Reading between the lines, MS is maintaining virus signature updates but isn't going to cover XP-specific exploits.

Does that sound about right?

Cheers

1372312 2014-04-09 01:09:00 Basically correct - See here windows.microsoft.com You wont be able to download it again for XP either. From memory, the updates for MSSE end in july 2015.

Although, MSSE is not as good as it was originally, misses to much and easily damaged by malware.
