[QUOTE="jackuars, post: 945615, member: 24462"] If you are sure that the software is discontinued, just block the "old software" from connecting to the internet with a firewall, and let it run locally. My preference would be for softwares that is maintained by their respective developers, unless the software that you are dealing with has no good alternative. Unless the software that you are using are critical to be updated, i.e browsers, password managers, antivirus etc, you are fairly safe. [/QUOTE]
