YouTuber Eric Parker shared his experience and the first idea to get started on the modern Internet is to take precautions. Instead of the trivial – since the release of the latest version of Windows XP, popular and still used on millions of devices. Their owner does not want or cannot update the system due to the international SP. These programs cannot be downloaded.
Microsoft has officially announced the 2009 version of Windows XP, not the version released in 2014. Since then, there have been no updates, and with them no protection against new threats, for this OS. Parker’s story was used in a Windows XP virtual machine and included on the Internet, it was immediately exposed to taka. An important point is that no protective equipment was used.
The latest virus was created under the new name “admina” and was uploaded to an FTP server. The “conhoz.exe” virus was also detected in the Russian-language Windows system. Conhost.exe is intended for inclusion in Runet domains. Three viruses were disguised by Google using the address “www.google.com”.
Malwarebytes scans take just a few minutes. The system was infected with several types of viruses. The important thing is that they are all outdated automatically, having been used for a long time. They are useful in Windows XP. The use of antivirus programs by brands today reduces the risks, but they are still great.
