Its called malware spyware, parasites, adware, etc. which your anti-virus
program will not pick up.

Yes the critical updates are absolutely important. Keep that up.
Unfortunately things still get through even if you are fully patched. A
firewall is also a "must have" . This will help block malicious sites and
scripts. If nothing else you can enable the built-in XP Firewall. There
are a other recommended ones free and otherwise. Knowledge is the best
security. Read up. You will learn.

Rule number two; don't take advice from someone who's incapable of stringing
a coherent sentence together.

Rule number three; netcops are there as vigilantes, and usually only create
disruption.
