About Alwil Software

Alwil Software is a Czech-based company, established in April 1991.
Alwil Software products were in development and have been on the market in the former Czechoslovakia
since 1988, though, during that time only available in the Czech language.
Alwil Software specializes in security software, with avast! antivirus being the flagship
product line. During the lifetime of the product line, avast! products have become
both award winning, and number one in a number of key markets, as well as increasing
market share year-on-year since first international release.
Alwil Software is developed entirely in-house at our offices in Prague 10 in the
Czech Republic, although we also collaborate with many other people around the world
who can offer us the specialist security, process and translation skills we need
to meet our customer's quality expectations.
Alwil Software continues to grow, as does our product line. We now cover everything
from U3 Devices to servers, and just about everything in between, backed up by a
team of talented security specialists who are dedicated to making our products the
best, to protect your data and programs. Avast is living proof that you don't have
to be in Silicon Valley to make a successful software company.
Alwil Software formalized its partnership with Niche Konsult Limited during September 2006.
