[QUOTE="SeriousHoax, post: 1121183, member: 78686"] Every product sends files to the cloud, so it's nothing new. Microsoft, Kaspersky, Bitdefender, Avast, everyone. Honestly ESET's LiveGuard equivalent protection has been in Avast free for many users and its name is, CyberCapture. Now which is more effective I can't tell. CyberCapture has always been very average, LiveGuard isn't spectacular either. Well, this is something NSA used to do, and their employees passed around such photos among collogues before Edward Snowden exposed them. It's probably harder nowadays due to end-to-end encryption (not default in all platforms). ESET don't send any documents files like PDF to the cloud, suspicious or not. Users have to manually enable that if they want. ESET logs every single file sent to them which you can see in the GUI. It also has an option to enable desktop notification every time a file is sent. Before Norton became Avast, they used to log everything too in even in more details. Anyway, in the end you just have to trust whatever product you use. Don't trust = Don't use. [/QUOTE]
