Once virus programs stop working on XP it will become even more dangerous to go online with such a system. Certainly IE is not receiving much in the way of patches and as we know Windows is not updating those systems at all any more unless you're doing something slightly under the table so to speak. I also know that many people have XP systems that still work perfectly, I do have one myself that I use for music playing over my own wireless network. So the point of this email is to offer a suggestion to keep your system safe. This will completely disable your Windows XP computer from going on the internet while allowing it to function locally without a hitch for the lack of a better term. Open IE.

Check the "Bypass proxy server for local addresses" box. Then click OK until you exit the menu. I'm going to post this article on the server soon as I find a place where it will be easy for folks to locate, safe computing to everybody.
