[QUOTE="Deleted Member 308817310, post: 823172, member: 80647"] Avast is fine and I suggest you ignore the scare-ware about it. It is true that Avast are into data collection - they do either own or influence Jumpshot, a data collection and analysis firm - but the data collection is anonymous and adheres to legal requirements. In other words, Avast are not legally allowed to do anything that no other company can do to you. Paid customers of Avast solutions have the ability to disable the data collection in the settings and keep it to an absolute minimum which likely results in the bare-bone telemetry required for the working of Avast products. At the end of the day, nothing is free. Avast cannot support the free version of their products properly if no one is paying for the paid solutions. Therefore, it makes perfect sense that they monetized the free version in some shape or form and allow paid customers to disable it. Avast have great protection abilities and so does AVG which is also owned by them now. [/QUOTE]
