Think of it like a car that still runs fine but doesn’t get any more safety recalls. Let's look at your options for staying safe online.
Halloween is supposed to be about ghosts, witches, and kids dressed as inflatable T-Rexes knocking on your door for candy. But while you’re watching horror movies and carving pumpkins, there are real-life monsters that could be creeping toward your computer right now.
