As said, I will continue to use my Avast PRO 6 on 2 XP SP3 machines.
just curious, @curious why ?
@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.
