Windows XP updates done 4/8/14....what about SP3?
I have Win Xp SP3. I read in Microsoft forum details that having SP3 means that I will still receive support updates automatically for my PC. Is this true?

I think you definitely want to be on SP3 and have the latest round of updates installed, but this month's updates are the last updates scheduled for XP. Windows might still check for other updates, but...
Running Windows XP (even fully patched up with SP3 and latest fixes), you probably will have an increasing risk of Windows and IE being attacked. Windows XP has been getting security patches every month for over a decade. So it seems likely that people will continue to discover vulnerabilities in Windows XP that, over time, will be exploited (i.e., used in attacks).
