Are Avast And Avg The Same. Avast acquired AVG but still maintains it as a separe product, altough they're pretty much the same. Are AVG and Avast the same thing?
Both Avast and AVG antivirus software had pretty much the same features, and all of them were extremely potent every known or unknown virus or other threat on the internet. Ever since Avast acquired AVG they have been merging the products in terms of core technology. The AVG and AntiVir installers do not require you to enter an e-mail address for they will automatically generate a license key.
You should never, ever, EVER run two antivirus programs at the same time!
Avast and AVG share the same antivirus scanning engine, so equal scores from both providers shouldn't be a shock.
I used AVG for years, then experienced update problems many months ago. When it comes to Antivirus programs, the same is the case. I did, but got the same message again.
