I'm just wondering, I've used windows XP for a year, but I've never once thought about security. I've always just ran XP on an admin account with no AV, no nothing, with my only defense being my router and Firefox on onecore api. That computer was a Dell d505 with a Pentium M. However, I now have a T430 that's 2000% more powerful which in theory opens the door to stuff like firewalls and antivirus software. Although, is security that big of a concern on XP, is there a real risk to running XP? I'm mainly going to use XP at home and also connected to a hotspot when I'm not, so I don't know how far I should go with securing the OS.
