Title: Changed to AVAST Software a.s. ?
Post by: Iso-G on June 06, 2010, 12:07:15 PM

When was the company name changed ?
Anyway, congratulations on the VB100 award   :)

avast! (formerly Alwil) announced the change of its company name as testing got under way - this seemed like a sensible move given the product's brand recognition value.
