Microsoft releases Internet Explorer security patch, even for Windows XP
M

Weโ€™ve covered theย end of support for Windows XPย in detail. The iconic iteration of Microsoftโ€™s OS has been around for over a decade and still powers over 25 percent of all PCs in the world despite the fact that Microsoft has killed support for it.ย Recently the company issued a security warning for a vulnerability found in older versions of internet explorer. To plug it Microsoft is going to release one last, albeit very important, security patch for Windows XP.

It’s been the better part of a week since Microsoft revealed that virtually every single version of its Internet Explorer web browserย was vulnerableย to a particularly nasty attack, one so scary that U.S. Homeland Securityย recommendedย people not to use the browser until the hole is patched.ย Now, it is: Microsoft willย deliver the patchย for all versions of Internet Explorer on Thursday (including Windows RT). Windows XP, which Microsoft discontinued support for on April 8, will get a patch, too. If you have automatic updates turned on, you won’t need to take any action to get the security patch.ย The news should cheer consumers, Homeland Security and the millions of stubborn Windows XP users around the world.
