Which Antiviruses are Known for a Fact to be Working on XP SP3 as of 2019?

[AstroSkipper]

And to reject MWAV - eScan Antivirus Toolkit as one of the few, free, up-to-date antivirus offline scanners for Windows XP due to font preferences speaks against all reason and for itself.

well if it's a virtual system I could not care less about it being ''untouched without anything integrated in it.''

I know, but I like it this way, even if it's a virtual machine.

BTW, to mention here tests of recent Bitdefender and Avast versions is absurd and not helpful at all. Both have not supported Windows XP for a long time. The last, XP-compatible version of Avast, for example, is from 2018. Anyway! This thread is about antivirus or security programs that still target the Windows XP operating system.

Thanks for the information! I know you mentioned K7 in a previous post. Unfortunately, both suggested programs are commercial. No free versions available. Seqrite doesn't seem to support Windows XP in its new versions 8.x, only in the old ones 7.x. And I can't see any products for home users. Or did I miss anything? BTW, both, K7 and Seqrite, are totally unknown here in Germany, and presumably, in other European countries, too.

"Segrite" is the brand name of the corporation that targets the Enterprise market ; Home Users are being targeted through Quick Heal:

All these are paid-for products, because dedicated coders do need to make a living ... Some free tools are also offered:

Yes, never heard of them before. 

OT. I was shocked the legendary German (Frisian?) WinHEX and all it can do is not yet well discovered, even by senior members.

I too always recommend German software/goods as I find them to be one of the best.

Unfortunately, I don't know any German-made antivirus for XP or Vista. Panda is Spanish, I think.

Anyways, with German software one would need to make sure it's made by the Germans, since many software makers just registered there and

the workers are not of Germanic origin.

G Data and AVIRA are made in Germany but they don't support XP and Vista anymore in their recent versions. Most manufacturers of antivirus programs operate worldwide. The head office is in one country, with offshoots, branches and subsidiaries in many other countries. And antivirus programs often have several scan engines, which in turn are manufactured in other countries. So it's all quite confusing.

Not only, some of those workers, even those with no less than 15 generations certified Germanic origin may be communists (openly or secretly).

Stop making Cold War Joke when Cold War 1.0 is over , 2.0 will soon begin so get your popcorn before Taiwan Saga

[jaclaz]

It wasn't a Cold War joke, it was a warning to those that need or want to be really-really sure that they can trust the makers of the antivirus.

I guess that those people will need besides the basics (genealogy trees, blood exams and DNA analysis) also a written declaration about political views (and maybe also religious beliefs) of all workers involved.
