Free Yourself From XP Attacks With Windows 7

Recently, Microsoft advocated users should update their software with the latest security patches, as there have been over 25,000 cyber attacks against one of their security fixes. These attacks have occurred in over 100 regions or countries in a timeframe of one weekend. The researchers at Microsoft noted a single day brought on over 2500 attacks. Most security experts and Microsoft held a concern because the security flaw in question had appeared in real-world attacks. Microsoft noted most of the attacks occurred in Russia while Portugal was the second most country attacked.

Cyber attacks that were successful were able to install malicious applications in the background on users machines. The malware, Obitel, is a doorway for other malware to load itself, including spam deliveries keystroke loggers or other malicious activities. Many security experts believe the exploitation occurs during drive-by web attacks due to malicious source code that was installed on either malicious websites themselves or websites that were hacked. It is also possible the malware was triggered by other software applications, for example e-mail readers and other applications that have the ability to interact with websites.

In order to protect their systems, users should install the MS 10–042 security update from Microsoft. This will repair the Windows Help and Support Center flaw within Windows XP. Later versions of Windows including Windows Server 2008, Windows Vista and Windows 7 are not exploited by this flaw.
