Created and managed by Slovak company ACROS Security, 0patch is a platform designed to deliver, apply and remove “microscopic” security updates to unsupported software products. The service is particularly interesting for consumers and companies still working on legacy Windows versions, as it offers a third-party alternative to keep the OS secure where Microsoft’s official support is no longer available.
Patches released through the ACROS service belong to the “micropatch” category. These tiny, targeted updates are applied in memory (with no actual file modification on disk).
