Hi there, I appreciate Jeff’s concern for our privacy but I think more information is needed on the subject. Both Chrome and Firefox removed Avast and AVG browser extensions and add-ons sometime in December 2019. It seems to me the “Safe Price” add-on, in both Avast and AVG is the one to be cautious of and it is an option that can be unchecked during installation. It can also be removed after installation in both programs. I’m not sure it could even be installed in Chrome or Firefox. I didn’t try since I disabled that option as soon as I saw it. I never “sign up” or register a free program. I can’t remember if AVG asks for a signup, probably because I always instinctively don’t sign up for anything. Finally, after no signup and no submission of an email address, do I care that an unknown, unnamed, user with no email address and no physical location or house address (that happens to be me, by the way, since I’m using AVG free on my Windows 7 PC) has their browsing history gathered and sold? No, not really. But of course, it’s just my personal opinion. I think it’s a good idea to be aware of what “browser extensions” and add-ons are, and keep them to a minimum and also avoid the obviously suspect ones like the ones listed here: https://lifehacker.com/uninstall-these-eight-browser-extensions-that-stole-d... but even in those situations, “they” are tracking unknown users. They call it “your data” but in the worst case reality, and in my opinion, it is just the browsing habits of an unknown user. Why did I switch to AVG when Windows 7 (Microsoft Security Essentials) lost support. Simple – to save $50.xx a year and avoid the annoyances cause by more needy and expensive solutions. I’m using the built in Windows Defender on my Windows 10 PCs. Steve Karl 412-441-4349 The Pittsburgh PC Help Desk
