avast! 4.8 virus definition update support
« on: April 20, 2014, 05:10:16 AM »
Hello,
 
I recently found an old HP computer in my basement, and I found it was running avast! 4.8 free. When I tried to update, the update was actually sucessful. So that brings me to my question. How long will avast! be providing virus definitions for this product?

Just update to the latest version, it runs smooth on XP.

That isn't my question. I am wondering when virus definition updates for version 4 will cease.

IDK, it has been postponed a few times, but it'll happen sooner or later.

If possible, can you or another moderator supply at least an approximation as to what date they will end on?
