Avast still spying on us :-D

I only recently installed avast and hadn’t even realized that it updated because it does this automatically. I just checked my privacy settings and they were changed, and I know for a fact that they were disabled when I installed Avast. It’s annoying and a little disappointing, but whatever. Just wanted to post here to state that this isn’t an isolated incident. Avast does apparently change Privacy settings, and it has happened with the most recent update regardless of what that changelog claims.

Some of my my settings (like “Enable Avast email signature” and “Antispam”) which I’ve turned off are also always turned on again when AIS updates.

That was a bug some version back. It’s not supposed to be happening in the current version. (12.1.2272)
