    The title should've read Anti Malware. My karaoke customer will be happy. He's the only hold out.

    Personally I think it's totally irrelevant to XP safety since after April there will be no more security updates so XP computers will get more vulnerable anyway.
    There are other free AV programs which still work on XP so don't think MS is some kind of a great savior.

    broni: I don't use XP. MS was so adamant about their end all XP support date 04-08-14. Is MS wavering due to slow migration to a later version of Windows? I to would be wary of using XP past that 08-2014 date. It's anybody's guess what MS is up to or thinking.
