AVG follows Win10 spyware lead

AVG free antivirus is now going to be following Microsofts lead in “info gathering” … I personally call it spying.

BE WARNED - This also applies to their Linux AV

[EDIT]

And here’s something else to consider:

Ditched AVG ages ago, they’ve been trailing in the AV ratings for a long time.
I flit between Avast & Avira on my Windows installs, can highly recommend either of them. It’s easier to shut Avast up with regard to adverts for their “pro” paid product, Avira “feels” a little bit “lighter” on resources.

And I agree with you :slight_smile:

Just another reason for, at the very least, keeping windross off the internet ::slight_smile:

( not using it at all being the best option ;D)
