Beginning October 1, 2024, all Avast/AVG Antivirus products are no longer tested on Windows XP operating systems. While official support for our products on XP has ended some time ago, users of older Avast versions (18.8 and older) have still received virus definition updates. However, we can no longer guarantee that these updates will be free from unexpected issues, as we are discontinuing our testing on Windows XP.
We will continue to release virus updates for these old AV versions, but using them will be at your own risk. We strongly recommend upgrading to a newer operating system, as Windows XP has not been supported by Microsoft for quite some time.
May the force be with you!
Tech details :
** Affected users - AV versions 18.8 and older*
** Affected operating systems - Windows XP*
