Antivirus vendors plan to support Windows 7 post EOL

While Microsoft officially ended support for Windows 7 this month, all of the major antivirus software makers plan to continue supporting their products for the near future.

Although there are a few exceptions, most vendors have confirmed that their products will continue to run on Windows 7 systems for at least two years until 2022 according to the German antivirus testing laboratory AV-TEST which used its connections in the industry to reach out to companies such as Kaspersky, F-Secure, Carbon Black and others.

End of Life, these antivirus products are desperately needed for those who have yet to or are unable to update to Windows 10.
