If not, you can always install the latest version when you need it. Java has nothing to do with the browser scripting language, JavaScript. The fewer programs you have, the fewer things there are to attack.

Many people update their browsers and desktop software, but completely forget about updating their browser plug-ins. This is dangerous because Flash, Java and similar plugins are in the front line. You should therefore visit Mozilla's Check Your Plugins page. This also provides trusted links to the newer versions that need to be installed.

Qualys also offers a browser-checking site. The option to "Scan without installing plugin" is quick but not as thorough as the plugin version. Again, uninstall any plugins you don't need. This will make your browser slightly more secure, and it will probably run faster.

Note that Microsoft has also stopped supporting Office , and this is now vulnerable software. If possible, upgrade to a more recent version.

The risk is that hackers will be able to identify holes in Windows XP that will no longer be addressed in short order with a Microsoft patch or service pack.

These potential holes for exploitation will continue to multiply over time and as such the cost of managing a Windows XP estate will rise very quickly, both from maintenance point of view, but also from potential exploits and lost productivity.

It is recommended that organizations still using Windows XP look to upgrade to the latest — or a more recent supported version — Windows operating system to ensure they continue to receive the latest security and stability patches. Doing so will ensure their software ecosystem is protected from known exploits.
