Avast not supporting XP

| I was saddened to read in a recent post that Avast will not support XP after 2009. XP suits me fine so I hate to upgrade. Are there other free, good AV programs that will support XP into the future? Or is there a list somewhere to find this info?
Thanks

| You might look into Microsoft Security Essentials which I am thinking of switching to. Here's a link to a recent thread. |

| Gee, this is news to me and saddens me, too, as I have depended on AVAST! for a long time. Well, since I've been thinking of trying out MSE, mentioned by Bob, I guess I can go that route, and, as long as Microsoft supports XP I'll be okay. |
RE: Avast not supporting XP ?

| Where did OP get this information? I just searched Alwil's website and can find no mention of the free edition not supporting Windows XP at any time. In fact, it still supports Windows 95/98 and ME. So I would like to know if this is really true. |

| Don't see any mention about this anywhere! If it were true it would be all over google and forums... I would think.... |

| nope have not heard any such thing and agree zep it would be on the security forums if they had made that announcement I would think. AVAST has been excellent in continuing support for the older Operating systems so I would not think they would drop xp any time soon. |

| This is from the AVAST home page no mention at all of xp which is what I suspected. Note: The operating systems Windows 95/98/Me/NT4 will be supported until the end of 2009. avast! Home Edition |
