[QUOTE="Faybert, post: 923151, member: 58452"] It was not a surprise for me to sell Avira, It had been showing for years that I didn’t want to fight in the AV market anymore, look at their interface, thousands of users for years asked for a new, modern and responsive interface, they kept quiet and stayed for that very reason, what about Luke Filewalker? I remember once an ex-employee of them saying that it was Avira's cancer, but that the team cared little about that problem, because it would take work to "disappear" with him, because the program code was complex, old ( confused) and kind of had to redo it from scratch almost creating a new antivirus, that was very disheartening for the team, who knew that the AV would remain stagnant due to the lack of vision of the owners, stuck to a backward interface and with codes of 10 years ago without updating, because people up there did not want to have expenses and headaches with a radical change, because they taught that the program was good enough to continue like this, with time the path was clear, if they put the sale on, the insistence on the mistake of thinking that everything was fine and the non-modernization of the program was expensive. My surprise was that Norton bought it, it makes me think that they had been trying for a long time to find a way to add new possibilities / technologies to Norton, since they already have a good customer base, a super light AV, good signatures, an excellent BB, firewall etc, in short .. A solid AV. Finally, I hope that Norton makes good use of Avira technologies, if it knows how to unite the two forces (yellow side and red umbrellas) it will be another level. [/QUOTE]
