    AVG Censorship

    There's an article in Slashdot (http://yro.slashdot.org/story/15/09/19/1319201/avg-proudly-announces-it-will-sell-your-browsing-history-to-online-advertisers) noting that AVG will now sell on your browsing details to advertisers (apparently just for the freebie version).

    However, what is really amusing, is that the paid version of AVG tries to block me from reading the Slashdot URL by informing me that "Could be a Trojan horse Hosts".

    A similar article critical of AVG on Softpedia (http://news.softpedia.com/news/avg-proudly-announces-it-will-sell-your-browsing-history-to-online-advertisers-492146.shtml) also triggers the AVG anti-virus alert.

    Bye, bye AVG.
