Honestly what's the big deal? You all own smartphones, right? Okay, If you have an Android phone your every move is being tracked by Google. If you have an iphone, your every move is being tracked by Apple. Windows phone? You get the picture by now.
The simple fact is nowadays there is no escape from the Googles of this world analysing your data every time you log on to your PC, and connect to the internet. Whether that be via Chrome, Firefox, or indeed Avast! It really is as simple as that.
If you don't want your data / internet connections to be analysed etc, then stop going online, because there really is no escape from it. So, to come on here and start moaning about how Google is connecting via Avast there is a solution. Stop using Gmail, stop using any form of email, and let's just go back to the analogue days. Don't want to? Then deal with it!
I am an Android user so i accept that Google knows my every move throughout the day. They even know what time i go to bed! Use Avast on your mobile? What do you think has been going on there the whole time? Come on people.
