  1. Past hour
  2. I doubt that you really "have to". ie, enter a FAKE/TEMPORARY email address !!! I use GUERRILLA MAIL all the time for things like this. There are others. **NEVER** give out your real email. Not even my checking account has me REAL email. I do *NOT* want their monthly *CRAP* just to tell me a monthly statement is available.
  3. Can anyone advise me please... I have used SAB for some time and have mine licensed with no issues. However, I have just bought a small NUC box that I would also like to use it on, running Windows 11. How do I change / modify / purchase the appropriate additional license for that NUC box..? At the time mine was a singular license, only having access to the one PC. Thanks
  4. Maybe here is the solution to the low detection rate of Panda Dome: As described my earlier posting above, I did NOT activate Panda Dome. Therefore there was no apparent need to install ProxHTTPSProxy, HTTPSProxy or ProxyMII under WinXP as described in AstroSkipper's posting of 20Dec2025 https://msfn.org/board/topic/184730-antimalware-firewall-and-other-security-programs-for-windows-xp-working-in-2023-and-hopefully-beyond/page/83/#findComment-1284113 My old Inspiron 7500 is connected to the Internet via Ethernet, and the activity light of the Ethernet PC Card does NOT indicate any uploading activity during virus-checking by Panda Dome, i.e. Panda Dome is apparently using a built-in, rudimentary signature set, and was not uploading files for online checking. Panda Dome, however, did NOT give any messages that the virus-checking is incomplete and no online checking took place, e.g. because Panda Dome was not activated or because of a TLS problem. The two reviews by tomsguide and techradar, quoated in my earlier posting, were from the top search results displayed by the Yandex search engine. For my testing of Panda Dome I have been re-using "My personal in the Wild", described in my posting of 6Jul2024 (please scroll down there) https://msfn.org/board/topic/184730-antimalware-firewall-and-other-security-programs-for-windows-xp-working-in-2023-and-hopefully-beyond/page/70/#comments I do not want to enter my email address to activate Panda Dome, so I am done with my testing of Panda Dome.
  5. Today
  6. I still can't launch Mypal68 on Dependency Walker (exception in 0xFFFFFFEA): MP68_DW.txt I'm using the one from Firefox 52 (10.0.14393.33), obviously the ones from Mypal68 does not work at all. I have not managed to redirect UCRTBASE to MSVCR140 (MSVCP140?) as the api-ms-win files already redirected there (it still ask for UCRTBASE.DLL), if I redirect those to MSVCP140 it complains about MSVCP140:Free. UPDATE: I launched tried FineSSE and it's the showing same exception Also forgot to mention but I'm using the latest version 74.1.4 (don't be fooled, it's still 68). I'll test the older 68.1x.x versions and see if there's any differences. Update 2: Tested Mypal68 v68.13.1, same error 0xFFFFFFEA.
  7. The results are different: In 16 XUL does not load. In 17 it fails much later with thread 18 quitting after successfully loading WBEMSVC.dll. Were the symptoms the same? What versions of UCRTBASE.dll have you tried? Also try using KnownDLLs to redirect UCRTBASE to MSVCR140 or lower. The code at 406012 seems to just be checking for tampering in its own header, but makes no calls to UCRTBASE. 'First chance exception 0x406D1388 (Thread was named) occurred in "c:\program files\ff54_17\XUL.DLL" at address 0x0173AF59 by thread 10 "JS Helper".' -- This shows how a debugger can handle a RaiseException and continue without crashing. Mypal68 shouldn't be making that call when not running in a debugger. Try running Mypal68 in DW or Finesse.
