Title: Intimate information
Post by: hilarious on April 17, 2014, 01:41:32 PM

hello

While installing avast free anti-virus you can read a message that they collect intimate information on the user, but they don't say what information they collect.

What intimate information do they collect? I don't know, but I thought of:
1. your operation system type
2. precesses/applications running on your OS
2. the webs you visit
3. names of files on your hdd
4. your IP address
5. time your computer is on

?
