Microsoft may fix this security issue in September
Microsoft already confirmed that they’re working on a fix which should be available in September. Most likely, the hotfix will be available on Patch Tuesday, which means that Windows 10 computer will be vulnerable to attacks for two more weeks. It seems all Windows 10 versions are affected, regardless of the patch level. Fully up-to-date systems are vulnerable as well. However, older Windows version, such as Windows 7 and Windows 8.1, are not affected by the problem.. We do recommend that you protect your Windows PC by using a strong antivirus program such as Bitdefender, BullGuard, or Malwarebytes. You can also install a specific program to scan and remove hidden malware in order to detect and remove any malware that may have sneaked in your computer. RELATED STORIES TO CHECK OUT:
