[QUOTE="Captain Holly, post: 1076407, member: 90494"] I guess Avast will never live down the Jumpshot data selling issue. I read somewhere, don't have a source but I remember reading that Avast's new owner Gen Digital/Norton is not allowing things like this to happen now. Avast itself has tried in the past to apologize and they shut Jumpshot down when they got caught selling user data a few years ago. I think it has been 3 or 4 years now. I saw a post about this at Wilders maybe a year or two ago saying Avast had stopped the data collection/sales and were much more concerned with implementing the new-at-the-time Avast One platform. Still, what they did was wrong and now they have to pay. C.H. [/QUOTE]
