Well, I believe they well deserved it... no one would give such a huge amount of money if they didn't think GriSoft is good enough.

Of course, their AVG's GUI looks really ugly, but with a touch of a good graphic designer they can make a hell of a good application. Right now, it doesn't look professional, and in the same time it doesn't even look "gamey"... it looks like those old applications from Windows 3.11 which is just a drawback in my humble opinion...

The investment is subject to approval by the competition council of the Czech Republic.  ;D
Hope Alwil have such a money support to get even better...
Software marketing is being more and more concentrated and it's very hard to survive. The big companies are just sweeping the small ones. Only very good ones will stand  8)

Hear hear as churchill said "we shall fight them on the beaches"
But avast motto is we shall fight them all, avast will not kneel, no one will make avast submit, its beating nortons, why some of them are being taken is because they don't have loyal fans.
Avg saids it all promises all then don't perform.

AVAST LIVE FOREVER, avast sell out whoever buys it would ruin it.

Also Neron where did you get your aviater. can I have one. ;D ;D ;D 8) ::) ::) ::) ::) ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

If you want an avatar it's not a bad idea asking S.Z.Craftec about it  ;) ;D ::)

Of course I can... the problem is I have to leave right now (actually I was on my doorstep when I heard a forum notification). Have to pick up my wife from her work place, and after that, when I come back I'll make something for you...  ;)

Cheers !

P.S. Right now it's 3:47 PM here, so let's say in about an hour or hour and a half... is that ok ?

Of course you can... I don't see any reason why you couldn't use it somewhere else... just when asked who made it, send them here, and we will turn them into avast! users, haha ! We will assimilate them  ;D  ;D  ;D

Posted on one forum about could not put the avast avator in, the person who runs it told me to send it to her, within 2 mins it is in there, she asked me do i work for avast i told her no, but best antivirus around she is now changing when she can, from norton to avast. so well done, also well done i now have a moving desktop very inpressive.

AVG antivirus REALLY DOES NOT look professional at all

To me, it doesn't really matter how ugly it looks, as long as they get the job done.  :) Don't judge a book by it's cover.   ;D  But still,AVG with some neat skins could be entertaining. ;D

Yes!They should hire Sasha making skins for avg and he will put links to avast! everywhere(something likeVirus found!Avg can't remove the virus-why don't you try with avast! boot time scan
 ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D 8) ::) ::) ::)
P.S. Or maybe even better
No viruses found during this scan-maybe you are infected-try scanning with avast! :D ;)
