Title: How to opt out of data gathering?
Post by: REDACTED on October 23, 2014, 06:20:09 PM

"If after installing this product, you'd prefer not to participate in this data gathering, you can opt-out later by changing this option in the settings."

Where is the opt-out setting? Thanks.

Assume Avast Free for the sake of argument.

I agree with Charyb - I read that as unchecking the [ ] Participate in the Avast community box.

Yes, sorry, I have the free edition of the 2015 version. Thank you, everyone.
