So, it's been known for more than two years that Avast and AVG were stealing and selling personal information. What have safetydetectives been doing for all that time?



Too busy rearranging affiliate links on their website to notice or care? This site appears to be utter trash. Pretty much like 90% of the mattress review websites that suspiciously rank mattresses based on the kickback, I mean affiliate bonus, each mattress company gives them.

I rolled my eyes hard when they said something like “based on user feedback”, I’m sorry, is this not your entire point in existing? Monitoring the situation? Why are you having to rely on users telling you about this, repeatedly? Also what kind of user who actually cares about this kind of stuff is also reading/trusting/communicating with this site?
