[QUOTE="XLR8R, post: 894451, member: 85385"] I hope you have read some of the comments on this forum and others about GDPR and Avast and how the tickboxes had to be opt in rather than opt out. If the Czech government is running a probe and it is not dismissed yet, it means this was not as innocent as we think. It may turn out to be fine in the end, but if it's taking so long, there's a cause for concern. That being said, I have observed recent versions of Avast/AVG (April onwards) are not as intrusive anymore and I think they've now added GDPR compliance into the program. So the products should be okay to use now. [/QUOTE]
