Do you have any information about this or is it a fake?There is plenty info online if you do a google search
Hello, thank you, I sometimes connect to a search engine, 8), my question was mainly to know if members of the forum had information on the of the quality and free of our favorite AV, I use Avast Free for over 10 years and I am happy
Hello and thank you
Right now, it’s speculation on everyone’s part.
Avast and Norton are prohibited from discussing the issue till it’s resolved.
heu…It’s a little more than speculation

As stated here,
"There can be no certainty as to whether any transaction will take place or the terms on which any Possible Merger may be agreed. A further announcement will be made if and when appropriate. "
Anything we post is speculation.
Maybe from late August the merger product will be behaviour-based.
That is better as signature based product with a lot of FPs.
Will the Avast Freemium formula survive this merger or will it mean partially with more bloatware and more ads?
I have been supportive of avast’s mission all the way, now wondering where this will lead us,
and whether we have to reconsider. What will be AVG’s future seen to this merger?
We won’t get answers until late of August I know, still free to ponder on certain possibilities and outcomes.

I guess ‘free to ponder’ is another way of speculating. 
Hi bob3160,
For me a while without pondering on anything nears, so not further speculate.
As you, my good friend, always seem well informed, you will certainly be the first one to report here,
if anything gets near concretization.

IF the merger were to take place the whole of the Avast community, and users will surely be affected; At this point, No one knows for sure just how.
Many will be following closely. 
Hello friends, what I want to say is that I have been using Avast Free for 11 years and I am completely and totally satisfied with this security system. I accept all the po up and all the commercial proposals that appear on my screen from Avast. It’s normal, nobody works for free! What poses a question to me, is our security future with the future merger. Obviously here also speculations, I indicate you another speculation:

Posting a link to s subscription only service isn’t going to be read by many at all.
The article also has nothing to do with the topic of this thread.
I’m only saying… I wish Avast would NEVER EVER merged or partnership with Norton/Symantec.
Edit:- IF I’m not mistaken since the last CEO left Avast used to work for Norton/Symantec, before Ondrej Vlcek (Vlk) took over as Avast CEO
There is no Norton/Symantec
Symantec’s enterprise security business and name was sold to broadcom in 2019
WOW!! I didn’t know :o however, I STILL HATE Norton product and would NEVER touch it.
Hello.I am not a trader and I have never quoted a commercial link.You just have to click on the link to understand.I am referring to what indicates bob3160 on speculation.I showed that here too we can think of speculation, yet the reality often exceeds the fiction .
I never said you were.
Clicking on the link, effectively does nothing as you can’t get to the article without having subscribed to the Washington Post. Yes, they have a limited free service, but you still have to subscribe to it to be able to read the article. I have absolutely no intent to subscribe just to read this article.
