A thin lifeline for XP users: New Malwarebytes suite will support the OS
2014-03-24 15:30:31| InfoWorld: Top News
As Malwarebytes announces its new Anti-Malware Premium suite Monday morning, it comes with a nice present for Windows XP users: lifetime support. Perhaps it isn't entirely surprising given that, according to the company, 20 percent of its user base remains on Windows XP. Microsoft is actually extending malware support well beyond the XPocalypse date of April 8, but knowing other companies have your back is a rare bright spot.
