One Microsoft product will no longer get updates.
Gizmodo reported that Microsoft will no longer update older versions of its Internet Explorer browser.
Microsoft said in a statement that updates, including technical support and security updates, to Internet Explorer 8, 9 and 10 ends Tuesday.
The news means that users who still use those versions should update their browser to Internet Explorer 11 or use other browsers.
"Microsoft will no longer provide security updates or technical support for older versions of Internet Explorer," the statement said. "Security updates patch vulnerabilities that may be exploited by malware, helping to keep users and their data safer. Regular security updates help protect computers from malicious attacks, so upgrading and staying current is important.
"Microsoft encourages customers to upgrade and stay up-to-date on the latest browser for a faster, more secure browsing experience."
Microsoft said that Internet Explorer 11 will be the last version of the browser and will still be updated.
