[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 58943, post: 714148"] To illustrate why I respect companies that put privacy first - I recently had a discussion with a fairly well placed person at Bullguard. It went like this; Me: What telemetry does Bullguard 2018 gather? Him: None. Me: What files does Bullguard send? Documents? Executables? Him: None. Me: Does Bullguard send anything at all? Him: No, it doesn't. In fact, if we need to diagnose a problem we need you to join a remote session so we can login and look at the system itself. Me: This explains why my PCAPS are empty. Him: This is precisely why your PCAPS will always be empty. Now that's privacy.. I had heard that Bullguard did absolutely no telemetry in their 2018 version and had a 1 line privacy policy in the product itself. This seems to be true. They seem to be one of the top players for privacy in AV's.. Fortinet also added the capability to turn off ALL logging/telemetry/diagnostics in their Forticlient offering rendering a completely privacy AV product as well. I would guess that right now, FortiClient and Bullguard are the two least chatty AV's out there. [/QUOTE]
