As we’ve mentioned before, on April 8, Microsoft stopped supporting and releasing updates for one of its most popular operating systems, Windows XP. The only exception the company has made since then was in May, when it released a patch to resolve a major vulnerability in Internet Explorer.
Panda Security however, has continued offering protection and support for all our customers with XP installed on their computers.
And that’s not all. Recently the independent German laboratory, AV-Test, put to the test the protection capabilities and performance impact of 23 antivirus products for Windows XP, and Panda Cloud Antivirus FREE, got the perfect score: 18 out of 18. This result confirms it as the best free option for protecting this operating system and comes on top of the excellent results recently obtained in AV-Comparatives and Virus Bulletin.
Advice for Windows XP users
One of the best tips to prevent attacks from hackers is to keep your system updated. After Microsoft’s termination of support for Windows XP, new vulnerabilities or security holes will start to appear that leave an open door on your computer and increase the risk of infection.
That’s why we always recommend installing a good antivirus to monitor these threats, and you should ensure it is always active and updated.
Panda Security specializes in the development of endpoint security products and is part of the WatchGuard portfolio of IT security solutions. Initially focused on the development of antivirus software, the company has since expanded its line of business to advanced cyber-security services with technology for preventing cyber-crime.

Who in their right mind would be using XP, when we have Windows 10? Hello, come in?
Why do people still drive their fixed ’40 Ford Coups ????? They like what they have so they drive it, they don’t need a $35K – $40K Tarus or $80K F150 king ranch or a F-150 Platnium. IF it aint broke and still runs then use it.
Yeah! Tell ’em, Ron!
Just resurrected an old XP tower and it still kicks ass. Haven’t used it in like 10 years. Surprisingly fast!
Will panda support my windows XP 5.1?
Hi Tina,
Yes, it does run on Windows XP.
