I have been an Agnitum Outpost Firewall user for almost 20 years. OpenOffice 4.1.7 has replaced Office 2003.

Firefox 45.9ESR works well and provides a pleasant browsing experience and AdBlockPlus 2.8.2 does a grand job including preventing crypto mining. I run Directory Opus 6.2.5.15 in user mode so that processes initiated within it also run in user mode. I have a method of running application processes as user mode which uses DropMyRights.

Could be because I use OpenDNS? Who knows? My router statefully filters incoming traffic and Outpost does its job too.

I have yet to work out why this XP system enjoys such immunity. I suppose it is a honeypot but a well protected one. I have yet to be disrupted by any malware and regularly scan with Panda Dome and SuperAntiSpyware. I augment Panda Dome with Agnitum Outpost Firewall Pro 9.3 ( MAXIMUM Anti-Leak Protection settings), Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit 1.13.1.164, OSArmor 1.4.3 (all protections enabled) and Comodo Memory Firewall 2.0.4.20. I don't use it for anything which is privacy or confidentiality sensitive.
