Almost All Windows PCs At Risk
More than 98% of Windows computers are running at least one unpatched application and nearly half of these computers contain 11 or more programs which are at risk from attack.
These alarming revelations are made by Copenhagen-based security company Secunia. Secunia APS says that 98.1% of the PCs on which Personal Software Inspector was installed have one or more applications that have security updates available for downloading and only the remaining 1.9% of the PCs had no out of date programs.
Data for this was gathered from 20000 users of which one third has systems which ran a vulnerable version of five or fewer programs while nearly half of the machines ran 11 or more insecure applications.
