Hello & I would like to have some idea of when updating of cyber security products will discontinue as far as the Windows 7 operating systems. I know that Microsoft will discontinue extended support in January, 2020.
Thanks for any information you could provide me.
Seems to become a severe proplem to you. I mean, you have time enough to decide, which os you will install instead of W7. As you can see in my sig, I’m always gathering experiences from XP to W10.
Do you have an answer to my question or is it that no one knows or has any idea?
Only Avast can say when support for Windows 7 will occur.
We users can only take notice of the continued support for winXP many, many years after Microsoft dropped support. Official support for XP/Vista in the form of Avast has only officially ended this year, the last program version for XP/Vista is avast 18.8 see, https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=220639.0 to get some idea of just how long after Microsoft drop support.
Even then XP/Vista users on 18.8 can still get virus definition updates, so there is still limited support after that deadline. Mentioned in the topic link that I gave, there may also be the possibility of some future program updates for avast 18 (the last supported program version).
So, based on the above, the end of support for windows 7 by avast is likely to be some reasonable time in the future.
