Using an old link that doesn't work isn't very persuasive.

Its not old, from August 6, 2019. I screwed up I guess posting the link, just copy and paste it in your browse to view.

Somehow or other the URL you posted had FTP (not HTTPS) at the start of the underlying URL and not what was shown on the screen.

This one works.

One good report also doesn't make it the top of the class.
Those test scores vary from month to month.

Results from legitimate and professional testing companies are quite welcome, If your personal tests are like your personal opinions below then they're not even believable and are completely amateur without facts and figures

avast better.

avast better.

Sorry but that page is not believable or even professional, statements like below referring to running multiple browsers when supposed to be talking about anti-viruses
 
( You should install an antivirus on your computer, but it is probably not wise for you to use more than one full-range antivirus at the same time. You ask why? Running multiple browsers at the same time will slow down your system and cause confusion between antivirus software. )

Also comparing Malwarebytes against Defender, Malwarebytes isn't even a Anti-virus

Try looking up some AVComparatives reviews and similar professional companies who've actually done tests on detection and prevention of malware.

@Professional58
I suggest you keep your personal ratings to yourself. they certainly don't belong on this forum.
Avast is regularly rated by many competent testing organizations. Those results are trusted by the industry.
I don't know what you're "professional" at but it certainly isn't rating Antivirus products.

Well what about this professional sites review that state in the article possible privacy issues, and Avast collecting browser history.    I manage My 2 Gaming systems and Mom's system in the household here, and while she may not understand the privacy options,  I certainly do myself,   not sure how I feel 100 percent on it possibly collecting browser history and who knows what else from the systems

Years  ago I switched from Windows Live One Care to Avast on January 1st 2006 after I was testing Windows Live OneCare a while/bought a 3 user copy, ended up with all household systems infected somehow then,   then based on online friend recommendation choose to install Avast Free,   but nowadays local tech friends don't recommend Avast Free, and other online tech forums,  so got me worried now

https://www.tomsguide.com/us/avast-free-antivirus,review-2208.html

know this review is on older version of Avast Free, but still a bit concerned.     If nothing to worry about,  then will keep Avast installed on all household systems

2 things to realize on this data collection.
1. the information is not personal information it's anonymized.
2. Use a custom install and go through the privacy settings to customize the default settings.
(Default always allow the most amount of data sharing and this is probably true for 99.9% of all programs and apps installed.)

From what I've read and discussed when it comes to "data mining" there is no privacy.
If you're on the internet your data (personal or otherwise) is out there and collectable regardless of settings.
"Privacy" is a non-issue, as there isn't any.
