windows xp on my gbpvr box

jam_zhou · 2014-02-14, 06:44 PM

Hi All,

I'm still on gbpvr and win XP and was wondering if my htpc will be safe. It's a dedicated box that will only fetch tvguide data, some youtube and maybe netflix. Will my old XP box be safe or should I get my act together and get nextpvr together?

If you're not doing general web browsing on that PC, and it's behind a router/firewall, then I don't think you have anything to worry about. That said, yes, you should get your act together and get nextpvr.

If your router is one of the many that are being attacked with some recent backdoor exploits no.
