https://blog.avast.com/2015/05/06/support-for-older-avast-windows-consumer-version-will-end/Support for old versions has stopped, however I've not seen any statement that vps updates have stopped for them though.There was (still is?) a problem with the updates starting at 31 march.Although avast said the problem was fixedm it looks like there still is something wrong.https://www.avast.com/virus-update-historyI know Android devices do not get updates, perhaps old versions of avast have the same problem.But using 4.8 on a X64 system ?Come on, get it over and done with and install the latest 2016 version.

As has been mentioned it would appear to be the last VPS update - which I found hard to believe - if it hasn't moved forward from that date. There have been numerous deadlines for end of support for win9.5/9.8, etc. and they used avast 4.9. However, many business systems still used avast 4.8 and this inadvertently meant avast 4.8 (and the 95/98 OSes) support continued. As an avast user like yourself, I have no knowledge if this is the end of support for avast 4.8 or not.

SP3 does NOT exist for XP x64. That thing was based on 64bit Server 2003 and was pretty much a dead end from the very beginning.
