Urgent Deadline Approaching

Security technicians at Microsoft have compiled intelligence from a billion user systems worldwide in an effort to establish an important new metric called The Encounter Rate.

• The Encounter Rate measures how many Microsoft systems worldwide are receiving messages that contain Malware.
• From this metric Microsoft has been able to determine how many infections occur when users inadvertently open a message with Malware included.

The results are astonishing.

What these metrics have revealed is that Windows XP is 6 times more likely to to be hacked than newer Windows 7 and Windows 8 operating systems.

“XP has been a beloved operating system for millions and millions of people around the world, but after 12 years of service it simply can’t mitigate the threats we’re seeing modern-day attackers use,” says Tim Rains, director of Microsoft Trustworthy Computing, in a USA Report. 

So if you’re using Windows XP the criminals are waiting in the wings to attack your computer on April 8^th.

Unfortunately, most consumers are clueless about the true scope of this security risk.  So CAT-TEC is sending out this message to alert you and others, not for our benefit, but for yours. — Spread the word and let your colleagues and business associates know that they are vulnerable to cybercrime if they continue using Windows XP after April 8^th.
