Advance system upgrade Microsoft said XP poisoning rate is 6 times that of win8

Although Windows XP has been more than a decade, still occupying half of this, it is clear that Microsoft has begun to hope that he will disappear from the user as soon as possible. Users are expected to realize that they will face more serious security risks after they stop receiving support on April 8 next year.
In Microsoft's latest version of the Microsoft Security Intelligence Report, Microsoft showed data about what Windows XP is still a major target for malware.
Holly Stewart, senior project director at the Malware Protection Center, presented a number of key messages in an interview with the media, including information that Microsoft has never released in past releases. This section provides an opportunity rate for malicious programs that Microsoft currently supports for Windows operating system software. In the above chart, it is easy to see that the malware encounter rate of Windows XP is lower than Vista/7, only a little higher than Windows 8.
However, the infection rate displayed on the right side is completely different. The so-called infection rate here refers to the probability of final infection after encountering a malicious program. On every 1000 PCs with Windows XP, an average of 9.1 were detected to be infected with malicious programs. This is a lot higher than Windows Vista and Windows 7 5.5 & permil; and 4.9 & permil; it is six times higher than 1.6 & permil; Windows 8.
Stewart said that Windows XP is still installed on 21% of PC devices worldwide, which means that two out of every 10 PCs are running Windows XP. Even in the United States, this number has reached 13%, which is still somewhat high for a 12-year operating system.
When asked about the recent announcement by Google and Mozilla that their browser products will continue to provide support for Windows XP systems after April 8th, Stewart said that software companies can of course continue to Products on Windows XP provide support, but the operating system itself will still become more vulnerable after April 8 next year.



Stewart also announced a data system is Windows XP SP2 PC is running their malicious software infection rates compared to the PS3 is higher than 66%, the former has not Re-supported by Microsoft. It can be seen that users and enterprises that have not yet upgraded Windows to the new version are considering upgrading.
