TVMayor, if you have good security measures and safe browsing habits you don't have much to worry about. However, it is true that Windows XP is going to begin seeing viruses that abuse the fact that Microsoft will never be updating again. Any vulnerability found in XP at this point will never be covered. If you want to save yourself a headache of getting viruses removed it would be best to just pay the cash to upgrade to a new operating system or get a new machine altogether.
Moral of the story: Upgrade to a newer version of Windows.
