I noticed. This was around 2008-2010. I had a dinosaur of a machine sitting around and wanted to see what would happen if I connected XP to "the modern web."

I did a complete wipe and reinstall, installed either SP2 or SP3, whatever the last version was. Ensured that I had the latest drivers for all the hardware, and connected the Ethernet cable.

Result: Complete system lockdown in less than 5 seconds due to being taken over by bots. The system was unable to reboot on that particular install of XP. I reinstalled XP, got it functioning again, wrapped the computer in an anti static bag, and put it in my storage unit, knowing I would likely never touch the machine again.

I know this might be cliche but you could try putting Linux on it. We have old laptot that can't really run windows anymore but Linux runs fine on it.
