A nice read thank you for this.

Most people don't care about privacy and that is very sad. There are security products that still send info about you even if you turn it off.

No idea why the hype about AV/AM privacy ... It's not like we're planning a terrorism or performing a crime.

Well a typical user does not really concern about privacy issues but rather on protection basis.

That mentality unfortunately holds the security companies to abuse and conduct unnecessary behavior.

It would have been better to see concrete results of investigation on each AV tested rather than general conclusions. I'm curious to see what kind of data each AV is dealing with in order to avoid the vendors or AV companies that really abuse of this right and are really spying on us.
