The issues lie within the operating system, not with the malware.

I wouldn't have confidence in it at all. It would be simple to insert harmful code into a program, and there would be no solution. I doubt malwarebytes would even function with XP.

almost anything is vulnerable to randonsomeware, its running as your user and has access to all your files. Unless you check for patterns of changing files, or sandbox, there isn't much you can do.

I'm referring to common software applications. Demonstrate which ones function on Windows 10/8.1/7 and also on older versions like XP.

Your computer likely contains malware that slips past standard antivirus protection from various third-party tools you install.

You don’t rely on outdated vehicles without seatbelts. The shift away from such designs likely stems from safety concerns and evolving regulations. Reflect on why older systems are being phased out.
