> Avast? Last I heard they did antivirus software for Windows. Might have changed business focus since I last heard years ago but a quick look on their website shows they still offer the AV. I guess every AV vendor is jumping on the VPN wagon these days. I hear Norton now bundles crypto mining with their AV, taking a share of your profits.
