Antivirus firm Avast sold user data via 'Jumpshot' to Pepsi, Google, Microsoft — REPORT

Quick note: I’ve been using Avast for a couple of years now. It does ask you if you want to opt in to the tracking when you install it. Also, it can only track your web usage if you install their web plugins, which some browser companies (Mozilla for one) have now blocked, or if you use their “secure browser,” which I don’t. Still and all, I don’t like the look of this report, and I feel they could be doing more to be crystal clear about when/why/how they are tracking.
