AVG has been fading into nonexistence for a while now. As soon as it reached that status a few years ago of being one of the most common antiviruses and things started specifically targeting it... the product just became bad. It got worse as an antivirus, a handful of competitors showed up, and they started becoming more aggressive with advertisements. So I'm inclined to agree that it's a last-minute cash grab
I think that the average user will continue using AVG despire popups, browsing history selling and so on.. It's just because the average user doesn't know better. And now, being one of the most common antiviruses, AVG has an easy way to bring in even more profits.
