[QUOTE="Gandalf_The_Grey, post: 789612, member: 52096"] They are accused of datamining see for example this thread: [URL="https://malwaretips.com/threads/does-avast-own-jumpshot.87650/"]Q&A - Does Avast own Jumpshot?[/URL] The current problems with CCleaner telemetry you couldn't shut down, bundeling Avast and and an Avast cookie that appears. These things make Avast look bad and untermine the trust people have in them. Their AV is quite good, but is you don't trust the company behind it... [/QUOTE]
