About Avast/AVG collecting detailed browsing history through
their products and selling it to... just about everyone! Wild stuff.
Then again, was there ever any reason to trust AV companies
in a time when corporations are coming up with excuses why
spying and selling personal data is "normal"? Even car companies
are now claiming their customers have given them permission
to spy on their driving.

This is why I always block programs from phoning home by default and only
allow those which really them.
