Hi Davidek,
I believe that to be true.
I have a full 100% trust in the avast! av solution, else I would not been using it for more than 10 years now.
But VPN in combination with Wifi for instance isn’t that bulletproof as many hold it to be. Vulnerabilities galore!
And the weak point need not be avast"s doing,
re a router abuse report here: http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=145422.msg1055340#msg1055340
Read this paper from 2005 but a lot of conclusions still stand: http://www.nta-monitor.com/files/whitepapers/VPN-Flaws-Whitepaper.pdf

I would not use a VPN for the reason that VPN traffic is attractive to snoopers, same reason why I would not use tor.
Best is always to realize that all you do on the Internet should be considered done in public and for a world wide audience,
that is your best security policy. Whatever they may tell you privacy on the Internet is a non-existing animal.
And we all helped to get at that situation.
