Many of the people we help here are still using older systems which can't support newer OS's. We need to start warning these folks not to put their systems on the internet so they don't become either infected of taken over (DoD attack bot).
We also need to create a set of guides to properly setup ones system to be proactively configured out so one can defend them selves from the risk.
Any ideas here guys?
