This is shocking news! I used to be a fan of AVG, but now I have to uninstall it.

Avast, which acquired AVG in 2016, was fined $16.5 million by the FTC for allegedly selling users' browsing history data.

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) accused Avast of illegally collecting this data through its software.
