Avast is the new name for greed and lace

 

Huge privacy scandal.

 

When you first read this message in the PCMac, you didn't want to believe what you were reading.

 

The virus protection program operator AVAST, based in Düsseldorf and with a large clientele up to now, has been spying on customers for years and then sold the sensitive data.

 

Sephora, Condé Nast, Google, Yelp, Microsoft, Pepsi, McKinsey are in the foreground, and countless other legal and illegal data collectors are said to have been served. Such in current research of Vice and PCMac.

 

Whoever installs products from Avast or AVG Antivirus on a Windows PC is informed by a popup on the product whether he wants to pass on the data. Allegedly the data would then be anonymised. Whether this is the case should be doubted.

 

So far, AVAST has not disclosed all contracts that were served by this. Cleverly, the marketing company Omnicom has a place in front of the potential buyers from autumn 2018. Nobody can say how long before that the spying activities had been going on. AVAST is keeping a low profile.

 

AVAST says millions were spent on it. Especially nasty for the users, the browser plugin was free. It is said that 435 million data records, including pornography and other purchasing behaviours, were skimmed off every month.

 

Now the scandal of AVAST and the buyer Omnicom is being pumped down.

 

It is not clear whether the data from the "All Click Feed" also went to octopuses such as Cambridge Analytica or similar evaluators. To be able to analyse click behaviour in a targeted manner, for example, to be able to influence elections in the Federal Republic of Germany.

 

Neither the AVAST headquarters in the Czech Republic nor the Düsseldorf representation could be reached for a statement today.

 

Moreover, AVAST explained that the data had been made anonymous. As the PCMac article points out, this is merely impossible. The collected weblogs were deleted before the personal data of the users were disclosed.

 

Why would the data be sold for expensive money if it could no longer be assigned?

Guest articles are welcome!

As of today, something is also some changing for us.

We open our journal to anyone who wants to publish guest articles. We have set up a separate section for this. The guest articles run alongside normal operations.

 

At the same time, the book blog will be activated for all authors as of today. We will explain this in a separate following post.

Here are the rules of the game:

Those who know us know that we publish radical ideas, neither right-wing slogans nor left-wing radical ideas. We do not publish such propaganda or contents from the right-wing. We do not publish conspiracy theories. We reserve the right to shorten the articles.

The editors reserve the right to reject articles.

The articles should be sent in an acceptable form to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. We reserve the right for changes. Currently only in German, English and French. A verifiable e-mail address and the name of the author must be clearly stated below the article. The tags must be specified, as well as a short summary of the article.

 

The authors cede us the exclusive copyright for publication if they send the text to us. If this text is published in another medium, we take the article from "the management".

Each article should be accompanied by a photo of its own, for which the author holds the copyright. The responsibility for this lies with the author. Possible legal disputes are the responsibility of the authors, not the publisher.

The texts, we're checking, should not be plagiarisms. In case of doubt, the article will not be published.

Links are welcome.

There is neither the right to remuneration nor to reimbursement of expenses, the publisher publishes the texts free of charge. We reserve the right to place advertisements in the articles.

 

Anyone can write whatever comes to mind. We only censor in exceptional cases. e.g. in case of violence or pornography etc.

Promotional items are only published upon payment. Mail to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. is sufficient for a cost estimate.

Otherwise, the GDPR and the GSR apply

Good luck and we look forward to numerous articles!
