PANDA SECURITY CONSUMER ANTIVIRUS SUPPORT LIFECYCLE

Maintenance policy for products and supported versions

In order to offer our clients the most effective, innovative solutions, Panda Security has defined the following product, version and platform maintenance policy. This information can be used by our clients and partners to make implementation plans for their networks well in advance.

This document is for informative purposes only. It may be subject to last-minute modifications not previously defined in the lifecycle policy.

Due to the constant evolution of the malware dynamic, Panda Security needs to continuously change and adapt its products to that they continue to offer maximum protection to our clients. Products, versions and platforms that have reached their EoL might not respond adequately to malware as they will not receive any updates or hotfixes, nor will they be further improved. This can reduce protection capacity or cause the product to malfunction, enter into conflict with third-party software or cause false positives and negatives.
