after doing a little bit of research I found this page by AVG (a subsidiary of avast) https://www.avg.com/en-us/windows-xp-antivirus#android which is the windows xp support page for avg antivirus as well as the download for the last version on windows xp (it only get security updates thou)

That's not correct, unfortunately. 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.

it was not listed on the list of supported os on the page I found so I assumed it did not support vista anymore 

No, don't worry, it is supported. I can test it for you if you want.

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 

Thanks for the Boolean value. 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.

You're welcome! Not only does it sound good, but it also values an actual true statement. smilie_denk_24.gif But verifications of statements can of course always be carried out and won't harm, anyways. :P

This is a very good idea! ssupercool2.gif Maybe, there is more antivirus outside for all desperate Windows XP users (and I don't mean me). total-lol.gif
