Windows XP Professional and end of support
We currently use Microsoft Forefront for our Antivirus on our campus. With the support of XP being done in a year, I was wondering if the Antivirus would no longer work with XP? I need to know if the virus definitions would still stay up to date.

Hi,
Thank you for the post.
As far as I know, once the OS has reached end-of-life it will no longer receive security updates. Again, not specific to FEP, but it is significant in the overall security and compliance story for these systems. An unpatched security vulnerability will allow malware to compromise the machines, FEP will not provide sufficient defenses against these vulnerabilities.
