    No, you can not.

    Additional to Stephen Boots good advice above, here you can find some additional info about the end of support for MSE on WinXP:

    Honestly, running XP with any antivirus is still risky as XP has not been patched in over a year against exploits.

    IMPORTANT - End of Life XP: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/endofsupport.aspx

    MSE will no longer install on XP.

    However, if you must...

    See the following compliments of quietman7 MS MVP : Choosing an Anti-Virus Program

    SP3 standalone installer -- https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=24

    (Pretty sure it is still available for download)
