Re: AVG has 200 million users, split among desktop and mobile versions of its security software.
I wonder how this number will change in next months...
I'm actually quite interested to know that. Of course, as soon as the news broke that they were doing this, I pulled AVG off my machines - and I'd expect pretty much every other El Reg reader/commentard to have done the same.
The real question is whether Joe & Jane Bloggs will a) ever hear about it, and if they do, b) give a toss. Based on conversations I've been having with various people lately, most of them seem worryingly unbothered about having their personal data slurped and analysed, if it means they get Free Stuff.
