Creeva’s World 2.0

Pic­ture from here

One of the most inter­est­ing things I’ve learned over watch­ing web sta­tis­tics of my vis­i­tors is how many unpatched com­put­ers there are out there.    I see a ton of fire­fox 1.x browsers, Inter­net Explorer 4, 5, and.   Win­dows 98, Win­dows 95, and even Win­dows ME.   Now some of those I can under­stand, but Win­dows Mil­le­nium?   Seri­ously?   I ran win­dows ME for a whole 48 hours before con­vert­ing back to WIn­dows 98SE.

I can only imag­ine how many of those are com­pletely spy­ware infested.   Part of the rea­son I do my best to keep my blog patched, occa­sion­ally a virus comes along that will infect web pages.  I will always do my best to keep that from hap­pen­ing by vis­it­ing any of my sites.  Graned some of the sites I cross­post to I can’t con­trol the patch­ing on, I can only hope their admin­is­tra­tors are on the ball with all those obso­lete and vul­ner­a­ble OS’s around.
