All this is exactly why I have stayed with xp.
I use firefox with that but am getting pissed off with it because it seems now that there is an update every 2 days and every time there is one it go's crap and something stops working.It used to work great, now I get 100% cpu spikes on some sites, I might start a separate post on that one after the weekend as i dont want to
:hijack

Security on XP is seriously lacking, in the last 3 months I have received 2 machines which had 2 different working versions of anti virus software and both were hit by what is called Ransomeware, Cryptolocker or Cryptowall virus/trojan.
It encrypts files and wants you to pay a ransom in Bitcoin to receive the encryption key. Bitcoin cannot be traced apparently
One lost years of work documents/pdfs, excel worksheets, t presentations, drawings and all his photographs (many were of his wife who died a year before). The first fellow had backups, but when he could not open the files he retrieved them from his back drive which then became infected. The second fellow lost everything on his, because he had no backup.
The encryption use is the latest virtually uncrackable  by using a long RSA key of 1024 bits or more

Continue to use XP for internet and email access at your own risk  :eek

I dont keep anything on the computer, everything is backed and if that happened to me then I would just bin it.
