garethweston91 the only reason you have noticed this is because avast now puts this information in the installer, previously you would have needed to read the EULA and like 99% of users it was never read ::slight_smile:

Avast are not doing anything new, it has always collected certain information and if you were to read the EULA’s of every other AV program out there they would all pretty my say the same thing in one way or another as it’s how they all use the information to perfect their usability of the program and improve the given protection of the product.
