Nothing more to say. And really not surprising. Avast has always been shady.

You are a bit late...

I'm surprised people still used it. It used to be alright at first in the mid 2000's but then it really started to get shady.

Welcome to the digital era everyone sells data.

Doesnt make it right if even if everyone is doing it

Too little too late, isn't it?

Just dont use an antivirus, much less a free one.

Chances are you won't get infected unless you're a total moron.

People aren't just gonna quit because you say so, and as many said: there are a lot of companies who do that.

I don't use antivirus anymore. Prefer Kapersky Internet Security than Avast.

You think they just let you be on internet in your comfort zone? as soon as you turn the router on everyone knows size of your shoes. Internet was never private.

I don't even use antivirus, so I don't care.

Besides, I'm sure Microsoft sells whatever data they're collecting on me for a fortune. I don't care.

I don't really know much about IT, antispyware and antimalware enough for me.
