You will not (in all probability) get XP updates. Microsoft has ceased to issue them (apart from as mentioned above).
You have probably ticked the box for "other updates" which could apply to things like Office, third party software etc etc

ElizabethK - Microsoft announced that they would release a patch for the Heartbleed "bug" so it is quite likely that.
You should be able to check what it is suggesting you download.

Sidenote for anyone thinking of upgrading from XP to W8 - if you are running a machine with XP, which suggests it is pretty ancient, in all likelihood you will struggle to run W8 at best
