[QUOTE="GoodMeasure, post: 1117127, member: 120189"] I see and appreciate the [URL='https://malwaretips.com/threads/which-av-are-you-using-and-why-did-you-choose-this-one.133816/']Which AV are you using and why did you choose this one ??[/URL] thread. That is being asked and discussed primarily from a security point of view. However; what about from a privacy point of view? In 2025, of the top AV/antimalware options, which are seen as doing less potential telemetry, advertising, and general spying on the user? I am thinking probably paid AV software, but also free. I am still [I]very[/I] interested in quality security, but also on perceived trustworthiness on the privacy front. I feel like that is an important factor in selecting security software, but doesn't get discussed as much. Trust me, I totally realize that there is no such thing as perfect privacy, but I don't think that is a valid argument to completely give up on it. Recommendations? Thoughts? Thanks! [/QUOTE]
