Don’t be a sitting duck

The longer you stay on Windows 10, the greater the security risk becomes. It really is time to upgrade. Only 20% of Australian computers are still running Windows 10, and those are the ones being targeted by cyber criminals - literally sitting ducks.

Additionally, the number of vulnerabilities connected to running Windows 10 continues to rise as software developers across the industry follow Microsoft’s lead and stop supporting their software for Windows 10.

If you are not running the current, fully-patched version of the Microsoft operating system, you can now see why you are a sitting duck for a hacker.
