Win XP and Chrome
Ok, I'm confused! I understand that Microsoft is no longer supporting XP by not sending out security updates. I read this article and have a question. Can I just access Yahoo, and all my other IE...

And remove the malware magnets. Java, Flash Player, and the Adobe Reader.
Maybe you didn't confuse the OP, but I think I am -
Out of curiousity, I assume you mean to remove these from IE?
Java - which one are you referring to? Java, JavaScript? Javascript is used on more than a few sites...can't remove it anyway. So I'm guessing Java, which isn't always installed on XP.
FlashPlayer - if you remove it from Chrome, no videos will play on Youtube or various sites :)
Adobe Reader - agreed on that one, I use Foxit Reader myself.
OP: As already stated, just keep your antivirus/antimalware updated, make sure it does an "active" scan (scanning while opening a file) and where possible automatically updates. (Malwarebytes won't auto-update unless you pay for it). Also suggested rootkit revealer or something similar. Make sure you run it all at least weekly if you're going to stay on XP :)