  8. Dependency Walker logs, kinda strange that the broker services error did not appear when running the -17 version: FF54_DW.zip Also is this correct (procwin):
  9. Hello roytam1, You said: "Merry Christmas and please enjoy a freshly specially experimental build!" I hope you and everyone here had a merry Christmas. "....and please enjoy a freshly specially experimental build!" Well,......let the enjoyment begin: When trying to start basilisk.exe and palemoon.exe from https://o.rthost.win/basilisk/basilisk52-g4.8.win32-git-20251225-3219d2d-uxp-fd19819276-xpmod-ia32.7z and https://o.rthost.win/palemoon/palemoon-28.10.7a1.win32-git-20251225-d849524bd-uxp-fd19819276-xpmod-sse.7z these are the results:
  10. From FF54_17.log: Shortly after XUL.dll successfully loads, Firefox.exe gets its own handle ([FIREFOX.EXE]00406012:<KERNEL32.DLL>GetModuleHandleW|400000) then makes a call into UCRTBASE.dll which tries to explicitly load another dll. That load fails ([UCRTBASE.DLL]00665edf:<KERNEL32.DLL>LoadLibraryExW|0) and so does an attempt to get a module handle (GetModuleHandleExW|0). UCRTBASE then quits by calling ExitProcess, probably after displaying the broker services error message. FF54_16.log is the same. I see no evidence of a crash--Firefox.exe appears to terminate normally. If you Profile Firefox.exe in DependencyWalker, it should show the name of the dll UCRTBASE fails to load. While the broker services error is still displayed, looking in Procwin16 at the Firefox.exe code after 00406012 might reveal what UCRTBASE api before 00669c2c was called. Also the string passed to LoadLibraryW should be findable. As for KSTUB825.log, it is full and no longer logging anything. Just delete it to start a new log.
  11. Hi There is indeed a problem with Mypal 74.1.4 xp and Cloudflare. After human verification, it indicates an error and does not connect to the website and goes into an infinite loop, and this, on all websites requesting a cloudflare verification. This problem does not exist with Roytam browsers. test site... https://lostmediawiki.com
  12. Here I am. Several weeks passed and as I said, I was able to investigate from time to time. I don't consider myself lazy but I think that while I might be able to do the job, it would take me a long time to reach the level of experience of someone like Conan, who has been debloating for over a decade. What I did was use a more current ISO. I'm now using Windows X-Lite 11 Micro 23H2. The newer ones like 24H2 are not compatible with my processor. This ISO is only 1.5gb and once installed takes up only 2.7gb! Much more stable than Phoenix! Just in case left the older WiFi driver installed and so far I've had no problems. Was able to translate it to Spanish and completely disabled Windows Update. The only thing is TinyWall still refuses to be installed. Suspect some dependencies it requires don't exist. But I achieved stability..! I'm also using a little free app from Advanced SystemCare Ultimate called SmartRAM that intelligently frees up memory. Everything is going great after several weeks with all the programs I use installed.
  13. I already have the menu bar check marked on the Organize Bar. This has nothing to do with and I can't understand how anyone could confuse my report above of a real bug with check marking the menu bar under Organize. Some how get a clue WTF, WTF, WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🤪🤪🤪!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If everyone here is that goddamn f****** stupid, then I am f****** done with this f****** forum.
  14. One thing is clear. Panda Antivirus Free is a cloud-based anti-malware programme. You have to be connected to the internet and perform scans only online and not offline to get a reasonable detection rate.
  15. This review is 7 years old and therefore obsolete. My linked test is from this month, December 2025. On this side, you can read that its online protection score was a strong 99.25%. Of course, you can always pick out whatever you need for your argument.
  16. Reviews: "Panda's ability to catch malware lags behind that of many other free security products," from: https://www.tomsguide.com/us/panda-free-antivirus,review-3524.html "Its security scores may not be consistently impressive" from: https://www.techradar.com/pro/security/panda-dome I was also surprised at the score of 6/100. I initially thought that I had a wrong setting in Panda. The 100 files in my sample were from actual downloads from eMule, together with many good, clean files. I have two 2TB HDDs with flagged stuff from eMule, and could have increased the sample size to 10,000 infected files from eMule, but an initial check with 100 randomly picked infected files was good enough for me. I only wanted for myself an initial glance at the approximate detection capability of stuff from eMule, which may be different from the results of official tests by the professionals.
  17. Yesterday
  18. @VistaLover didn't talk about your "ancient version" but about Panda Antivirus Free. BTW, it doesn't make any sense to talk about your ancient version as it is no longer available for other users and therefore no option. Furthermore, I doubt the tests you carried out regarding Panda's detection rate. Panda has always achieved reasonable results in official tests. It is better to leave such tests to the professionals. Here is a current test with a comparison of 28 antivirus programmes from December 2025: https://softwarelab.org/best-antivirus-software/ Panda came in fourth place in this test with a detection rate of 99%. Here is a quotation from this test: Your detection rate of 6% is rubbish. Does Kaspersky pay you to spread such nonsense?
