THIS is about OLD OUT DATED software . . Why would it even be here !

That's largely the point, Jackie. Crooks know that there are plenty of people who don't close these holes in old, outdated software and are therefore vulnerable. Businesses, too.
For instance, plenty of people might ignore the updates for QuickTime or WinZip because they don't use the software, not realizing that they add ActiveX controls that makes IE vulnerable. This is for them.
