Avast! software is popular for its antivirus and antimalware features. It is possible to disable tracking of data by the software, but this is not always possible or desirable. The tracking of data by Avast! software occurs in two ways. First, the software collects basic information about the computer, such as the operating system and the browser used.
This information is used to improve the detection of malware. Second, Avast! software collects data about the websites visited. This information is used to improve the detection of potentially malicious websites. It is possible to disable both of these features, but doing so may impact the effectiveness of the software.
