Why was this
« on: December 27, 2013, 02:32:02 PM »
be sent to my gmail address?  I used a different email when I registered for the Forum.

I don't subscribe to that channel even though it shows I do.  I didn't and won't watch the video.

If you didn't subscribe, then you wouldn't have received this email.
Watching or not watching the video is still your choice.
It happens to be a legitimate video posted by Avast on their blog.

I'm no longer subscribed as I don't trust Google and will delete my gmail address   I'm not going to pay for an email address that spys on me.

Google does as much "spying" as you allow.  So do all the other email account suppliers. (MSN, Yahoo, etc)
You control your settings. You therefore control how much information you allow them to access. (There are certain exceptions.)
