As reported in this article The average un-patched Windows PC last’s less than 20 minutes on the internet before it is compromised – according to data from the Internet Storm Centre.
Apparently it is about 16 minutes connected before some sneaky devil will some how access your computer via a nasty Trojan… while in most case, you can sit there and go about your business without ever knowing you have been compromised, it is still a harsh truism that it is certainly un-wise to operate a PC that is not fully up to date with the latest Windows or anti-virus patches.
What the future hold in store for operating systems, well, only Bill Gates and his little cronies can tell you that – I sincerely hope that the issues is being addressed, the Internet does not need to be any scarier than it already is.
BAM!!!
