While it is true that Windows XP included the same firewall that we can find in the most recent versions of Windows, most people used an antivirus, more than enough for day-to-day life and where online banking, the most valuable object of the friends of others, he barely had a presence. This is a very concrete and specific test, since all the security measures that Windows included, such as the Firewall, have been deactivated, so it really should not be extrapolated to reality. It took 2 minutes for the first virus to arrive Just 2 minutes into operation, the virtual machine had already received the attention of two viruses, one of which created an XP account to host an FTP file server. Let's remember that the only protection that Windows XP had at that time was a Firewall that we have mentioned. It didn't have any antivirus protection, so Parker relied on an older version of Malwarebytes for computer security. This antivirus was able to recognize up to 8 different viruses, viruses of all kinds, from Trojans to DNS changers to redirect and capture all traffic, including all types of adware, backdoors and more. If this version of Windows XP were compatible with more modern antiviruses, it is more than likely that this number would be much higher than what Malwarebytes was able to detect. While it is true that when Windows 10 stops receiving support it will not be a virus sink overnight, it will do so as the months go by, since outsiders will focus their efforts on taking advantage of any vulnerability it has. the operating system to infect the computer, since it will not be patched in the future.
