#Avast free antivirus for windows vista install

If you have a current install of compatible Norton on the Vista machine it will go into ' maintenance mode' and will still be better protected than running 'freeware' that will leave you open to more nonsense I noted in that thread that I'm not a fan of Avast's business practices but as far as I know it's one of the few free or paid antivirus products that still runs on Win XP and Vista. See my comments in JohnJames599's Oct 2020 thread Best Antivirus about the legacy version of Avast v18.8. I purchased a lifetime (perpetual) license for Malwarebytes Premium many years ago, but Malwarebytes stopped selling these lifetime licenses in March 2014 so you would have to pay for an annual subscription. Just note that the real-time Ransomware Protection feature in MB Premium can't be enabled on these older operating systems. See the Malwarebytes FAQ Malwarebytes Support for Legacy Windows XP and Vista Operating Systemsfor more information. My Vista SP2 test machine is rarely connected to the internet these days but I use Malwarebytes Premium v3.5.1 (the legacy version for Win XP and Vista, available at ) for my real-time protection on that machine and it still receives regular malware definition updates.
