Norton uploading personal files for analysis without permission that contain passwords etc

I don’t have any proof of files being uploaded but I posted my personal observation a while back about the significant increase in outbound (upload) traffic to Avast sites since v24 installed on my computers. This is based on my router’s traffic logs. I don’t know what’s going out but am not comfortable being in the dark. I turned off the email scanner but that didn’t make a difference. I never enabled the browser extensions (Norton’s web safe and safe search) so I know those aren’t involved. Anyone else notice an increase in outbound traffic to Avast servers after install of the newest N360 version? - #2 by bjm