  19. According to the User Guides of the normal workstation edition and of the specced-down workstation edition for virus-checking, My ancient version of Kaspersky works Ok with Windows XP Professional x64 (SP2 or higher).
  20. I test-downloaded it, kerio-pf-2.1.5-en-win.exe is the identical installer file of v2.1.5 which I have been using under WinXP since 2008. After registering, the Registration tab in the window "Administration" changes to a License tab. One issue I remember was that Kerio crashed sometimes when a program was running in a sandbox under Sandboxie v5.22 under WinXP. I then unloaded Kerio while the program was running in the sandbox. After having finished running the sandboxed program I re-started Kerio. Another minor issue is a bloated filter.log file. Writing to the .log file can be disabled by -> Advanced button -> Miscellaneous tab -> de-select Log into file (filter.log). Disabling writing to the logfile has made uTorrent v3.3.2.30488 (17Jan2014) a little faster on my slow Inspiron 7500 (700MHz Pentium III).
  21. Probably for the same reason it doesn't install on WinXP Pro SP2 x64; the Panda devs, in a narrow-minded decision , have hardcoded WinXP to ONLY be NT 5.1; anything higher (e.g. 5.2) is assumed to be Vista+, for which they mandate a version of .NET FW > 4.0.x (4.6 to be precise):
  22. Recently needed one of those and by chance I found a live link. Also in my case it's more difficult 'cause I use Spanish language. Almost impossible to find those updates today. They seem to have been intentionally deleted from everywhere. Will try that later. Hope it works. Thanks!
  23. Panda Free Antivirus is more or less the last anti-malware programme with real-time protection for Windows XP free of charge. There are a few others, but they need a paid licence. The firewall I have been using for many years is the Sphinx Windows 10 Firewall Control Plus XP. Personally, I consider this firewall to be the best under Windows XP. And I've tried almost all of them.
  24. Yes, All Antivirus settings are green = enabled (Scan compressed files, Behavioral analysis etc) except for "Show warning upon detection" and "Scan after cache synchronization"
  25. Did you enable under Settings -> Antivirus the scanning of archives? The default is disabled if I remember correctly.
  26. Thanks for the additional information about Panda Dome. I will pass on trying the program out for now. Will hunt around for something else for WinXP. The Kerio Personal Firewall v2.1.5 is good and I may work with it again. I have used an older version of Zone Alarm for years but this past August I started having problems with the True Vector service frequently shutting down. Just in the last week I may have that problem solved ... will know in a week or two using the computer. I came across a post by a lawyer from 2010. He mentions Kerio Personal Firewall v2.1.5 and other various programs he likes. It's interesting reading. My list of useful and free/open source computer programs https://www.crookston.ca/wp/2010/05/07/my-list-of-useful-and-free-computer-tools/ Networking, Firewall Malwarebytes Firewall. Kerio Personal Firewall v2.1.5. ONLY WORKS ON WINDOWS XP AND LOWER. – Free firewall. The best version of this program is an old one: v2.1.5. It is quick, fast, customizable, and runs with a low memory footprint. It is the same program as “Tiny Personal Firewall”, just with a different name. You can find it out on the Internet. The current version of Kerio is 4.x. That version is offered for a 30 day trial of its advanced features which get locked out after that period (which you don’t really need anyway), after which it is free. – It’s good, but more memory intensive than v2.1.5. – NOTES: 137-139 (NetBIOS); 135 (RPC endpoint mapper), 445, 593 (DCOM-Distributed Computing) Just to add ... Kerio Personal Firewall v2.1.5 can be downloaded here if anyone is interested. Searched around and this link works. https://www.emule-security.org/download.php?view.3 ...
  27. should be this menu
  28. It seems it is only working for the Realtek ALC2xx at this time, for other Realtek codecs it is not finding the correct output pathway. Will troubleshoot more when I have a chance. If anyone here is getting a resource conflict at 0000-3FFF like mskrzynski, please try the latest version of Patcher9x released a few days ago to correct the above 4gb resources bug. https://github.com/JHRobotics/patcher9x/releases/tag/v0.9.91
