Web trackers.....any issues?

[Kenny202]

I installed AVG antivirus software last week. Computer was clean but everyday getting suggestions and advice from AVG why I should buy their premium package. I see tonight came up with a message saying I have a potentially harmful internet tracker on my PC (no details given) that could be farming my website browser tp sell to advertising companies etc. I thought Facebook / Google and co were already doing this? Seem to get pop ups everyday wanting me to buy stuff I havent searched but was thinking of lol....like they are monitoring a microphone or my thought waves.....

 

Anyway, is it anything to worry about? They didn't supply any details or name of said tracker

Delete it and use Brave.

 

Problem solved.

It seems that is the whole purpose of the free versions.

That's one of the reasons why I use the Microsoft AV Defender which comes as part of Windows. It just works and it doesn't ask questions or give you reminders, etc.

And according to independent reviews the MS product is good.

Personally I would delete AVG and use the built in SW. Problem solved.
