Of most interest is that they seem to be promising to provide modules and protection systems which will guard against XP vulnerabilities which may be exploited after Apr 8th.
Please read what has already been explained on this thread a million times !

Avast is spouting utter bull, as is any other company promising to protect you after April 8th.

Without Windows being patched up, you are up creek without a paddle. There is absolutely ***NOTHING*** Avast or anybody else can do to protect you against exploits that make use of vulnerable APIs and other aspects of the Operating System itself.... how many times do I have to repeat myself on that point !

Please don't allow them to pull the wool over your eyes with marketing/PR nonsense... for that is all it is.

The only place for XP after the 8th of April is the bin.
