Are AVG and Avast the same product now?

[QUOTE="Chipicao, post: 882734, member: 87637"] AVG / Avast it's a pure garbage. Their Free protection have a lot of features, why I should buy Premium? It's pure Marketing, most of these features don't work well. Just to encourage or force users upgrading for their (Paid) Premium Solutions. I'm not saying that Avast doesn't detect anything, but please they are first antivirus on the market with a lot of users using it. They sell your data and much more. Say thanks to "their famous free antivirus" all of this people thinks they are good. They aren't good. [B]I never, but never would go buy their Premium products NEVER[/B]. I already saw computers of Family and Friends with AVG/Avast with a lot of Adware / PUP / Malware, that is very funny for a Antivirus who claims to have a lot of features in FREE VERSION. Shouldn't that be able to stop half of them? Hmm.. When I scanned with Hitman Pro and MalwareBytes, RogueKiller tons of malware, PUP installed. Looks like AVG/Avast is not doing that is supposed to do. With ESET, Kaspersky, BitDefender never happened that, of course somethings can be bypassed, they aren't 100% Unbeatable. But with Kaspersky and ESET or BitDefender I never had such problems. Always running smoothly and less malware and PUP on computers of my friends and family. People have a wrong idea of AVG/Avast. Do you know what is funny? When you receive a email of your friend with "Protected with Avast" in Email Signature, and when you receive another message in Social Media from them, spreading virus / suspicious links. Funny isn't? For me, is a BIG NO. Waste of money, I have better alternatives like I mention here. IMO of course. [/QUOTE]
