According to Microsoft's official "end of support" site for Windows XP, it will no longer provide Microsoft Security Essentials for download on Windows XP.
And we don't just mean that Microsoft won't be updating the app with any new virus definitions or signatures. Worse, Microsoft Security Essentials is going away as well. Companies will still be able to pay Microsoft for additional support after-the-fact normal users will almost certainly be out of luck. You'll still be able to activate your version of Windows XP, you just won't receive any new patches and likely won't be able to find any updated drivers for your operating system. April 8 is the official cutoff, which means that Microsoft will publish a grand total of zero automatic updates for the operating system after the fact.
In fact, we can recall a pledge the company made back in 2008 that it would support Windows XP all the way through 2014. Microsoft's official, end-of-support date for Windows XP shouldn't come as news for anyone who has touched a computer in the past five years or so. Not only is support for the operating system ending, but you will also lose your ability to benefit from Microsoft's free antivirus and anti-malware app, Microsoft Security Essentials.
