Now it is time for ALWIL Software. With over 100 million registered users of its avast! antivirus applications, the company is changing its name to AVAST Software as of June 1, 2010.
About time too, This may clear up some of the posts I see from Noob's about the name difference. Personally I never liked the "ALWIL" name anyway....sounds to much like a virus.
