Advice Request What is Avast AntiTrack Premium? - Discussion, Opinions, Verdict

[RejZoR]

While I generally like avast! (obviously), it makes me wonder, who pays for all this stuff? If you have 3 computers in home, each rocking a 80€ suite and on top this AntiTrack and VPN and you end up paying 300€ a year just to protect your stuff. That doesn't sound right.

Especially when same can be basically achieved using Ghostery or Privacy Badger or various filters for AdGuard or uBlock. I don't know, even avast! Online Security extension is meant to block trackers, are they ditching that in favor of selling this package? Looks like it...

Wayyyy to expensive for my taste! $40.00! Wowzers!

As others have noted other software does the job better!

Hmm... is their slogan is not valid anymore ? Avast, be free !

Nice product, but should definitely not be paid. We can get same privacy protection with free tools.

How?

The irony!

The irony!

Indeed. Facepalm springs to mind lol.

Avast are catering for privacy now whilst their actual products are a very creation designed to be intrusive against ones privacy so they can benefit off the selling of customer data?

Am I missing something here?

so does this tool also protect you from their own logging?
