The questioner basically asked if he was safe using the vpn service from government snooping, I replied no.

I wasn’t talking about Avast Internet Security. I was only talking about their vpn service. VPN is different from Antivirus or Firewall or security software.

Avast is not just a vpn service provider.

Yes, if someone doesn’t like the vpn service provided by Avast, then leave it. I personally use iVPN and I have premier Avast license as well. Avast is a good AV product, I admit that.
