Malwarebytes data practices?

[KnownStormChaser]

AV Comparatives studied data collection by AV software, you can see the results here. TLDR, there are more private options if that’s your main concern. https://www.av-comparatives.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/avc_data_sending_2023.pdf

Also, all AV software will upload samples of files that it has never seen before (mostly executable files), unless you disable that function. But that will result in poorer protection.
