Broadcom's SEP RU5 is the final release that supports 32-bit Windows, with the end of service set for the end of 2025. If you're still using a 32-bit operating system and can't migrate to a newer version, what are your plans for antivirus protection?

For those still running Windows 10 32-bit, there are some options like Windows Defender that could work as a basic alternative. Just keep in mind that while EOL issues are real, extended support plans can offer some help, even if you are on an outdated OS.
In our case, we don't use any antivirus on our older Windows systems. We've found that they can sometimes cause more issues than they solve, especially if they're trying to scan files or media transfers that are coming from offline systems. But I know some people still swear by them.
If you're on an unsupported OS like Windows 10, having antivirus might seem pointless. However, if you're stuck in that situation, consider isolating your system on a separate VLAN or even cutting off its network access. That way, you minimize risks while still having some form of protection.
