For you diehard's still hanging on to Windows XP, I just happened to see on Microsoft's website that they're providing a special (one-time) security patch for the WannaCrypt malware, that's currently in the news, for this & other versions of Windows that they no longer support.
Here's the links to their website. Appears that the only way to get it is to manually download it yourself since MS Update doesn't support XP anymore.
Customer Guidance for WannaCrypt attacks:
Customer Guidance for WannaCrypt attacks – MSRC
Microsoft solution available to protect additional products:
Download Security Update for Windows XP SP3 (KB4012598) from Official Microsoft Download Center
.
PS: It installed okay in my old "secondary use" desktop.
