    I'm open for suggestions. "Decoding is better done on hardware" doesn't sound like an option, I'm just looking to watch movies, not buy thousands of dollars in recording studio equipment. So I've been trying dozens of different software-based options.

    I see you tastes, you're better off converting Dolby/DTS to the old school PCM and then pass to AV, PCM sounds much more pleasant and softer. No "Crash! Boom! Bang!".

    I've now activated the 30-day trial, which I had forgotten about! Unfortunately, although it has activated other disabled functions, there's still no real-time protection. As you can see, the protection controls are still greyed out. Do you think it's worth trying version 15? I suspect they will just say that version 16 is no longer XP compatible. One other thing I noticed is that if I have it set to run at start-up, there is quite a long annoying pause in the start-up sequence, which is not good!

    Already has dialogue "normalisation", I usually remove it! Could you be over-normalasing it? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dialnorm

    Decoding is better done on hardware. this limiter, it only limits, not deconing? Looks like it does, no?

    BTW, I contacted the Adlice support and filed a request in terms of XP-compatibility. They opened a support ticket. We will see what comes out of it.
  8. AstroSkipper
    Did you activate the 30 days trial?

    Actually, forget the bit about the service, I just needed to reboot! The service is now running, but I still have the 'Protection not available with this operating system' message. Perhaps I should try version 15?

    OK, update time! I installed the portable version of version 16.5.4.0 and that seemed to work fine, although with the 'Protection not available in portable mode' notice. I then tried the installer version, which seemed to install fine, but with the warning 'the service is not running'. I looked and found the RogueKillerSvc.exe file in the program's folder. Running it seemed to work OK, but I now have 'Protection not available with this operating system'! It seems to do manual scans OK, so I don't know what that actually means. Of course there is no real-time protection as it's the free version.

    For now I've gone back to the 2025.12.17 basilisk 55 version since that still works right. Figure there must have some kind of change in the browser in the 2025.12.25 update.
  13. AstroSkipper
    That was of course clear. But which one of the legacy versions?

    Most probably the "Legacy" version, as compared to the WebExtension. As an end user, I wouldn't say there's much difference. They both block content excellently. Yes, the WebExtension is newer, more optimized and maintained but with careful filterlist selections, you can achieve excellent results with "Legacy" too. I might even assume that due to its XUL nature, "Legacy" could have some tricks under its sleeve that the WebExtension doesn't, but this is just an assumption. The latest MV3 version aka uBO Lite, is the one to avoid: Less power, less features, as dictated by Google.

    I didn't notice any problems while installing or uninstalling. About running for a longer time with real-time protection I can't say anything but the portable installation can't produce any compatibility issues. BTW, my Malwarebytes Premium 3.5.1 installation still exists on my Windows XP partition.

    Released Alpha-014 which ignores outputs marked as not connected by the BIOS pin configuration. https://github.com/andrew-hoffman/WDMHDA/releases/tag/Alpha-014

    Curiouser and curiouser, as Alice famously said! I will investigate and report back. I will stick with the portable versions, as they will be easier to clean off the system if I decide not to proceed. I'm hoping that installing RogueKiller/Adlice Protect will not cause problems with it running side by side with Malwarebytes, as I don't want to uninstall that until I know I've got a viable replacement.
  18. AstroSkipper
    @Dave-H The more recent portabel versions create a sub-directory called RogueKiller with some files, i.e. settings, logs, reports and signatures inside. But they do not load any drivers which, however, are necessary for real-time protection. Apart from that, I already posted a screenshot of the main interface of the portable version where I marked red: Schutz in Portable-Modus nicht verfügbar which means translated: Protection not available in portable mode. BTW, I found this in their changelog: Although the most recent installer version 16.5.4.0 wasn't able to load its driver when I tested it, it is possible that some previous installer of version 16 still work under Windows XP, even if the Adlice homepage now requires Windows 7 as a minimum requirement. Have a look here: Maybe. it is again an issue of the free version. What you can do is to try out the most recent installer version or a previous one as a 30-day trial version. Then you will definitely know and can report back here.

    The main difference is that it is still being developed and improved. Gorhill abandoned the legacy version many years ago and JustOff took over. However JustOff hasn't been heard from since the war broke out in Ukraine.

    @NotHereToPlayGames Thanks for the clarification! @AstroSkipper Are you absolutely sure that even the premium version of the portable version does not do real-time scanning? That's pretty fundamental, and I can find no reference to it on the Adlice site.
  21. NotHereToPlayGames
    Portables *can* be .exe's. Common "wrappers" that bundle everything into an .exe is Cameyo, Spoon, Thinapp (used to be called Thinstall), et cetera. If truly portable, any folder that the .exe creates will be created within the folder that contains the .exe and not to external locations like Program Files or Windows folders. If truly portable, any registy entries required are created "internally" and not within the OS's registry. Often times, the OS registy is TEMPORARILY used by portable apps, but the registry entries are REMOVED when the portable app is exited/closed.
  22. Dave-H
    Oh, that is a PITA! Why does the portable version appear as an exe file? They're usually zip files containing the necessary files for the program to work if it's just extracted to a folder.
  23. AstroSkipper
    Yes. Try a quick scan and you will see. The real-time protection is not available in the portable version, even using the premium one.

    So I could use the portable version of version 16 on XP? In what way is the portable version restricted relative to the installer version, and do you know if that applies to the paid version?
  26. AstroSkipper
    But only in the hope that the older installer versions will continue to be supported and supplied with signatures. You buy a license, but the current installer can no longer be used under Windows XP. The portable version is unfortunately restricted compared to the installer one.

    You can't directly find such links on their homepage. I checked the current links and replaced the file name to the one I wanted. Here is a link to their portable 32-bit version 15.19.2.0: https://cloud.adlice.com/owncloud/index.php/s/QE2fq4D24A1IKEb/download?path=15.19.2.0&files=RogueKiller_portable32.exe. I checked the most recent version again. The installer version 16.5.4.0 doesn't work properly under Windows XP but the portable version 16.5.4.0 still seems to work.
