yet another reason Internet Explorer is only good for downloading a normal browser...

 

[everlast66]

People that run windows XP are not the screamish type

 

[memadmax]

Sooooo....

Don't look at pornsites and you'll be fine...

>_>

 

[abbadon_34]

the timing is so .... convenient

So what about the people using Internet Explorer 11 on Windows 8.1 are they safe or not?

 

[danwat1234]

If the critical updates going to the UK government and maybe the NSA or whatever other government organizations are leaked for XP, then we won't need to disable that dll.

Another proof that your Windows is never secured whether that is Windows 7/8 or XP. Just don't use IE!

next think you know people are going to complain about AOL and the DialUp Connective speed...

its always something with the internet. That's why I don't bank or do anything online unless I use a prepaid card that has just the amount of money that I'll be using to purchase said item. Also, I don't save anything on my computer that could be useful to a hacker. Don't view porn or anything else on my computer an I don't visit websites that I have no idea about.

While this is a IE specific threat it does not mean other browsers are not safe from attack.

The real threat? Stupid people who click links for this in their email.

 

[stingstang]

Please, let me hear again how XP isn't safe now. I don't think any of us are catching on yet.

Right after windows XP ended support. Did Microsoft intend to do this?

Further proof that you should not be using Internet Explorer.

 

[DrBackwater]

Why not tom, they're cool so sad sad sad sad.

 

[cats_Paw]

Why is the hacker in that pick wearing a mask?
Why would people use IE anyway?

 

[rwinches]

Hypothetically a danger exist that hypothetically could cause hypothetically a problem that hypothetically if you are stupid and hypothetically use IE and hypothetically are easily swayed by hypotheticals then you may want to follow these steps. All others carry on.

If it's microsoft, it prolly has backdoors programmed in it. The best "security" MS products have is proprietary code, that the NSA probably has too. By now people should realize what they do online is being logged

 

[techguy911]

zero-day? this is over 3 years old how can they call this zero day they knew about this problem and said it was not a threat, now that XP support is gone they say it is a huge threat but we won't fix it for xp.
This was planned to make sure they had something to kill XP with.

 

[Zombie615]

They're are probably the ones doing the hacking. Getting people to buy into a newer Operating system from them so they can make more money.
