Avast18.8 acting oddly

[NON]

@FranceBB

Supporting a version means not introducing any new feature but still fixing bugs, not just rolling untested definitions updates and hoping for the best.

Well, word meaning varies on people… in any case, “support” is ended already.

End of support for Windows XP/Vista

@DiehardWin98

I don’t recall ever seeing banners like ‘you have 10 security issues’ until recently, so Avast did some tweaks

I believe these are just webpages implanted into GUI, so they didn’t modify programs but webpages.

Also, your screenshot shows Windows Embedded Standard… it’s technically a variant of XP, but I don’t think it’s not officially supported by Avast.

@DiehardWin98

So NON, if you communicate to the developers that Avast18.8 Premier also has this issue, they will be compelled to act on it

I don’t think so unfortunately…

@DiehardWin98

By the way NON, you said you told the developers about vpsupd not working on Avast24.12. I had posted that Avast24.9 was the last version in which it worked. Any news on a fix?

Well, no news for fix… I got following response:

the vps update package is Instup compatible. There is no such functionality (now) for Icarus.

So, it means it won’t work from now on. They also stated that they might reconsider it if there is enough reason or mass demand for it.
