AVG 18.8 versions won't receive security updates anymore but definition updates. There is a significant difference. 2

AVG 18.8 versions won't receive security updates anymore but definition updates. There is a significant difference. BTW, Avast and AVG are almost the same. Now one and the same company, so what applies to Avast also applies to AVG. I know both of them very well. I used them for years. That's why I didn't mention AVG here at all.

AstroSkipper Posted March 23, 2023 Posted March 23, 2023 We all can test a lot. But AVG 18.8 is definitely supported under Windows Vista. Following approximating equation has to be evaluated by the Boolean value of true: Avast 18.8 ≈ AVG 18.8 3

While what you said can sound true, showing a screenshot with the application installed and running on Windows Vista is better, since it proves it. Edited March 23, 2023 by mina7601 2

Not only does it sound good, but it also values an actual true statement. But verifications of statements can of course always be carried out and won't harm, anyways.

legacyfan Posted March 23, 2023 Posted March 23, 2023 panda antivirus is also a good option https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.pandasecurity.com/en/mediacenter/panda-security/panda-security-the-best-antivirus-protecting-windows-xp/%3famp=1 its been discussed alot on here 1
