[QUOTE="badboy, post: 1117183, member: 119622"] I don't think you should worry too much, because all your data is already collected one way or another (ISP, OS, search engine, apps with registration by phone number, etc.). :) For example, it could very well be that your fingerprints are already with China (if your smartphone is a Chinese brand) or the US government if it's Apple or the Koreans if it's Samsung. :) You don't even have to mention Google. :) So antivirus products are the lesser of evils. In any case, I don't think there is your first and last name folder somewhere that collects your data specifically. It's just a dataset, anonymized. :) Just choose who you entrust them to. For example, I try not to choose Chinese or Russian services or antiviruses. So I don't use Kaspersky or AdGuard. [/QUOTE]
