It is advised to take all reviews with a grain of salt. In extreme cases some reviews use dramatization for entertainment purposes.

I recently tested a zero day .cmd malware which Avast didn't detect in default settings but did when the sensitivity was set to high so I'm just curious if anything would change here.

I'm genuinely surprised to see Avast Free blocking my LOLbin inspired ransomware while Kaspersky Free allowed it to execute and encrypt my files.

Is this the end of Ransominator?

Bravo my friend for your test. You gave a reason for the forum to come to life :)

What about AVG free with hardened mode on ? seems its not that strong hardened in AVG .....

If you set avast HM with the new setings is the same level with AVG. If you want stronger mode (aggressive) you must set it from the old settings. On this test is the same lvl like AVG

Feature wise they're not same... I don't think AVG has the Wifi Inspector (it works on wired networks as well).
Something about the Shields seems to be different too.

You should just uploading screenshots of shields settings to prove what you said otherwise that will be endless discussing...;)

Avast has more important features, since Avast bought AVG, it makes no sense using AVG, it's basically the same AV but worse.

Well i have had my problems and bad experience in the past with avast and i don't want it to install anymore on my pc , i still do have a sweet spot for AVG and thats why i prefer AVG over avast.... even now with the same vendor.

Google: Avast vs AVG 2020, very easy.

Just by looking at them, I notice that they have different things showing up, AVG has something going on about "protection against hackers", Avast has other naming for the same thing... I don't care.
Avast already copied the best of AVG's protection to itself, it's a matter of time until it moves the rest and who knows when AVG will disappear, I think it's still around only because of its very popular name.
