Personally, I think if they a) are very upfront about this (clearly stated during install) and b) offer a paid alternative then I'd be fine with this. There's actually some synergy if they do things right: you were most likely infected by a site you visited (most likely a malicious ad), so if they also use this data to track sources (which isn't clear) then it could even make for a better product.
Of course if they aren't being clear about the data-for-product swap then I'm not in favor.
