I don't mean to be too cynical, but it occurred to me that avast were desperate to push (literally) this product on everybody,
there must be something in it for them. Do they collect more data on users, possibly ? And then sell it ? That could be quite a revenue stream.
When I look at avast, I see a company who appear to have no coherent strategy at all. Instead, they've done everything to maximize short term
profit. At some cost to their reputation, I might add.
