Why Avast still keeps AVG software?

[QUOTE="BVLon, post: 863889"] AVG was always mediocre on tests. It wasn't only the Ewido they acquired. It was also the ExploitPreventionLabs, which became the basis of their link scanner and Norton AntiBot by Sana Security, later renamed to AVG Identity Protection. They also acquired their Spam filter from some company whose name I can't remember/ Despite of all the technologies they acquired, their results on tests were never great. Even today, if I download AVG or Avast and I test them against that malware pack in MH, I bet they will do worse even than TrendMicro, that failed miserably. But this is just a guess. [/QUOTE]
