It goes without saying that reliable antivirus software plays a
crucial role in IT security. As malware continues to become more
sophisticated and prolific (more than 350,000 malware samples are
released every single day), home users and business owners alike need
to have protection in place to stop these modern digital threats.

However, antivirus products are not immune to privacy problems. While
the antivirus industry is ostensibly on the side of good, many
antivirus products behave in a way that infringes on users’ privacy.
Whether they intercept web traffic, sell browser history data, or
allow backdoor access to government agencies, many antivirus products
are guilty of jeopardizing the very thing they are designed to
protect: your data.

Here are five ways antivirus software may interfere with your privacy.
