What if you have used nlite etc to strip down a windows OS, applied all the updates etc and installed it?

And i used a authentic XP install disc.

am i not protected?

On a laptop that is used around the house here, it is running that XP Gamer.iso

does that mean i'm not protected? even if i used a legit firewall and AV? and have a authentic license key and have all the available updates from ms installed?

Am just curious..
