Avast announced they will no longer provide updates for Win 7 users. I'm wondering how people will handle this - just keep running with old versions or switch from Avast to something else.

"Beginning on January 1, 2026, new Avast/AVG Antivirus products will no longer be delivered for the Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 operating systems...existing users on the Windows 7, Windows 8 or Windows 8.1 OS will remain on version 25.12 or older rather than migrating to version 26.1 "
