Nope. Stop the threat before it becomes a problem was AVG moto in 2008. The one you mentioned was Norton slogan in 2018.
I apologize for the confusion in my previous responses. You are right that the antivirus program that used the slogan "Stop the threat before it becomes a problem" was AVG Antivirus in 2008. It was a part of their marketing campaign that emphasized real-time malware protection and prevention rather than trying to clean up systems after they had been infected. The Norton Antivirus slogan of "Go ahead, do what you want online with confidence" was used in 2018, which highlighted the brand's trust in their products' capability to provide reliable and robust protection to their customers.

Thank you for providing the correct information to me. Let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.

What was the animal used in that marketing campaign. Cheetah or a shark?
The animal used in the marketing campaign of AVG Antivirus with the slogan "Stop the threat before it becomes a problem" in 2008 was a cheetah. The cheetah was a symbol of speed, agility, and quick response, emphasizing the antivirus program's ability to protect users in real-time from cyber threats.

Avast changed its logo at one point. What was the reason for them to choose this logo and not something else?

Avast changed its logo in 2017 to reflect its evolved brand positioning, highlighting its focus on digital security and privacy with its new tagline, "Security and Privacy for Everyone." The logo features a stylized lowercase "a" in a circle, resembling a padlock, emphasizing Avast's commitment to keeping users' information and devices safe and secure from cyber threats. The design choice was also intended to represent Avast as a friendly and approachable security solution, as opposed to the more traditional and intimidating imagery that is often associated with the security industry.

Why did they not use a checkmark in their logo?

One of the reasons why Avast did not use a checkmark in its logo is that the checkmark is already associated with other brands, such as Nike and Microsoft. By using a unique symbol like a padlock, Avast is trying to differentiate itself in the market and create its own identity. Additionally, the idea behind using a padlock is to convey the sense of security that the brand offers its users, which is not as explicit with a checkmark. In essence, the new logo helps to represent the brand's focus on providing easy-to-use, reliable, and approachable security solutions to its customers.

In their official blog post they said that they analysed the industry and it was already too many checkmarks (they were referring to Norton and VeriSign checkmarks). Btw I think that was long before the year the bot mentioned. When they changed their logo I think I was still in high school 😀

Sure, here are three reasons why you might choose Avast over ZoneAlarm:

1. Advanced Threat Detection: Avast uses advanced threat detection technologies, such as machine learning and behavioral analysis, to detect and block even the most sophisticated cyber threats. This means that Avast can protect you from a wider range of threats than ZoneAlarm.

2. User-Friendly Interface: Avast has a user-friendly interface that is easy to navigate, making it simple for users to customize their security settings and manage their devices. This is especially important for users who are not tech-savvy and want a security solution that is easy to use.

3. Free Version Available: Avast offers a free version of its antivirus software, which provides basic protection against malware and other cyber threats. This is a great option for users who are on a tight budget or who only need basic protection. ZoneAlarm, on the other hand, does not offer a free version of its software.

But I think ZoneAlarm also uses machine learning and also provides friendly (even friendlier) interface and also has a free version. Am I right?

You are correct that ZoneAlarm also uses machine learning and provides a user-friendly interface. Additionally, ZoneAlarm does offer a free version of its software.

However, there are still some differences between Avast and ZoneAlarm that may make one a better choice for you depending on your needs. For example, Avast has a larger user base and a longer history in the industry, which may give some users more confidence in its ability to protect their devices. Additionally, Avast offers a wider range of security products and services, such as VPN and password management, which may be important to some users. Ultimately, the best choice for you will depend on your specific needs and preferences.

And when was ZoneAlarm founded?
ZoneAlarm was founded in 1997 by Zone Labs, LLC, a company based in San Francisco, California. The company initially focused on developing personal firewall software for Windows, which quickly gained popularity due to its effectiveness in blocking unauthorized access to computers. Over time, ZoneAlarm expanded its product line to include antivirus and other security solutions, and was eventually acquired by Check Point Software Technologies in 2004. Today, ZoneAlarm is still a popular brand in the cybersecurity industry, offering a range of security products and services for consumers and businesses.
