Windows patching rises

Unpatched Windows PCs are on the decline in the UK - by the end of Q1 2016, 6.1 per cent of UK consumers had unpatched Windows operating systems, compared to 11.5 per cent at the same time last year, figures from Flexera Software’s Secunia Research team indicated.

The same study found Apple QuickTime users are slower to patch: 61 per cent of UK private users have not patched their Apple QuickTime 7.x software, up from 55 per cent in Q4 2015.®
