What to do when windows xp support stops.

Nothing changes.
At this point you should already know how to lock down XP.

You don't need MS updates to use XP and keep it clean.

He is realizing more than that...he now regrets accepting medicaid and medicare because many times he loses money on them...so now he fears Obama-dont-care

I still run windows ME on one of my computers and I use it everyday but it's never connected to the internet.

I'm still using our XP laptop. MSE was the first to fail up dating back a few months age. The the great thinkers here recommended either try Avast or just use firefox with the 'noscripts' ad on with no anti virus program.

well at first I tried avast but couldn't get use to it after years of satisfaction with MSE.

Then I unloaded Avast and went to using fire fox with the the 'no script' ad on.

This works very well and that's what I would recommend to any one still using XP.

Time to buy a Mac. You know you want one. None of the BS and problems associated with PC's. Just an all around better OS and computer period...

How do you lock it down?

I'm assuming he means if your not using features like media player networking service and components of xp like that . you go into add remove programs and remove all unwanted thing you don't use. If you remove the software that has bugs and security issues you don't need it updated in the first place.

There are tons of websites that show you how to take control of xp. I am sure now that supports gone it'll take off even more.

You are sitting at a computer with the worlds largest library at your finger tips. Use it

Here it is 4-12-2014. Several days after they ended support for XP and here I am getting an update from Microsoft???

Did they find a big flaw that needed fixing ASAP?

Same old stuff as previous updates so far. Word, Office 2010, IE8, Malicious Software Removal Tool. Believe it may have stalled on that last one (4 of 7).

I was a little hesitant on doing this update, but figured what the hell. I have Linux on another partition and can recover any files I need if it starts acting up.

Still stalled on KB890830....

It got past the stall. Must restart

Keep the old pc and just install one of the many free linux versions!!

Only you and Dr. Ben where smart enough on this thread to recommend Linux. I third that suggestion.

Besides it being free of malware and all that other Microsassinity, people here really ought to know that they should not be on a conspiracy forum and use Microsoft.
