New Update Avg/Avast plays April fools day joke when opening of GUI.

Thought the update servers got hacked! This was a good one!

It's great to see AVG/Avast showing a sense of humor. It's a nice break from the usual serious tone of antivirus software.

Please tell me where did AVG hurt you? Are you implying you have never had any fun in life? Life is too short to be up-tight you need to have fun every now and then. This prank took a developer less than 1 minuet to do if even...... Highly doubt it took away from any protection abilities, actually i have seen an improvement in AVG/Avast phishing/website protection after I complained. May i also comment and say that Avast was once a media player back in 2007-2008 now look at the growth..... They are defiantly not failing besides the data scandal but both products are now owned and operated by norton.

I have to agree here. I have to be serious most of the time, so a little something to smile about and play around with is welcome.
