PC users struggle to keep all their software patched

The average private user PC in the UK has 76 different programs from 26 different vendors, which leaves users struggling to keep everything up to date.

Vulnerability management specialist Secunia has published a report on the state of security among PC users in the UK based on scans from Secunia Personal Software Inspector between January and March 2014. It finds that 58 percent of identified vulnerabilities originate from third party programs, 29 percent from Microsoft programs and 13 percent from operating systems. More worrying is that 12 percent of users are using unpatched operating systems, a figure that's likely to rise following the end of support for XP. Just over one in ten third-party programs on the average PC are unpatched compared to just over three percent of Microsoft programs.

Among yesterday's optional software updates from Microsoft was Update for Windows XP/Vista/non-Windows 7.

It's an "important, non-security update" that restricts "AutoRun entries in the AutoPlay dialog to only CD and DVD drives". Excellent. This could really help curb AutoRun worms. If you're using an older Windows computer, we highly recommend you go and apply this optional update.
