Title: Avast free vs. 8
Post by: REDACTED on December 15, 2016, 12:32:47 PM

Hi,

is it still possible to get AVAST free engine in version 8 for download?

YES, I know: too old etc. But I'd like to install it on an old XP (32 bit) for two reasons:

(1) Can't install newest engine, it stops with an error.

(2) It does work brilliantly with my 64 bit XP in the past (which also gave some issues with newer Avast engines)



Many thnx.
Lillebror

If the CPU supports the SSE2 instruction set, the latest avast version will work.
If SSE2 is not supported, the 2015 version will work.
