[QUOTE="plat, post: 906124, member: 74969"] No, but they don't have to emblazon any potential turn-off info in huge letters on their sites, either. If you're very picky about your security and privacy, maybe try to force yourself to read the Terms and search around before clicking "Accept." This is such a lucrative thing to these companies because people are so paranoid in general. I said this in my earlier post already. Be a smart shopper, that's all. I looked at Avast's SecureLine webpage just now. Would I install this, even though it's a big-name in Antivirus? No, I would not. It could be pure and clean but there are other fish in the sea without skeletons (that we know of). No one really knows what happens at those hops and "exit nodes" and you can't be a fly on the wall at anyone's HQ. You're not getting a product you can physically inspect. So OP was right to voice these concerns. I agree. Off-topic: at first I thought that was a skunk in your avatar but those are black feathers, right? [/QUOTE]
