Avast will liquidate its subsidiary from Jumpshot, which sold data to external clients including technology giants such as Microsoft and Google, as well as large brands such as Pepsi and Home Depot. Although Jumpshot days are numbered, unfortunately Avast will need time to regain customer confidence. A security company may probably face an investigation into the collection of user data. In my opinion, if there is anything for free, it does not have enough qualifications to operate our devices especially protect our data.
