An antivirus that sells its users' data is quite controversial. According to the FTC, this was the case with Avast. The antivirus allegedly acted contrary to the application's assumptions and policy.

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) will fine Avast $16.5 million. Is a program that is supposed to protect the user working to his detriment? A place like this shouldn't happen.

However, Avast reported that the data sold was devoid of personally identifiable information. However, the FTC claims that the data was purchased to be associated with a specific user.
