Just a heads up for any of you still using it.

--- Quote ---Microsoft is putting the final nail in the coffin of its 10-year old – and often maligned – operating system, Windows Vista.

After April 11, the U.S. technology giant will end support for Vista, meaning customers will no longer get crucial security or software updates.

Yeap, I know all about it. My old HP desktop has Windows Vista. It's no longer safe to use it on-line.
Sad, I like Windows Vista. Now need to upgrade my CPU or just buy a new one. Luckily we have 2 laptops with Windows 10.

I guess for you Art it might be time to try a new operating system for that computer, yet I am told that many internet cafes in the Philippines are still even using XP, so as long as a person does not use their Vista or XP for banking or other important things, then I would guess browsing should still be okay.

It says it's only compatible with MS Windows Defender, which I don't use, because I'm using something else where my MS Windows Defender has been deactvated.
