Windows XP will be officially retired on April 8, 2014, and along with that, Redmond will also be reducing Security Essentials support for that version of the operating system.
Kaspersky's anti-virus products, on the other hand, will continue to support Windows XP after April 8, as the company officially announced, meaning that users who continue to use this platform will still be protected.
According to a report from CIOL, Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2013 and Kaspersky Internet Security 2013 will continue to work on Windows XP for an indefinite period of time, while Kaspersky Endpoint Security 10 will stop providing support for Windows XP in the second quarter of 2016.
Windows XP is still one of the leading operating systems on the market, with data provided by Net Applications indicating that it is installed on nearly 28% of computers worldwide.
