Has a final decision been made about EOL for Malwarebytes v3.5.1 (the legacy version for Win XP and Vista)? I checked the support article Malwarebytes for Windows v3 Product Lifecycle today and dates for End of Life / End of Support for Malwarebytes v3.5.1 are still blank. The team is currently reviewing that and should update it in the future. As said, the documentation simply needs updating. ATMs, Hospitals, Airports, Factories, Doctor/Dentist/Lawyer offices, etc.).

Running Windows XP or Vista at this point in time with or without Malwarebytes isn't going to make a lot of difference. I would hope that Malwarebytes would have given us a bit of notice before they stopped delivering malware definition updates to Win XP and Vista users, if that's what they've done.ĭell Inspiron 5584 * 64-bit Win 10 Pro v22H2 build 19045.2604 * Firefox v111.0.0 * Microsoft Defender v.6-00.2 * Malwarebytes Premium v 4.5.24.248- * Macrium Reflect Free vĭell Inspiron 15 5584, Intel i5-8265U CPU, 8 GB RAM, 256 GB Toshiba KBG40ZNS256G NVMe SSD, Intel UHD Graphics 620 Edited Maby lmacri I just suggested to someone in another forum that they should try a MB Free v3.5.1 Threat Scan on their Win XP SP3 machine just in case their Avast antivirus missed something.

I just checked the product lifecycle page at Malwarebytes for Windows v3 Product Lifecycle and it still indicates that the legacy v3.5.1 product for Win XP and Vista has not reached "End of Maintenance".
