DONE - we stopped releasing of new virus definitions for the old versions 9/10/11 (aka 2014/2015/2016) a week ago. The product will still work but will not be able to catch the new threats. The product UI will start complaining about the outdated virus database. We launched a campaign to show the reason in the product UI - at the banner. But we are almost unable to test it as those build are so old...

Dinobot2:
So by the current version numbering system, Versions 9, 10, and 11 are really versions 14, 15, and 16?

igor:
If you're asking about the release dates, the first build of version 9 was released in October 2013, version 10 in October 2014, and version 11 in November 2015 (followed by version 12 in June 2016).
There were no versions 13-16, version 17 was released in February 2017.

Dinobot2:
Yeah, pretty much. I just noticed that now the releast version number actually corresponds to the month and year it was released, which looks like was started in 2017.
