Yes the poster is barking up the wrong tree here. What is threatening your privacy, anonymity and also your security is a cocktail of total governmental surveillance (the so-called “stalker states”) supported by the aid of certain big corporations and your service provider (voluntarily or unvoluntarily on a mutual demand basis).
With device fingerprinting they even have satelite images of where your wifi is positioned and how far your device (laptop etc) is away from that point. Yes you are fully transparent and we are all guilty for letting this happen to us. The young generation that has not read George Orwells “1984” thinks this is the way it ought to be.
All that is happening on the Interwebs forms part of these schemes, only avast is not even a minor player there (no personalised tracking etc.).
