I'm glad I'm still on Windows 7

Warning Issued For Millions Of Microsoft Windows 10 Users

 

Quote

 

The flaw lies in PC-Doctor Toolbox, systems analysis software which is rebadged and pre-installed on PCs made by some of the world’s biggest computer retailers, including Dell, its Alienware gaming brand, Staples and Corsair. Dell alone shipped almost 60M PCs last year and the company states PC-Doctor Toolbox (which it rebrands as part of ‘SupportAssist’) was pre-installed on “most” of them.

What SafeBreach has discovered is a high-severity flaw which allows attackers to swap-out harmless DLL files loaded during Toolbox diagnostic scans with DLLs containing a malicious payload. The injection of this code impacts both Windows 10 business and home PCs and enables hackers to gain complete control of your computer.

It really is not that bad as the media is telling you.
I am on Win10 for 3 or 4 years now and it is pretty nice. You hear all the bad stuff only because the good stuff is not talked about that much.

Best regards

Hi Steve if you do a fresh install of windows 10 and have the key for win 7 you can get windows 10 free.  You have to download the installation from Microsoft.
