It's been a while, I asked here, why Avast turns ON by default "participate in avast community" and "participate in data sharing". Not every update, but quite often these would be turned ON by Avast, although I keep them OFF. I was assured by a nice Avast employee that Avast has no need to spy on us, why on Earth would they do it, right? Very nice guy to chat with, realy nice. A few days ago, Avast upgraded on its own, ahem and since it again works strangely on my machine I start checking the options and obviously Avast again turned ON the above mentioned setting against my will. no respect. will never buy.
