Icedrake 0 Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Notice how the program in the screenshot for AVG's new system tune-up utility, looks EXACTLY like Auslogics Boostspeed: http://store.v3.co.uk/p13899-avg_pc_tuneup_2011_1-pc. Don't they have anything better to do other than copy a perfectly good program and run it off as their own? Also, compare the descriptions of both programs: AVG: http://www.avg.com/ww-en/avg-pctuneup#tba1 Auslogics: http://www.auslogics.com/en/software/boost-speed/ Notice how alike they both look? Here's a quick screenshot comparison: AVG: Auslogics: Link to post Share on other sites
Moderators DennisD 0 Posted October 11, 2010 Moderators Share Posted October 11, 2010 Either the same person designed and wrote both programs, or there's a wee bit of skulduggery afoot there. Link to post Share on other sites
Aethec 0 Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Maybe someone should tell Auslogics? I mean, I don't see why they would agree on this... Link to post Share on other sites
tomcatonnet99 0 Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Its frustrating when you wish to scan just the one file from the right click context menu .... it scans the entire system environment! Link to post Share on other sites
Chris Wiles 0 Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Maybe someone should tell Auslogics? I mean, I don't see why they would agree on this... It's a re-branded Auslogics product Chris. Link to post Share on other sites
Chris Wiles 0 Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Don't they have anything better to do other than copy a perfectly good program and run it off as their own? The reason why AVG licensed this product from Auslogics was due to Kaspersky regularly bundling TuneUp Utilities with their Internet Security, in UK retail. In the UK, you'll get AVG PC Tuneup 2011 for *free* when you purchase AVG Internet Security 2011. I think this is a UK-only promo though. We'll have it online in the V3.co.uk Software Store by the end of this week, all being well (read: providing AVG delivers!). Chris. Link to post Share on other sites
Ishi 0 Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 I didn't even know that AVG had a tuneup program. Its a copy of the user interface, but I wouldn't say its a "copy" unless I have tried both programs and have compared any similarities or differences, something I won't probably do seriously since I am happy with the tweaking programs I already have.
