Don’t all antivirus programs scan your files? How is this a surprise?

A web browser isn’t an antivirus program.

Anti-virus programs tend not to read your document files. They used to just scan downloads. Then they modified the tool to pry into your private files.

And, I’m happy enough with my current antivirus. I don’t need a third party nosing around my computer (although AOL asks to on a regular basis).

You have to stop using reason and logic if you want to keep posting here.

exactly, not a very good a/v solution if it doesn't scan you files now is it. I get it the big boys are gathering your data, but now people are hanging on to every little thing as evidence of this, leading to a 'boy who cried wolf' scenario.
