How does Avast’s Home Network Security differ from BullGuard’s IoT Scanner? Or are they completely un-related?

Anyone know?

avast is scanning inside your network
Complete protection is why the developers at Avast Software decided to include a security feature called Home Network Security (HNS) in the new Avast 2015. [b]HNS is all about scanning your router for vulnerabilities and identifying potential security problems that open the door to threats.[/b] Routers are the weakest security point in many home and small business networks these days, so this is a very valid and needed feature.
Appreciate your time.
What do you think about the Shodan Web Scanner, does it create a false impression to users’ paranoia or something Avast would implement one day?
Thank you.
