Microsoft is ending support of Windows XP Service Pack 2 today. This means that Microsoft will no longer provide updates, including security updates for this version of Windows XP.
So what do you do? First, you can simply upgrade Windows XP to Service Pack 3. (Make sure you complete a full backup BEFORE installing any updates). Second, you can upgrade to Windows 7. Generally speaking however, we do not suggest trying to upgrade to Windows 7 on older computers.
You can find Windows XP SP3 here. Note that it is about 320M.
How can you tell what Service Pack your Windows XP is running? Right click on My Computer. Click on Properties. You will see your version of Windows XP in the upper portion of the window.
Keeping up with security updates is very important nowadays. If you are not running Windows XP SP3, you need to get going!
