Why are Windows XP and Windows Vista being moved to Maintenance Mode?
Microsoft stopped supporting Windows XP in 2014 and Windows Vista in April 2017.
Unsupported versions of Windows no longer receive software updates from Microsoft that improve Windows stability and security.
It becomes progressively more difficult for software developers like NortonLifeLock to provide new feature enhancements to unsupported operating systems.
Maintenance Mode means that the Norton client security software installed on Windows XP and Windows Vista will continue to receive certain services, like malware definition updates, but that certain other services, like new product capabilities, will no longer be provided.
Your Norton client security software will continue to receive the latest malware definitions by LiveUpdate.
Your Norton client security software will continue to receive vulnerability updates and compatibility fixes.
You will continue to enjoy the Virus Protection Promise*, if applicable.
What services will stop or change in Maintenance Mode?
Windows Vista Xp Mode
Your Norton client security software will no longer receive the new product updates that the customers on supported versions of Windows (Windows 10, Windows 8, and Windows 7) will receive.
Due to Microsoft, Google, and Mozilla no longer providing browser support for Windows XP and Windows Vista, Norton is no longer supporting the Identity Safe browser plug-in. You will still be able to access your stored passwords through the main service interface or Identity Safe website. Norton will no longer support automatically filling in forms or saving passwords from the browser.
