It's just the linux userbase for their software is probably considerably smaller than their windows userbase, so they surely don't invest too much time/money re-inventing the software every year just like they (and all other antivirus companies) do with their windows software.

there are a lot of malicious code are born from 2013 until today, so AV must be update to detect them,
its better to say AVG linux product is a dead project and it is a good idea to use it for fun!

| Posted by Andei, 04-27-2015, 03:21 PM | | I'm not debating here if CLAM or LMD are better or not, maybe they are maybe they aren't, I'm just contradicting this statement of yours:
"there are a lot of malicious code are born from 2013 until today, so AV must be update to detect them"
If the virus definitions have been updated regularly since then, it doesn't matter if the software was released in 2013, it will be able to detect the new threats.

|
| Posted by Andei, 04-28-2015, 07:15 AM | | Well, considering they're doing a pretty good job on windows, if I were to run linux on my personal computer then I'd give their linux version a shot, yea.
