I started reading this post in hopes of learning something (the reason I read any post)
The issue was answered and re-answered.
I don't understand all the added 'stuff 'why that's necessary, Man

So far, I have been told that webrep doesn't send anything, if I deactivate the community option, which is counter to what staff say.
How does that answer me? Hmm?

hi SweetieBelle,
Try these two forums here as they are business-based:
http://forum.avast.com/index.php?board=8.0
and here:
http://forum.avast.com/index.php?board=33.0
This forum, Free/Pro/Suite, is geared more towards personal users rather than commercial issues or software.
As for preventing all private data from being sent to the Internet, that is not possible. I think you know what is meant by that, as Avast! is certainly not alone in collecting data about its users. Everyone does it, to a greater or lesser degree. These two forum links above may be able to better help you get a handle on what you can allow and not.
