What Is the Gen Stack?

Gen Digital is the name of the company that owns Norton and a raft of other security brands, including Avast, AVG, and Avira. Avast and AVG merged back in 2016, and they’ve used the same antivirus engine for years, but Norton and Avira kept their own technology…until now.

The developers have merged the best of these technologies into a single antivirus engine that they call the Gen stack. New installations of Norton, Avast, and AVG are built on this engine, and existing users will gradually upgrade to the new version. Avira will follow before long. Whether the different antivirus tools using the stack will perform differently remains to be seen.

As most big companies are in todays environment, the business model is squeeze, squeeze and squeeze. Marketing and nothing more. Understanding that when a company ingests one or more others for their tech and obvious market share, one has to recover those expenses. Doing so with a product that isn’t delivering, AND, employing sell-up tactics will bust a bottom line quite quickly.
