Mine still works and actually received an up date for a malicious software removal tool dated Aug 14th? When it brakes, will just delete it from the hdd. Hardly use it anymore these days.

I can't swear if it works or not since I don't have a XP machine. Maybe you can follow up in this thread and say if it works or not.
