sman Posted January 9, 2016 ID:1011670 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Microsoft readies Kill Switch for IE 8, 9, 10 with last EOL update coming Tuesday 12th Jan.. Is IE 11 then mandatory for support? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aura Posted January 9, 2016 ID:1011693 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Windows Vista can still use Internet Explorer 9, even though it isn't recommended. The only users that are truly affected by this, is Windows 8 users, since they are stuck with Internet Explorer 10 and need to upgrade to Windows 8.1 in order to get Internet Explorer 11. Windows 7 users should already be on Internet Explorer 11 (and that since a while). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sman Posted January 9, 2016 Author ID:1011700 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Will this force shift from XP? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aura Posted January 9, 2016 ID:1011702 Share Posted January 9, 2016 The shift from XP has been in place the day Microsoft ended support for it, which was on April 8th 2014. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
daledoc1 Posted January 9, 2016 ID:1011713 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Hi: Just curious, @sman... You wrote: Microsoft readies Kill Switch for IE 8, 9, 10 with last EOL update coming Tuesday 12th Jan.. Is IE 11 then mandatory for support? But since you posted here in the MBAE support forum, is your question about MS support for those older IE versions, or about MBAE support for those older IE versionss? (Because it seems that perhaps you and @Aura are talking about 2 different things?) <just asking> Cheers, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff pbust Posted January 10, 2016 Staff ID:1011746 Share Posted January 10, 2016 MBAE will continue to support XP as well as older versions of IE. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aura Posted January 12, 2016 ID:1012073 Share Posted January 12, 2016 MBAE will continue to support XP as well as older versions of IE. Is this long-term, or short-term? Like, will you pull the plug on Windows XP and older versions of Internet Explorer when Malwarebytes Anti-Malware will do it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sman Posted January 12, 2016 Author ID:1012145 Share Posted January 12, 2016 With line of thought for merging MBAM & MBAE, also curious to know what future policy path would be? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff pbust Posted January 12, 2016 Staff ID:1012252 Share Posted January 12, 2016 We don't have fixed plans yet, but the idea is to be one of the last security vendors to drop support for XP. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
