This refers to 2- and 3-year old technology, specifically versions 2013 and 2014, which are supported for at least another year, with engine and signature updates being delivered until 01.31.2015 and 09.27.2015 respectively.The reason behind this move is twofold. First, the company wants to make sure that its customers benefit from the best protection available.
From this point of view, provided that malware has become more cunning and elaborate, older products are no longer highly efficient in the fight against them.
The second reason is that the company wants to pour as much effort as possible into active development and improvement of the latest version of its protection suites.
Considering all this, Avira will initiate a migration process of the old versions of their products gradually, first for those still using version 2010 of the packages, on July 9, 2013, with an end date set to July 17, for all supported languages and products.
For those with 2012 builds on their systems, the procedure will commence on July 22 and it should end on August 7, 2013.
The entire operation is transparent, with a utility (upgrade assistant) being pushed to users, who have the possibility to decline the upgrade.
Furthermore, the upgrade assistant will only pop for operating systems that are supported by the latest Avira product, which do not include Windows XP SP2 and earlier.
