I’m running XP SP3, Avast Free, and the Windows firewall on three computers, and I have no desire to switch to Win 7 or 8. Just how dangerous would it be to continue using XP after Microsoft discontinues support? Would switching to Avast Pro make a significant difference?
I would consider you to switch to Windows 7 or 8, even Microsoft is warning to continue to use XP.
After i think the 8. August 2014 there will be NO updates anymore. It will be more and more unsafe after this date.
And also almost every programm is now made for Win 7 and 8.
