微软终止对XP操作系统的安全服务

本周二，微软将终止对XP操作系统的安全服务。

这意味着将不再有来自微软的正式安全更新和错误修复。

为了保护用户，一些政府已经就延长该操作系统的支持合同进行了谈判。

安全公司表示，任何其它人在使用这款十三年的软件时，都将会增加来自网络窃贼的感染和危害的风险。

统计数据显示，用户中有百分之二十到百分之二十五的人仍然坚持使用XP，尽管自从它2001年亮相以来，又发行了三个主要Windows版本。

一些仍然使用XP的用户已与微软达成协议，在他们从旧代码迁移期间先从微软获取一些安全补丁。

英国政府鉴署了一项五百五十万英镑的协议来延长这项支持。同样，荷兰政府也鉴署了一项超过百万欧元的协议来为国家公务员使用的四万台运行XP的个人电脑获取帮助。

来自安全公司卡巴斯基的一位资深研究分析师戴夫法说，目前任何使用XP的人都已经面临着成为恶意软件攻击受害者的极大威胁。

“数据表明，我们的顾客中运行XP的不足五分之一，可基于该系统的感染却超过了四分之一。”

support for thevenerable Windows XP operating system ends this Tuesday.

It means that there will be no more official security updates and bugfixes for the operating system from Microsoft.

Some governments have negotiated extended support contracts for the OS ina bid to keep users protected.

Security firms said anyone else using the 13-year-old software would be atincreased risk of infection and compromise by cyber-thieves.

Statistics suggest 20-25% of all users have stuck with XP despite the factthat there have been three major releases of Windows since its debut in 2001.

Some of those existing XP users have struck deals to get security fixesfrom Microsoft while they complete their migration away from the ageingcode.

The UKgovernment has signed a £5.5m deal for extended support. Similarly the Dutchgovernment has signed a "multi-million euro" deal to obtain help forthe 40,000 PCs running XP used by the nation's civil servants.

Anyone currently running Windows XP already faced a disproportionate riskof falling victim to malware, said Dave Emm, a senior research analyst atsecurity firm Kaspersky.

"Our data indicates that less than one fifth of our customers runWindows XP but more than a quarter of infections are Windows XP-based," hesaid.
