Windows XP, the Operating System first released for retail sale on October 25, 2001 is now officially no longer supported by microsoft – which until recently was still getting updates for bugs, security problems and things that were making it crash.
So from here on in, its going to be a better and better idea to upgrade to windows 7 or windows 8 instead. For most people that still have windows XP its probably time to upgrade or replace your computer at the same time.
Recently there was a massive bug discovered in internet explorer versions 6 through 11 that allows hackers to gain access to your computer, unfortunately this won’t be fixed for windows XP users.. see below;
So for the time being, if you are using XP, stop using internet explorer and use Firefox instead to stay more secure.
If you have a repair needed to an old XP or even Windows 95, 98 or even windows 3.11 system we will still try to help you with your computer, but with the age of these PC systems, they are less and less reliable due to the computer hardware failure and wearing out. Often we have advised our clients to upgrade instead of spending too much money on an old system and have helped people transfer files, emails, documents, photos and network and internet settings across so the new machine is as familiar as possible to the old computer. If you need technical support or computer network maintenance support in Perth we can help you – call Daniel on 0401 229 104
