[QUOTE="Andrew999, post: 878847, member: 31977"] Avast and AVG which are owned by the same company (Avast) were fairly recently involved in a privacy scandal where they were harvesting excessive amounts of user's web browsing data and selling it to advertisers. I in no way recommend Avast or AVG because I have had blue screen issues and viruses getting through many years back when I used it. [URL="https://screenrant.com/avast-data-sharing-scandal-explained/"]Avast Scandal: Here's What You Need To Know[/URL] I personally recommend Avira, Panda or Windows defender for free protection. Also, for Ad protection, Adguard browser extension which is free is very good at blocking ads. I personally use Avira and AdGuard browser extension in Vivaldi browser. [/QUOTE]
