Web Shield Question
« on: July 18, 2013, 09:18:08 AM »
Does avast collect the information about everything the web shield searches or does it just look for viruses? Im just curious because of the whole Cloud Intelligence / Reputation Services things i see.

The only information that is collected is if the site that you go to has an infection.  Then anonymous data about the infection and the URL is returned to Avast for analysis
