Protect your PC when Windows XP shuts down

Shea Conner | St. Joseph News-Press

Microsoft will stop providing security for Windows XP on April 8.

Although the current Windows 8 advertising campaign uses the Sara
Bareilles song â€œBraveâ€ in its commercials, itâ€™s the users who are
clinging to one of its older operating systems who should take the
songâ€™s advice to heart.

On April 8, many computer owners around the world will face unknown
dangers when Microsoft stops providing automatic updates, bug fixes and
security patches for Windows XP.

CNET.com reports that 29.5 percent of Internet-connected PCs continue to
use a version of the XP operating system.

"Face unknown dangers..." Like what, Klingons?

XP is close to 15 years old and Microsoft several years ago announced
its plans regarding the end of automatic bug fixes and patches. It's
time to move on.

How is that kool ade?

Your machine is not going to burst into flames on April 8 and if your
applications are not changing, why should you have to buy a new OS and
hardware?

It's those "unknown dangers..."
