Keep Your Security Software Subscriptions Up to Date

November 20, 2014

A recent report from Microsoft states that nearly 10% of Windows 8 users are running expired anti-malware software. Apparently, Microsoft has been studying the relationship of malware infections and what security software companies are running. The number one problem is that the trial version of their security software has expired. The malware infection rates on Windows 8 clients with expired antivirus tools were almost as high as the infection rate in PCs with no protection at all.

What’s the lesson here? Don’t run your computer with expired security software. Doh?
