Microsoft Support for Windows XP Ended April 8, 2014

Microsoft states: After April 8, 2014, technical assistance for Windows XP will no longer be available, including automatic updates that help protect your PC.
While it's true that you can keep using your PC with Windows XP after support ends, we don't recommend it. For starters, it'll become five times more vulnerable to security risks and viruses, which means you could get hacked and have your personal information stolen.
