Here is the answer I received from Deborah Salmi of Avast Software when I asked her about this new “partnership”.
“This release was published by Remo as AVAST is a beneficial brand for their customer base.
We are pleased to be able to provide trusted antivirus protection, and look forward to working with Remo as a new partner.”
This should answer most questions as to what that press release is all about. 
Seems promissing. Something in the line of cleaning and privacy.
Hint: take a look on SD Maid Cleaner. Deeper cleaner very safe and wise.
Backup (cloud and local)… I foresee a very bright feature for this couple
Sounds promising and good. Looking forward to the partnership and the things to come
