antivirus signature update without updating the antivirus itself

[shmpr 0]

Hi

i would appreciate if you answer my 2 questions bellow.

1-Is it possible to get the most recent signatures(2023) on older versions of NOD32 like version 10?

2- considering that NOD32 has reached its end of life, if I update its signatures, would it still be vulnerable?

thanks in advance

While feature updates can be disabled in the advanced update setup, ESET will be upgraded to the latest version once the installed version reaches EOL. According to https://support-eol.eset.com/en/policy_home/product_tables.html, v15 is in limited support and only v16.x is fully supported.

EOL versions eventually stop receiving updates completely so they won't protect you from current threats.
