Is there a respected AntiVirus and software firewall app that doesn't invade your privacy? [closed]

I recently purchased ESET's AV and firewall software suite. I know it to be a respected app but when reading the license while installing they made it clear that they will collect not only information about infections on your machine but all of your installed software and settings. They then go on to vaguely promise to keep it as reasonably private as possible.

"If you are concerned about an automatic process traversing all of your files and analyzing them to the last bit:

Do Not use AV software!

The vendor does not matter, because they have to do this to detect sequences of bits ""somewhere"" in your computer"
