Brian - that's just Internet Exploder! Nothing to do with XP ;D

But, IMHO, if you are still using IE, you deserve everything you get!! ;D ;D ;D :-X :-X

Well call me CYNICAL, but the first day of vulnerability and Microsoft says you would be better to update from XP..... >:(

Maybe K Garrad should read on as well as me.....

"It means there will be no more official security updates and bug fixes for XP from the firm.

Cyber security firm Symantec said it had carried out tests which confirmed that "the vulnerability crashes Internet Explorer on Windows XP".

"This will be the first zero day vulnerability that will not be patched for Windows XP users," it added."

I will be consulting my computer man.

Thanks to all for the info..

Hiya Haydon,

I've popped your question onto this topic that discusses Windows XP coming to an end of it's support.

I for one won't be using my desktop XP machine for any purchasing/banking services.
[All data that is important I would burn to disc (DVD/CD) and even transfer to external hard drive.]
Cheap replacement desktop purchased with Windows 7 installed and laptop also with Windows 7 installed for data on the move.
I don't like change, so waiting for Windows 9 or even the proposed free Windows cloud.

I understand (from reading the current issue of PC Advisor) that an update on Windows 8.1 called i believe 8.1. update!! was issued on 8th April. The same article continues that we have W8.2 to come some time early next year, followed by Windows 9. Sooner or later we shall reach a s table situation I hope,
