XP and the Internet

$

I'm planning a clean install of 32 bit XP, and was wondering now that XP is out of updates what is the best way to go for internet security that still supports XP.

AntiVirus:  apparantly comodo now has min win7 requirements; avast is still providing virus updates for XP

Firewall: is windows firewall OK or is there something better that I should look at.

Sandbox: Is it worth adding an extra sandbox like sandboxie?

Browser: chrome and firefox are out. I have issues with both opening and displaying pages, though in different ways. Basilisk is now win7. I like UR-browser but Adaptive Bee claim it is min win7, however I've seen plenty of people who claim it still runs on XP. Has anyone got a recent version of UR running on XP? Or is there something else I should be looking at?

Malware checker: I think malwarebytes still runs on XP.

Are there any other must haves I should be looking at?

I know I'm going over the top a bit, but with no more updates from MS and what ever I choose to install is not likely to be supported much longer I feel I should do my best to take a long term view with security.

Thanks, for any advice you can give.
