9. XP will work until sites restrict them because of security concerns.

Malwarebytes only does so much, as I have it installed on this PC right here.

I need Microsoft Security Essentials and Advanced System Care installed to fill in the gaps.

Again, with my point above. I'm sick of MS - to the point where I'm switching to Mac because they don't have these prevalent issues. Why should I have to performance sweep my PC once a week, run constant scans, occassionally reinstall the OS or restore it to a checkpoint because of the exposures in it?

Sooner or later financial sites will ban XP because its integrity might be in question.
