Hi everyone!

I've only just read that AVG has been bought out by AVAST!   Therefore, would you please answer the following queries:-
1.-  How will this changeover affect your customers?.
2.-  Am I correct in thinking that this website called AVG will disappear and we will all automatically be changed- over to the AVAST website?.
3.-  My renewal for Internet Security is due towards the end of November and since the finalities of the transactions between AVG and AVAST  will most likely have been completed by then, does this mean that, unless I renew early, I will be switched over to do so with the AVAST website?

Look forward to your replies.

Thanks Alan and Kishore, but i'm not sure i fully understand this i.e. if AVAST is acquiring AVG surely that would mean that the AVG website would be no longer???  (or am i misunderstanding something here?)

Linda, Apparently the expected closure of the deal seems to be the end of September. AVG should know more about what exactly is changing and how both organizations merge soon after that…
