I use Norton. Over the last few days, pop-ups from them trumpet the fact that my computers, tablet and phone have been protected from WannaCry.
I don't get it. All these systems that have been compromised world wide - is it because they haven't invested a relatively small sum in protection like Norton?
I run one PC using XP. Very few updates from Microsoft. That's been protected too.
In fact I believe protection like Norton is essential if systems are running on old versions of Windows.

windows stopped supporting xp last year but any decent anti malware software will still protect it. A lot of the issues come from people disabling windows automatic updates on their computers out of some form of mis guided paranoia about Microsoft having access to their files and documents
Whilst its true a good protection is only a few quid, the windows upgrade to 10 was free. Anybody running an old version of windows that hasn't been support for years have themselves to blame. Regardless of what Norton say i would defiantly look to upgrade windows or move to linux.
It ain't as simple as that. I've got the best part of £1K invested in programs which do not run in anything later in XP. I don't want to shell out another £1K so on one PC I run XP; on others, I run later Windows. When my XP PC dies, I'll seriously consider installing a new hard drive and re-install XP. Everything on there has been cloned and saved waiting for the blue screen of death.
