In 2008, Grisoft changed the name of its parent company to AVG, the name already used for its software and for its American subsidiary. It started marketing software directly to consumers in 2006. For a time, the company was focused on bulk sales of antivirus software to computer manufacturers that sold PCs with Grisoft's software pre-installed. Grisoft also expanded to the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Germany, and other countries. Grisoft later expanded to the US market, creating an American company called AVG. Grisoft grew as the country loosened its international trade policies, so it could exchange technology with companies in Europe. Initially, Grisoft sold IT equipment and third-party software, in addition to its own antivirus product.
At the time, Czechoslovakia was starting to transition from communism to capitalism.
AVG Technologies was founded by Tomáš Hofer and Jan Gritzbach in 1990 under the name Grisoft in Brno, Czechoslovakia.
