The popular digital security provider company F-Secure has released its threat report for the second-half of year 2013.

Along with all these, it also mentioned about Microsoft’s decision of stopping to offer Windows XP security patches after April 8 2014. In this particular section it offers some useful tips for Windows users who are not planning to upgrade their Windows XP to new Windows versions.
F-Secure say that “All is not lost. Patching XP is not the first line of defense. Or it really shouldn’t be, folks that continue to use XP at home can do so with some reasonable amount of safety, for a while, but they absolutely need to review their internet (particularly web browsing) and computing habits.”
