On the developer's websites, you will most often find only the latest version of the antivirus, and your old operating system Windows system XP can easily become incompatible with modern software.

Why not install the inconvenient Eight for the sake of a single antivirus? You can visit alternative sites, which include previous versions programs. For example, the completely reliable resource Majorgeeks.com.

The antivirus does not install, despite the fact that you tried to run installers taken from different sources? Then you need to ask the following question: is it impossible to run only one specific antivirus or does none at all want to work on your computer?

First check Windows firewall and network settings. It is quite possible that you have very strict access limits and the system simply does not allow software from suspicious sources. And for Microsoft, any manufacturer is suspicious if they have a name other than Microsoft.

Depending on the Windows versions A specific antivirus program is required. This needs to be clarified immediately on the website from where you are going to download the installer. Please review carefully system requirements. For normal installation antivirus may simply not be enough random access memory or free space on your hard drive.

Files from a previously removed antivirus remain on the system

So serious antivirus programs, like Avast, AVG, Norton, are not easy to install on your computer, but even more difficult to remove. When you try to remove some antiviruses, deep mutual connections in the registry are severely broken and this can even lead to complete failure of the computer.
