Hello Questions with Avast Web rep

[REDACTED]

Hi there I am actually a paying customer of Avast online been for a few years.

Recently well actually earlier I went and got

avast! Online Security 9.0.2018.95
Avast Browser Security and Web Reputation Plugin


I figure'd maybe it would help.

Anyway a few questions about this new extension which I am using in google chrome btw.


Here is what I got check marked. I'll  put a screenshot of what I have check marked thus far.







anyway does everything I have check marked ok to be check marked?

I uncheck marked safeprice because I don't want that. And I unchecked the safezone thing as well because I don't need it asking me constantly.


Now here is a few questions I need answered:





What is the CommunityIQ option do? What is allowing submission of anonymous data to enhance our services mean? What of my data is being sent? Do I need this checked or no?

Under the Do not track which says it
Detects and blocks unwanted advertising and prevents analytics sites from secretly tracking you
I have that checked.

I also have the

Block Social Networks checked

Block ad tracking checked

I didn't check block web analytics

and I didn't check block others by default

What do the 4 above do? And should I have them checked? If so which or what should I have checked in.


Please let me know anyone who has any good input on this. Thank you and any help will be appreciated

Update I decided to uncheck mark the community send data option thing and I decided to check mark the 4 options under do not track.

Was that a good idea?

Anyway sorry for double post. If anyone has any input on my question/topic please post because I am a noob when it comes to this stuff
