Avast for linux ver.1.3.0


I use a linux USB stick with avast installed to cleanup windows machines.
The last virus definition update i get is 3/3/17.
This is July.
Is avast still offering updates?

Avast for linux

I've already been there and found no real hope.
Is there by chance a paid version of avast for linux that is still supported?
