Wrong, I know that if you are using google-analytics (as many sites do) be that for collation of website traffic stats or other traffic the data has to be stored on the google-analytics.com to be able to access the data.
In this case the collation of how users navigate through the avastUI so that it can be analysed by avast to improve the avastUI.
My only issue is that people were trying to use the avastUI statistics to find access to google-analytics, the problem being that traffic could come from multiple sources, not just the avastUI.exe if it even records connections/traffic from avastUI.exe as these may not go through the web shield proxy. So it is the statistics as a source of information for this which I’m saying is not good.
Other sources firewall logs if the firewall is capable of recording the parent process (some can’t) and not just recording the web shield proxy as the parent process (if the avastUI traffic is redirected through the proxy). There are a number of sniffer packages that are equally as good at detecting this.
