As said, I will continue to use my Avast PRO 6 on 2 XP SP3 machines.
Today I was victim of a FORCED upgrade to version 7.
Please stop this.
:'(
Edit: I had a fresh Ghost image so version 6 is already back, but please do not
repeat this, I repeat: Do not repeat this.
This is my computer...
Edit2: Just downloaded the manual VPS update. Didn't run because of old version. What the heck have been done all of a sudden???

@Pondus: Nå er jeg fly forbanna. Kjøpte 2 års lisens for noen måneder siden.
Dette er utrolig dårlig gjort og jeg vil følge det opp.
Back to your question: (from some norwegian language comments):
On my 2 XP machines version 6 runs much smoother and is less bloated than 7.
I wouldn't have buyed 7 on these because for me 6 is much better and less bloated
and not 'work in progress' as IMO 7 (is)/has been. The 6 version is so stable
and predictable as can be.
And for my own curiousity:
Why do this without any form of warning, end of life warnings a couple of
years before EOL. At this point Avast has much to learn from Avira and their
EOL-policy clearly written on their sites.
More curiousity from me:
Why no response from Avast?
I still choose to believe that this is a misunderstanding.
It can't be true.:(
Even the downloadable VPS update does not work, and I have a paid license of
a product released ONE year ago and can't update it.

The last stable version of v6 is still supported (6.0.1367). The previous versions are not, and install automatically the latest build of v7.
Thanks

Thanks for answer, but then I need a link to the supported PRO 6.0.1367. I am at 6.0.1289.
Thanks for letting me use my 2-year PRO licenses. :)

Thanks, but I need the PRO version.
Perhaps you can dig in your archives and send it to me. :)
I have searched for it, but only a lot of warez sites. I have 2 valid PRO licenses.

He needs the PRO version. ;)
Once the license file is added it will become the Pro version.

Are you sure about this,
yes :)

I would also ask, are you sure? :)
Once the license file is entered into avast! Free, the packages for the missing features are downloaded - and only the latest packages are on the servers, so this edition upgrade IMHO always updates the program to the latest available version simultaneously; it's not possible to do and keep the old version.

Thanks Igor for clarifying.
Could you or somebody from Avast send me a link to a supported 6 PRO version. Please.
:)
Using MSE now for a whole day is enough, especially when having a valid license for Avast PRO
