Second link says this down the page

          Will Microsoft Security Essentials be supported after April 8,
          2014?

Microsoft Security Essentials 
<http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security-essentials-download>will 
not be available for download on Windows XP after April 8, 2014. If you 
already have Microsoft Security Essentials installed, you will continue 
to receive anti-malware signature updates through July 14, 2015. 
However, please note that PCs running Windows XP after April 8, 2014 
should not be considered protected.

Not third party updates.
