Windows XP... your days are numbered.

Microsoft support for Windows XP and Microsoft Office 2003 will end in April 2014. Like it or not, it's a serious position for the hundreds of thousands of working systems in homes and businesses to no longer receive security updates. I'm told 30% of the computers used globally are running with Windows XP.

More than the lack of support, it's rumored there will be a massive release of new virus, malware and other network threats from the hacking community knowing XP users will be more vulnerable.

What to do? I suppose a strong firewall and top rated anti-virus anti-spyware anti-malware software suite... but you should be using that already.

Good luck. Don't open any suspicious e-mails.

And remember... Microsoft doesn't call users.
If you receive a call from someone saying they are from Microsoft to tell you that your computer is infected and you need their assistance to fix it is bogus. Yes, bogus.

这是欺诈行为。微软员工不叫客户。如果有人电话你,说他们是从Microsoft,不听他们的。他们是骗子。他们正在寻找容易上当的用户。他们声称你的电脑有病毒。他们会告诉你如何删除病毒。在此之后,他们会窥探您的个人信息。要小心!
