Avast/Avira, tja niet alleen de namen lijken op elkaar.

User Experience and Statistics
We use our own proprietary technologies (including soft authentication systems, storage and messaging engines, databases and big data repositories) in order to perform statistical evaluations using pseudonymized user profiles to optimize your experience with our products and provide relevant content and advertisements.

We may combine information we gather about your use of one product or service with your use of another product or service
One profile, waar doet me dàt toch weer aan denken?
Hop! Naar de aV-cloud dan?

Nope, liever geen data naar de cloud, de toon van 'het vertrouwen' is al gezet.
Ziedaar, mmm, toch even doorkijklezen dan?

Heel symphatieke pogingen hoor van Avira. Begrip ook voor het meeleveren van die Ask toolbar bij een gratis product.
Maar ja, straks heb je hem nog dubbel in je browsertoolbar collectie (saampjes met die van O.J.), dat moeten we niet hebben.
Deze aVira-service-portie gaat met veel plezier naar 'Fikkie'.
Misschien dus toch nog maar even verder naar een product zonder extra toolbars kijken : De noodklok werd immers geluid!
Hartelijk dank voor de attente waarschuwing!
