Avast is one of the world’s most popular antivirus software companies. Founded in 2004, the company has developed a wide range of software products to protect users’ computers. Avast announced in February 2018 that it would be selling its email security and privacy business to Symantec for $1.3 billion.

A few months later, in May 2018, the company announced that it was exiting the online security market, selling its consumer and small business products to F-Secure. In a press release, the company stated that it was focusing its resources on its core antivirus and security products.

Is Avast Out of Business?

Avast is definitely out of business. The company announced in February 2018 that it would be selling its email security and privacy business to Symantec for $1.

In May 2018, the company announced that it was exiting the online security market, selling its consumer and small business products to F-Secure. This confirms that the company is no longer focusing on the online security market.
