    Holy crap, so it's actually still pretty bad! Especially Avast should be ashamed after they were caught spying on users back in 2019, but still continue to do so? But besides Avast, also Avira, K7, Kaspersky, Norton and Panda monitor the websites that you visit, in order to sell this data to advertising companies?

    So basically, Malwarebytes and Win Defender can't be trusted? :eek:
