In response, Avast said it had stopped gathering people&#8217;s data &#8220;for any other purpose than the core security engine, including sharing with Jumpshot&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>But a <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.co.uk\/2020\/01\/27\/google_disables_web_store\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">PCMag investigation publicised earlier this week<\/a> found that Avast can still collect users&#8217; browser history through its main antivirus application, or through AVG antivirus, which it also owns. The data is harvested through the software&#8217;s Web Shield component, which scans URLs on your browser to detect malicious or dodgy websites, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcmag.com\/news\/the-cost-of-avasts-free-antivirus-companies-can-spy-on-your-clicks\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">it claimed<\/a>. Jumpshot denied the allegations.<\/p>\n<p>Avast announced the closure, which it termed a &#8220;winding down&#8221; in a <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/press.avast.com\/avast-to-commence-wind-down-of-subsidiary-jumpshot\">press release<\/a> this morning, saying that it would &#8220;terminate its provision of data&#8221; to Jumpshot immediately and eventually close the business.
