"Avast's bait-and-switch surveillance tactics compromised consumers' privacy and broke the law."
The company pulled one of those switcheroo things like Meta did where they created a parent company to dump all the bad PR attached to the old company. Needless to say I recommend against using any and all software from Gen Digital, Piriform, Avast, AVG, CCleaner, etc. and related products.
