Windows
XP is still powering some 27.69% of worldwide PCs and ESET has also
updated its product range for Windows XP users. ESET has also given five
tips for protecting Windows XP machines.
- Users
should make sure that they back up computer's files regularly, a few
times a year. Do not think of a backup when you faced with virus, fire,
earthquake or any calamity.
- Users
make sure that Windows XP is up-to-date, however Microsoft will stop
update after April 8, 2014, all of the old updates from before then will
still be available, and should be applied.
- In
addition to the operating system and drivers, you should also make sure
you have the latest versions of your application software on the
computer, and that those are fully-patched and updated.
- If
the computer does not have to be connected to the Internet, disconnect
or disable the connection so that the PC can only connect to other
machines on the same non-Internet network. This will ensure that
Internet-borne threats cannot directly attack your XP PC, and will make
it harder for an attacker to steal data off the computer.
- Users
should make sure that security software should be updates with security
program that combines signature-based and heuristic detection, includes
a firewall, and has some kind of host intrusion protection system.
Mr Pankaj Jain, Director at ESET said, "We
guarantees support for Windows XP and we recommend that you use the
latest version of your ESET product to maintain the highest degree of
protection. As the operation system is no longer receives regular
updates, users need to patch this with latest security packages."
