Hey, I don't mean to a shit post on the thread or anything related to that, but I have to let you know this bit of information. The word Avast is actively trademarked and if they feel like you are infringing on their trademark as they do own the word "Avast". They may sue you for the matter and I would suggest changing your company name over from that to something else. <- Just a piece of advice to make sure you don't get sued over it.

I don't believe it would apply in this case, as they're trading as "Avast Team", not "Avast". Trademarks cover the use of that single word but do not apply when formed in a larger name (is my understanding - ie. Apple's trademark wouldn't stop me from incorporating a company by the name of Apple Solutions Team or something stupid like that).

(know this is old, but good to clear it up)
