"Avast's core mission is to keep its users safe online and to give users control over their privacy," said Ondrej Vlcek, CEO of Avast. "The bottom line is that any practices that jeopardize user trust are unacceptable to Avast. We are vigilant about our users' privacy, and we took quick action to begin winding down Jumpshot's operations after it became evident that some users questioned the alignment of data provision to Jumpshot with our mission and principles that define us as a Company."

Good one! You've already raked it in by betraying your customers trust. Closing it down quickly now - does the cynic in me sense anything further that needs covering up?

Ultimately, this will clearly have significant ramifications and I suspect has the scope to be a complete game changer for the valuation of the company.

Once the news spreads, alot of folk will immediately change their software. Most of the subscriptions aren't long term and hardly cost alot to move to a trustworthy provider. It's clearly all about trust rather than the cost so I'd be wary of buying in here as it could now become profit warning central.

No position here, but only surprised the stock hasn't cratered more - that's institutional fund manglers for you!

[jqb1] 28/1/2020 15:55

True, but if you read the report it contradicts itself.

[prettygreen] 28/1/2020 13:57

Drop may in part due to Peel Hunt initiating coverage with a sell recommendation and target price of 405p ???
