Compare that to the scare ware tactics of AVG/Avast. I was using Avira before installing SEP and was very happy with it. No muss no fuss and pretty much set and forget.

AVG ultimate anyway has none of these scare tactics i'v been using them for a year. AVG has removed all of that but avast and norton are still horrible.

Hot Take Thread 'Avira, AVG, Avast, BullGuard will combination in future!! (Maybe)'

The Avira EPP SDK 1.0.2509 beta version completely overturns the above view, because this version enabled Avast's core local signature library engine, algo64. This algo64 is the new engine launched after Avast acquired AVG, integrating Avast technology, but it is not the original AVG engine, and the signature libraries are not the same.

First, Avast's algo64 engine is referred...
