[QUOTE="SerialCart, post: 873898, member: 83401"] Well this is a really difficult question to answer. the CEO of this company mentioned that they will completely stop this. But the reality is that you would never know if even other companies are doing this or not. For example the fact that this scandal was released about AVAST not Kaspersky, this does not mean that Kaspersky is not doing it -OR- doing this. So in 2020 this is really difficult to answer the question: Which company will keep my privacy safe or will not sell my data! I have had very good experiences (COMPLETELY PERSONAL), with F-Secure, AVIRA, ESET and Bitdefender... but again nothing is 100%... In my opinion when it comes to security Avast is good, and if you like Avast go for it. Regarding privacy: try to search in the settings and turn all the reporting and analytical options off. If it does not have such settings go for an alternative. And at the end as it has been discussed many times here in MT.com and elsewhere, nothing is 100% free, even Google services. If you are going for a free software and you are worried for your privacy, you should be more careful. Al [/QUOTE]
