Re: XP & malware

>Malware may or may not be written specifically for XP; it can be written
to exploit vulnerabilities of apps which run under, among other OSs, XP.
The browser is often the target these days (Safari was recently
targeted, btw). If MS stops issuing security patches for the browser
which runs under XP, and/or makes some future IE-iteration no longer
XP-compatible, you will be at risk.

Flash,

It might be time to ditch IE in favor of Firefox, which is not only a better product, but more
importantly not dependent on the whims of MS. Third-party support for XP will be continuing for a
long time.
