Rumor was 2019, or until Microsoft kills the hack, whichever comes first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumor was 2019, or until Microsoft kills the hack, whichever comes first.According to ZDNET the updates from 2 placesThe screen capture is from our own tests, which appear to work. Notice that two of the displayed updates are for WEPOS (Windows Embedded Point of Service) and Windows POSReady 2009. The others are for Windows Server 2003, which runs the same kernel and many other components as Windows XP.So seems you want get no more updates for .net framework making it even more vulnerable for attacks . The guys from kaspersky said they didn't really want there products to be used on XP anymore they could not be sure you be protected . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily, .NET is not part of the XP OS (unlike Win7/8) and is hardly of any concern. If .NET is installed, all one has to do is disable browser plugins, or at least make them click-to-play (which everyone should already be doing anyway).As far as SCEP goes, I do have it installed, but disabled everything with Autoruns and only use it on-demand. I don't even have a real-time AV running on my XP. That's how much I think people are overly-paranoid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
