How to keep Windows XP SP2 safer after Microsoft stops patching | |
|

Maybe you didn't get the memo: Tomorrow marks the end of patches for Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2). And you're still running the nearly-six-year-old edition. But XP SP2 won't shudder to a stop. Although Tuesday marks the support retirement of the service pack -- a date that some have called a "red alert" for people running SP2 -- that doesn't mean your copy of Windows will suddenly refuse to run. It does mean that, after tomorrow, Microsoft will not offer any security patches, no matter how severe the vulnerability, no matter what part of Windows or associated component is involved. No more Windows patches -- and no more patches for Internet Explorer (IE), no patches for Windows Media Player, no patches for Outlook Express. | ||

| How to keep Windows XP SP2 safer - install SP3. The article writer even says this. So why bother with the article? Is he getting paid per-click? Per word? Waste, really. |
