You have to try it once. And poor quality as in?
I did try it & immediately installed a good free av.The bundled av with win 7 & win 8 never fared good in av-comparatives & other similar av testing organizations' tests.It is only with win 10 that ms bundled av starts performing as good as any paid av in these tests.

using avast for long time ... bt news tells us avast is spying on us ... should i change or stick to it ???
Read the news in details & see if there are some settings that can be changed to minimise this as it is almost always the case.If still not happy or just want to change then get avira free or bitdefender free.

Read that. Collected our internet usage data and sold to Google, Microsoft and others.
Everybody is tracking us on internet...Google, FB, MS etc. Don't know if any other AV company is doing the same. That is why we see lots of VPN suggestions while browsing the net.

get kaspersky free AV-its a much better alternative to avast/avira etc and is also quite light on the system.

They say it is Russian spyware.

I read sometime before that even the mighty expensive Apple gives backdoor to their govt. So it is not a matter of money or how big the company is. Almost all good antivirus will know everything about your system and files. Avast once warned me of keeping the medical documents safe. How did they know ? They are the Skynet.

^^Not recommended to use cracked AV as they will be detected easily in a day or two. Buy it from a good site such as Amazon or Flipkart. You can Group buy a AV suite which will lower the cost even more for each user. I did the same with Bitdefender long time back and still using it.
