Attention Windows XP Users

On April 8, 2014, Microsoft will be ending its support for Windows XP. This means that Windows XP will be left open and vulnerable to any future attacks.

In the past, hackers found security holes and exploits that would allow them to  stealing your valuable information. In the past, Microsoft protected you with security patches. From April 8 on, however, these patch updates will no longer be released. That means any new holes or exploits will remain forever.

If you are a home user, your personal information — along with anything else stored on your computer — could become accessible to anyone knowing how to exploit these security holes. As such, it’s very important that you upgrade to any operating system later than XP. This includes Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8.

If you run a business that has computers running Windows XP, it could mean the end of certain security certifications. Running a computer with XP will soon become a liability. If your business relies on storing the information of customers and clients, this data could be easily available to hackers capable of exploiting new found security holes in your systems!

A quick call is all it takes to make sure you have everything you need to keep your computers running safe and secured. Call us at 570-235-1946 or visit our Contact Page
