Avira Product Lifecycle - End of Windows 7 support?

[Ink]

Avira products are developed and maintained with a long-term view. This approach provides our business customers with the security they need to make investments and for planning.

The Avira philosophy is based upon the following:

1. Avira gives notice at least 3 years in advance of the discontinuation of an Avira product or operating system.
2. Avira supports all operating systems 12 months longer, as a rule, than the producer of the operating system.
3. For Microsoft´s operating systems Avira adds 12 months to Microsoft's 'Mainstream Support End Date' for its end of support date.
4. For Apple operating systems Avira supports the last 2 operating system versions.

You can find out which operating system is compatible with the product you require in the relevant product description under "System Requirements".

Does this mean Windows 7 users (home and business) have until January 2018 to use Avira software?

This is also worth analyzing: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/13853/windows-lifecycle-fact-sheet

Extended support for Windows 7 is up until January 14, 2020. Judging by the Avira philosophy, for Microsoft OSs, they consider the "Mainstream Support End Date", which is January 13, 2015. But, they support all OSs, as a rule, 12 months longer than the OS producer, which date should be the extended support date.
Something is really confusing here.

According to site, yes. Looks like Avira users which use Windows 7, after January 13th 2018, will need to replace Avira with any other supported 3rd party antivirus or upgrade to newer, still supported version of Windows.
