  Nobody is targeting XP these days, and you have to be trying to get infected within minutes. Can it happen? Yes.

  But behind your firewall with NAT it cannot magically get infected from the internet unless you do something.

    The bots out there do.

    That’s too theoretical!

    XP itself will “do something” and expose itself.
