Ah, apparently most people did not opt in.
According to Vice, anyway, Avast only put that opt-in page into their AV product after they got caught spying thought their browser plugins (which led to the removal of those plugins from the Chrome and Firefox stores until they updated them to stop the spying).
So, I think that Avast still looks pretty dirty here.
