'm glad that Avast has moved on. Anyway, it is not necessary to spread FUD in order to criticize such choices.
