No.
Plan to upgrade it sometime in the next 6mo-1yr, and go with a good a-v 
and anti-malware program in the meantime. (yes, of course you should 
have already been doing the A-V and anti-malware!)

Your computer will not self destruct because MS doesn't send you any 
updates. Your vulnerability to malware will increase over a period of 
time, which you can mostly combat by the A-V software.

The browser is where most infections enter, aside from emails.
I'm pretty sure that Mozilla will continue updating Firefox for a fair 
while in versions that run on XP.
