I guess any settlement would include the removal of what had to be an embarrassment to Avira.
After a lack of response from Avira through other media, telephone and emails, the avast blog and other sources started to get legs and the CEO of Avira effectively had to visit the avast blog, to attempt to justify (but never did) what they were doing only to say they deleted the avast.eu domain name, case closed.
That if anything made me mad as the redirection was still happening at the time of his post, so I pointed that out so it was hardly case closed. Not to long after that post the redirection ceased and the original blog and comments were removed.
I too feel that the original should blog and comments should have remained albeit locked as multiple other sources linked to that blog. Anyone visiting the original link would only get a custom 404 error and wonder about why it was removed, censored, etc.
All in all not a good situation.
