Why is the AVG section getting updates before the Avast Section. ???
I noticed a new beta for AVG but nothing for Avast.
I'm beginning to wonder who bought who :)

AVG beta (17.2.3007) is old. It was released just 2 days before Avast beta (17.2.2288).

It isn't new the topic NEW: AVG Antivirus Beta 17.2.3007 (https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=197554.0) was created on 21 February 2017. There have been no edits in the original post, just two replies by a user asking questions.

Unlike avast, there are no notifications of AVG regular release updates in the 'Avast' forums. As far as I'm aware, only the beta testing releases were notified to try and increase the number of beta testers and why it has its own sub-forum https://forum.avast.com/index.php?board=87.0 (https://forum.avast.com/index.php?board=87.0) but no sub-forum for AVG regular release questions. That would look just so strange.
