[QUOTE="rain2reign, post: 951119, member: 88069"] They're trying to buy them all up, if they can't compete them out of the market. Some enterprise companies and stakeholder companies have tried to buy them as well in the past. Fortunately, there are still enough other European players around: [LIST=1] [*]F-secure - Finland [*]G-Data - Germany [*]Bitdefender - Romania [*]Kaspersky Labs - Russian Federation [*]Dr. Web - Russian Federation [*]Eset - Slovakia [*]Sophos - United Kingdom [/LIST] These are just the onces I remember and not acquired by another company as far as my limited Knowledge goes. Oh, there is also Panda Security from Spain, but that company got acquired by WatchGuard Technologies from Seattle, USA. I'm curious about something, however the article says "UK-Based Avast PLc(AVST.L)", but isn't the company from- and based in Prague, Czech Republic (as well as AVG now too)? I know they're dual-listed in the London stock exchange (LSE) and Prague stock exchange (PSE). Anyone knows more about on how this fits? Does that mean that they're only interested in the physical branch located in the UK? [/QUOTE]
