My computer was risen from the dead, what do I need to update? - Tilted Forum Project - TFP - Sexuality, Philosophy and Political Discussion

I just fixed my laptop that had some messed up host files and could not get the internet for 2 years. I will start using it more, instead of relying on my work laptop.

What updates do I need to make to it from the last few years it was retired? I know several security changes have taken place in many programs. It is a windows machine with XP Home and that is pretty out of date. I can update those and my IE. Anything other suggestions?

Get the latest FireFox and XP SP2 if you don't already have it.
