   Windows update should still work for applying any updates not yet applied.   
      
   Even after the expiration date there may still be updates coming for   
   /some/ Microsoft software...plus MS has decided to extend support for   
   MSE through mid 2015.   
      
      
   If you want to use the Avast virus checker, they say they will support   
   XP for at least three more years.   
      
   Plus I am sure the updates for Firefox and Chrome will keep coming for a   
   few more years.   
      
   My suggestion would be to no longer use Internet Explorer
