End of support for Windows XP/Vista

MartinZ:
Beginning on December 1, 2018, new Avast/AVG Antivirus products will no longer be delivered for the Windows XP and Windows Vista operating systems.  As customer demand grows for Windows products for Windows 7 and other new versions,  demand for products that support Windows XP and Vista decreases.  In order to receive new feature releases of the Avast/AVG antivirus software, users will be required to update their Windows operating system.

This means that as of  December 2018, existing users on the Windows XP or Windows Vista OS will remain on version 18.8 or older rather than migrating to version 19.1 scheduled to be released in December of 2018. However, please note that all Windows XP and Vista users will continue to receive virus definitions updates from the Avast Threat Labs database after this date and Avast/AVG Antivirus versions 18 and older will continue to work as usual providing full protection,  but will not receive regular automatic updates of new program versions with new features.

Installers for Windows XP/Vista:

Martin, what about Avast Business Antivirus? Do you know deadline for XP and Vista?

MartinZ:
For business versions it will be the same, it should be announced in the Business section on forum soon

Thank you!

Glad to know what Avast is planning. I was getting tired of once a month or so major program upgrades, even though for the most part, they worked just fine.
