Avast: Avast to pay $16.5 million to antivirus software users: How to claim, deadline, and other details

Avast will compensate $16.5 million to antivirus users following an FTC settlement for misleading customers on privacy claims. Avast's subsidiary, Jumpshot, covertly sold users' detailed browsing data. The FTC is contacting nearly 3.7 million eligible users who must submit claims by June 2025. Refunds will be processed in 2026, and Avast will cease selling user browsing data.
