Operating systems

'Securepoint Anitvirus Pro only supports operating systems currently supported by Microsoft until the end of mainstream support.
This excludes both extended support and systems with paid Extended Security Updates (ESU).
For these and older systems, product updates (which rely on valid Microsoft certificates) and thus up-to-date virus signatures cannot be guaranteed.
Even if operation should be possible, this is not supported by us.
