Hi everyone, Happy New Year!

Since Microsoft will stop shipping Anti-Virus updates to the MS Security Essentials consumer product for XP when support ceases in April this year, does that mean our customers will no longer be receiving MS FEP anti-Virus updates for their XP machines as well?

Thank you.

Hi,

As far as i know, your FEP definitions can normally be updated on XP. it is not depend on your machine's OS.
