Why Avast still keeps AVG software?

[QUOTE="XLR8R, post: 929342, member: 85385"] This is not a bug. AVG's "main" GUI only updates the definition timestamp once or twice a day, while it keeps downloading the streaming updates throughout the day. Once or twice in a day it will combine the downloaded streaming updates into a consolidated package. When this happens, the timestamp will usually show a couple of hours to a day before the current time as the last update - because it takes the timestamp to be the first released update of that day. AFAIK Avast does the same thing (they're literally the same program). What would be wrong is if your AVG program started saying it was days old instead of hours. [/QUOTE]
