[QUOTE="Trident, post: 1039029, member: 99014"] Trend Micro allows you to turn off the data collection as well. Only ZoneAlarm has no settings over the data collection whatsoever. Other vendors are Kaspersky and Norton where telemetry can be switched off. By default, Norton installs with Community Watch switched off (it is unticked in the installer, requires user to manually change it). Between the three mentioned here, AVG and Trend can have telemetry off (Trend will continue to send a lot of data as that’s how scanning works) and ZoneAlarm will always transfer telemetry + data needed for cloud-based models to identify threats. AVG and Avast due to streaming updates reduce the dependency on the cloud and with telemetry off will have the least online activity. [/QUOTE]
