I just received a pop-up from Avast antivirus linking to a page with an article from Gary Kasparov talking about faking news? It's outrageous that you are now using your software to send me political views. You are an antivirus company, not a news outlet. Do not do this again, I find it Orwellian and inappropriate. I couldn't care less about Kasparov's views or his status as a 'Avast Security Ambassador', whatever that's supposed to mean, he's not a programmer of antivirus software is he?
I want security from you, not political views thinly veiled as 'security news'.
Using your software to do so is an abuse of the trust of your users. You have no right to do this without my permission. It's no different than spam, i.e. sending messages I didn't ask for.
Stick to antivirus, if I want political messages I'll go to a news site.
