So Avast includes all AVG technologies but not vice versa?
they are almost identical. Not sure what the real differences are in the latest version
in the previous versions, Avast has Hardened mode aggressive+moderate while AVG only has moderate mode
however, in the latest version, they seem to remove the option to access the Old UI -> which means users can not enable aggressive hardened mode anymore (I heard, haven't tried myself)
