I have disabled automatic updates, but it has updated anyway to 14.3 and enabled Share app usage with Avast, under privacy. Also please beware, your privacy settings are ignored for other subproducts, so basically they are still screwing you.
Avast is NOT trustworthy. Spreading FUD with WiFi inspector, Ransomware, forced updates, FUD notifications for uneducated people.
Come on, I just do not believe that this is a bug. It is just an intentional introduction of a bug, so you are not responsible for oops... we just did it. You have no excuse to steal our private data and sell it.
I am migrating all our user base to alternative.
