Avast is acquiring AVG in a $1.3 billion deal

07 July, 2016
If you are currently using a free antivirus solution, chances are either Avast or AVG is lingering in your task bar, as we speak. Both are pretty powerful all-round solutions, but do tend to target slightly different markets - a fact that vouches well for the $1.3 billion acquisition deal that was announced today.

            There are a few things you could do without using an antivirus. Just don't blindly click any link you see on any webpage and don't visit any porn site!
