If the AV remained x86, then there wouldn't have been any problems as pretty much everything was already XP compatible and there could just have been parts disabled on some OS, but when there was a mass rebuild and switch to 圆4, many things broke and, let's face it, many people don't use 圆4 version of XP anyway, so. Honestly, though, the biggest change that broke XP compatibility was going from x86 to 圆4. It's a bit sad that there are no longer program updates and that the very latest version supported by XP is a bit buggy on some systems, but on the other hand, we couldn't expect it to work forever. I have Avast Premier on XP with everything turned on and I still get streaming updates. IDK the last version to support Windows 2000 though this might perhaps be bad news for that OS. Other XP users should not be alarmed, because the last version to support XP was actually Avast 18.8, which I have recently used on Vista and it still gets definition updates. Yes, I will be left without new definitions but it has been many years since I had a virus on Windows XP. It is no longer possible to make a new Avast registration, but for now it is possible to register Avast with a free public key for lifetime.Īvast universal key: W11332244H9900A0420-8MRTR8W5 I have managed to install it online but it will probably stop working in a while. The link to download the definitions for 5, 6, 7, 8 no longer shows them. Is it possible to install more up-to-date definitions? This seems to be confirmed in these urls:ĭoes anyone have the 200331-06 definitions as an.
The latest virus definition for Avast 5, 6, 7, 8 is from March 31, 2020.
So I don't want more current versions of Avast that seem to work on Windows XP.īesides that I also use Windows 2000 which is not supported. I only use it to analyze certain files before executing them. I use Avast v.6 Free Edition since I don't need a permanently activated antivirus that slows down my system.
