Avast shuts down its data-selling subsidiary … why is it collecting that data?

I read today this article about Avast. Its shutting down the portion of their company that collected personal data on its users. According to the article, a person quoted as saying that its time. The full title of the article is: Anti-virus firm Avast shuts down its data-selling subsidiary and it was a very interesting read. Wonder why they were selling this data anyway? Collecting it to help their product is one thing, but to sell it, I’m not too fond of. Not without us knowing, in todays computing landscape. Thoughts?
