According to Kaspersky, the number of threats is growing continuously because the security flaws in this OS will remain unpatched. The security company has also warned that ticketing systems and ATMs constitute possible targets since most of these machines use Windows XP Embedded. This is a version of Windows XP developed specifically for embedded machines. Therefore, all the systems using Windows XP are vulnerable by default. However, one should not worry too much because no severe security flaws have been found so far. Nevertheless, this does not mean that one should continue to take risks by remaining faithful to Windows XP. Windows XP users have been warned repeatedly by Microsoft and security companies to upgrade their OS. Obviously, Windows XP was designed for a different era and it is only a matter of time till someone finds and exploits a major bug in the systems. Apparently, people are starting to take these warnings seriously because Windows 7 is gaining more users with each passing month. Around 55% of the world’s computers run Windows 7 and the number is growing. All in all, if you are still using Windows XP, try to let go of your good old pal and upgrade you operating system. Take action before is too late. READ ALSO: How to Retrieve Files From a Damaged Windows Laptop
