    After the dreaded shutdown of windows xp, i am not going to be on the internet as much anymore due to fear of getting a computer virus, plus i am afraid of malware and other things like that, so anyways i am avoiding the internet as much as i can until june, which is when I get my new gaming computer :) the only thing will be doing is getting drawings and comics done and ill still be on Minecraft and teamspeak, but im avoiding internet unless i am posting comics and other things :) i will only be gone for a month so expect me to be on Minecraft still.

    P.s when I get my new pc, the paint tool on windows 7 needs some getting used to, as it is very different from paint tool on XP. So their may be a decline on comics, but ill try my best!

    If you download an antivirus, then not getting windows updates shouldn't be a problem ;)

    Antivirus for Windows XP will probably not be updated anymore also, so it doesn't really matter.

    I hope you realize how rare viruses actually are. You're being far, far too paranoid. You get viruses if you click on a fake link or go on a virus website...

    You're not just going to randomly get a virus for no reason.

    There's still plenty of third-party antivirus software that still keeps support for Windows XP.

    Nah, he's right. Us XPers are going to have to be extra careful.
