If you’re looking for an anti-virus that can protect your Windows XP computer after end of support, you might want to have a look at Avast! Free Antivirus, an updated security product that received a new version today.

Avast! Free Antivirus 9.0.2017 SP 1 Beta comes with stability and compatibility issues for the stream filtering, with the developing team promising that this feature “is running smooth and fast now, so no more browsing problems.”

The firewall has also received a set of improvements, so it should now be a bit more stable and offer better compatibility with other network applications. “We spent a lot of time analyzing various dumps you provided to us to increase your confidence level,” the company said.

Of course, the new version also comes with lots of bug fixes and performance improvements, so Avast! should now be smoother and more stable regardless of the Windows version currently powering your computer. As mentioned, Avast! will continue to work on Windows XP for at least two more years, so you might want to give it a try if you wish to stick to this unsupported OS version.

Overall, this should be an update that comes in handy to many users, even though it’s a beta version, so download Avast! Free Antivirus 9.0.2017 SP 1 Beta right now to see what’s new.
