[QUOTE="SeriousHoax, post: 1051448, member: 78686"] I haven't checked the whole thing yet. There are so many data points, but one thing that caught my eyes is this one, "Is the content of cookies transmitted?"-- Many products don't disclose this, many others don't collect this, but Kaspersky is one that said they collect this info. What does this mean? By cookies, does it mean cookies of every site that I visit? Including sites where I'm logged in? I never log out of some websites. If that's the type of cookie they are talking about, then what are AV products gonna do with my cookies? I don't understand, and this does not look good. It could be dangerous to collect the contents of cookies. A clarification of this would be better. Correct me if this is different from what I'm thinking. [/QUOTE]
