AVG Security Toolbar no longer features Do Not Track?

I have now uninstalled AVG Security Toolbar, but I'm still running AntiVirus build 4592. I should have disabled program updates after the Summer Update finally produced a bug-free version of AVG 2014.  When will I ever learn?

After running AVG's toolbar uninstaller, I ran AdwCleaner. Here's an abbreviated report of the junk that the uninstaller left behind (true, some obscure registry items might be relics of other PUPs):

As if anyone cares, I was able to update to build 4716 via Control Panel / Uninstall a program / AVG /
Change / Update. Apparently build 4592 (installed May 16) was incapable of updating itself normally. As for AVG Security Toolbar, good riddance! If you would like to know my opinion of AVG 2014, then please increase browser zoom on my avatar.

I'm one of the last voluntary users of the toolbar, but I just noticed that Do Not Track is missing. Apparently the toolbar was updated on June 23. Can anyone think of one good reason not to uninstall the toolbar now? True, it offers a more effective way to delete cookies than scanning with AVG, but I keep my browser set to delete cookies on exit anyway. Any advice on Tracking Protection now that AVG products no longer offer it?

Bruce Sawyer quote 'I just noticed that Do Not Track is missing.... Apparently the toolbar was updated on June 23'....
Bruce, I assume that you are referring to the latest available AVG build version 4714 Small Update 4?. The 'Do Not Track' feature is still shown in the very latest 'Free' & 'Paid for' User Manuals released on June 19. Re AVG Community Support expert reaction / assistance.. They will attend to your posting @ their earliest convenience but please bear in mind it's now the weekend (http://forums.avg.com/ww-en/avg-forums?sec=thread&act=show&id=190509) in Brno, Czech Rep..

Bruce, So when you had updated on June 23 & the 'Do Not Track' was missing did your AVG User Interface actually show what is now the latest version for both 'Free' & 'Paid for' versions l.e. 2014.4714?.

No. As stated above, my AntiVirus build is still 4592. Control Panel showed the toolbar was installed on June 23, 2014. Of course that would have been a scheduled program update - I haven't manually updated anything. I hope users will be warned when AVG 2015 is about to be released so we can all disable scheduled program updates. I don't want to spend another year as an involuntary Beta tester!
