Vista users need to run their Microsoft update even if it’s set for automatic...run it again anyway.

It’s my understanding that Microsoft no longer updates Vista (or XP). Am I correct?

Vista and XP are no longer supported by MSFT, so there aren’t any security patches available. Their users are in extreme danger.

Some of the commercial security programs such as Malwarebytes offer protection in their “premium” (paid) versions but users of free security software may not be protected.
