Vast majority We preserve the exceptional memory of Windows XP. It’s true that it took a while to become as robust, secure, and reliable as we remember it, and it’s also true that its predecessor, Windows Me, made it easier to leave good memories because even the VHS video operating system of the late 1980s would look phenomenal compared to Windows Me. But be that as it may, even if there are also shadows on its record, no one will destroy the memory we have of Windows XP as one of the best operating systems from Microsoft.

As I remembered a moment ago, XP was the successor to Windows Me and was followed by Windows Vista (another infamous memory…). It arrived on the market in October 2001, and its successor did so in January 2007, although due to the very high level of implementation it achieved, its extended life cycle was extended until April 8, 2014, allowing many of its users to jump directly to Windows 7. skipping Vista (the same way we’ve seen users go from 7 to 10, skipping 8 and 8.1).

Although We’ve known about malware since the 1980sDuring the first decade of this century, there was an awakening of global awareness of cyber security risks, greatly contributed to by the massive expansion of the Internet. Suddenly, almost overnight, we were all connected to the internet, and one day we got an email from a person who told us they loved us (in English, of course), and before we knew it, many of them we couldn’t open anymore. our files.

At the time, a combination of common sense with Windows XP’s security features, combined with proper configuration and a few security tools, was usually enough to deal with threats. However, in the years since then, the situation has worsened considerably, as confirmed by YouTuber Eric Parker, who tried to connect the Windows XP installation in a virtual machine to the Internet.

It was only a matter of minutes before malware started flooding the systemand even install version heritage of Malwarebytes was completely unable to face all the pathogens that, like piranhas in a pool of minced meat, did not hesitate to throw a gargantuan feast at the expense of poor Windows XP, which was undoubtedly more than overwhelmed by the level of evil. this modern age.
