Newer versions of Windows are faring much better against attacks than older versions.
Microsoft’s Cybersecurity & Data Protection Unit released a new report that is intended to show the level of mitigation that Windows has versus modern malware attacks.
The report details infection rates for both Windows client and server operating systems in the third and fourth quarters of 2014.
According to Rains, the latest versions of both Windows client and server operating systems had the lowest malware infection rates during the period being polled, “by a large margin.”
Beyond a free upgrade, users can identify and quantify with the idea of ‘better malware protection’ on their systems.
