I use a resident antivirus, firewall and spyware scanner (three separate products - I'm leery of the all-in one approach) on my XP machines which are all still SP2.

I do all my internet access in a virtual machine (Sun Virtualbox).

I install MS patches only after they've been out for a few weeks and when I know that what they do is something that I want done on my systems.

Never had a problem yet (knock wood)

I’m always 100% patched and have my virus software current however don’t forget about java, flash, etc. updates.

I got nailed several weeks ago by a java exploit even with everything else 100% current.
