Microsoft extends virus warnings for Windows XP to 2015

Microsoft has decided to continue providing virus warnings for the ageing Windows XP operating system until 2015.

The warnings were due to end on 8 April 2014 when all other support for the software is scheduled to stop.

However, the numbers still running the 12-year-old operating system convinced it to provide more help.

About 30% of all desktop computers are still running XP, according to figures from research firm Net Applications.

Microsoft explained its change of policy in a blogpost saying the feed of security information was the only support XP users would receive after 8 April this year.

This would mean that it continued to provide signatures for well-known malicious programs that will help Windows XP spot when viruses, trojans and other cyber-threats try to compromise a PC. The malware-spotting updates will be provided for Microsoft’s Security Essentials and for a wide variety of corporate tools used to protect large numbers of PCs.

These security updates will be produced until 14 July, 2015.
Estas atualizações de segurança serão produzidas até 14 de julho de 2015.
However, security patches, regular updates and bug fixes for XP will stop as scheduled on 8 April.

In its blogpost, Microsoft warned users to stop using XP to ensure they stay safe.

“The effectiveness of anti-malware solutions on out-of-support operating systems is limited,” said Microsoft. “Running a well-protected solution starts with using modern software and hardware designed to help protect against today’s threat landscape.”

Despite its age, Windows XP has proved to have a long life on desktops in homes and businesses. This led Microsoft to keep selling it long past the date it was due to be removed from shop shelves.

This longevity is partly because of the poor reception that its successor Windows Vista received and because some businesses have found it hard to adapt to the changes introduced in Windows 7 and 8.

Isto significaria que ela continuaria a prover assinaturas para os programas maliciosos bem conhecidos o que ajudará o Windows XP quando vírus, “trojans” e outras ameaças virtuais tentarem comprometer um PC. As atualizações de programas maliciosos serão providas pelo “Microsoft’s Security Essentials” e por uma grande variedade de ferramentas corporativas usadas para proteger um grande número de PCs.

These security updates will be produced until 14 July, 2015.

Apesar de sua idade, o Windows SP tem provado ter uma longa vida nos “desktops” nos lares e nos negócios. Isso levou a Microsoft a manter a sua venda por longo tempo e era esperado que fosse removido das prateleiras das lojas.

This longevity is partly because of the poor reception that its successor Windows Vista received and because some businesses have found it hard to adapt to the changes introduced in Windows 7 and 8.
Esta longevidade é particularmente por causa da má recepção que seu sucessor Windows Vista recebeu e por causa que algumas empresas têm encontrado dificuldade para se adaptar as mudanças introduzidas no Windows 7 e 8.
