Windows XP SP2 is nearing the end of official support period.
Microsoft is warning customers that support for some older versions of the Windows operating system will end in the first half of this year.
Support for Windows XP SP2 ends July 13.
The termination of official support for the products means Microsoft will no longer issue security updates for them.
We recommend that those of you still on Windows XP SP2 install the latest service pack available via the Microsoft Update Web site—Windows XP Service Pack 3—or look at moving to Windows 7.
Keeping your PC up to date and as safe as possible is something that people need to think about beyond just being on the latest service pack.
I want to remind everyone of the benefits of keeping Windows Update turned on. Through Windows Update, not only are you provided with the latest security updates and service packs for Windows at no cost, but also the latest updates to products such as Internet Explorer 8 and Microsoft Security Essentials.
Is your Windows Update turned on? Is it working? Are you on Windows XP Service Pack 3 already? When was the last time your small business had an IT Security and Longevity Audit?
