We’re not demanding. All you need is a PC running Windows 10, 8.1, 8 or 7 and 400 MB of hard disk space. And that’s it.

Pre-empting the demise of XP support by Avast ;)

"Note: Avast collects and sends usage statistics and crash reports to company servers automatically. Users are not prompted about this during installation. You may disable the collecting and sending on secure://settings/ under privacy and security."

So much for the subject of privacy.

For the sake of clarification:

Since the secure browser has a separate download link listed above, is that aimed only at existing avast users who haven't yet updated to get the secure browser, or is it being made available to all internet users (who meet the other hardware/software requirements)?

Hi, ASB is a standalone product an can be used even without Avast installed.
