There are now (at the end of 2025) very, very few anti-malware programmes for Windows XP with real-time protection free of charge. Panda Free Antivirus is an absolute exception. It is still maintained and runs under Windows XP. Here are two screenshots of the current version 22.03.05, which has just been released: An anti-malware programme with a most recent scan engine and up-to-date virus definitions even under very old OSes like Windows XP or Windows Vista. What more could be wanted? Here is the link to my updated article: Cheers, AstroSkipper

It's my own personal opinion that it was done intentionally so D.Draker's name and maybe a few others, would drop off the 'Popular Contributors' list in time ... which finally happened in the last three weeks, or so. I actually miss his name no longer on the list ... it was interesting watching his 'contributor count' go up and down. I hope I am wrong about the 'topic views' ... but since October nothing, lots of '0s' starting to show up. ...

Generally, Panda Antivirus Free is working under Windows XP, even in the most recent version. However, there are two issues. The first issue which I noticed is the unability to connect to a Panda Dome account. Every time you open the programme interface, you are annoyed by a pop-up window asking you to log in to a Panda Dome account. However, this does not work under Windows XP and ends with an error message. There is no official solution for this error. But I have a solution. It appears to be a TLS problem. A secure connection is required, which Windows XP cannot establish natively. The solution is ProxHTTPSProxy, HTTPSProxy or ProxyMII which you can get in my thread Simply set the proxy in the Panda Antivirus settings and set up your Panda Dome account. Once this is done, Panda will no longer bother you, and the proxy settings can be deleted again. The second issue consists of a delay of several minutes during system start-up. Panda Antivirus needs round about 5 minutes to be completely loaded on my machine. I tried different versions and possible solutions, but nothing helped. Therefore, this issue has been reported by me to Panda's support. We will see what happens. Greetings from Germany, AstroSkipper

I was able to login in with OAth2 using MailNews with an outlook account. I had to go in the config editor and set *general.useragent.compatMode.firefox* to true. Then the Microsoft login page displayed properly and worked. Hope it helps some folks, I am using windows server 2003

As part of my work on ytBATCH, I have investigated many ffmpeg releases that are supposed to be compatible with Windows XP. These include, for example, the releases from @Reino, sherpya and @autodidact. The relatively new ones from @Reino and @autodidact work well with YouTube. But when it comes to TV streams, it's a completely different story. Their latest ones in particular have considerable problems with TV stream URLs. On my old Windows XP computer, negative performance changes are immediately apparent. FFmpeg 3.4.1 from 2017 is too old and can no longer access TV stream addresses. The newer releases 7.1 from 2024 and 8.1 from 2025 require much more CPU power than before. They are therefore problematic for older, weak Windows XP computers. That's why I still have been using ffmpeg releases from 2019 for TV stream addresses.

I believe in those numbers, as I already stated, I don't trust someone will perform the fake scheme you just described. People have things in life, apart from the forum, you know! Besides, it's easy to check, as I already stated, too! So what? It's my business in what to believe. But at this point, it's too obvious you're very annoyed with someone else's fame. I also think there was a hidden reason to disable topic views. As already stated by @Monroe. Otherwise they would've gotten them back by this time already.

Yes. All builds of ytdlp-silent-xp.exe have been tested by me on my Windows XP computer. Unfortunately, none of them are working, not even the latest.

For anyone who isn't familiar with LUA scripts. My mod of the LUA script yt-dlp4vlc does the following: YouTube links entered in VLC are now processed by the YouTube downloader yt-dlp and are then transferred to VLC and played back. Credits to FalloNero. The console window is hidden either by a PowerShell command or by the tool hidecon if the latter exists in VLC's programme folder. Video links without appended quality parameter can now be played again with the quality preset by the user in the VLC settings. The default video codec has been preset by me to h264 so that even older hardware is supported. This can of course be changed in the script by the users according to their needs.

@DesWer on GitHub in the Rumble thread asked me for a link to my Python for XP environment. Well, here it is, complete with all current dependencies installed: Python311_XP-folder.7z Extract it to e.g. C:\Python311 and add that folder, plus C:\Python311\Scripts to your PATH. Instead of building the standalone executable with PyInstaller, you can use pip to install the Nightly build directly: python -m pip install -U --pre "yt-dlp[default]" That will install/update the dependencies as well. (yt-dlp Nightly from 2026.01.02 is already included)

The old download link I used in my ytBATCH releases was https://github.com/nicolaasjan/yt-dlp/releases/latest/download/yt-dlp_x86_Windows-XP.zip which is no longer working. As you can see, at some point you changed the file name of the ZIP archive. For me. no problem. I have already rewritten the yt-dlp update module for the upcoming release of ytBATCH.

hmm, confirmed v30i and v31 also works. and it seems to be broken in v31a and later. since there is no release note and/or changelog for v31a, nothing is known besides ntdll and kernel32 are newer in v31a.

yes it is always an issue because GetLogicalProcessorInformation is missing in XP SP2. you may either update kernel32.dll with that API available(i.e. WindowsXP-KB936235-v2): http://kmeleonbrowser.org/forum/read.php?19,143253,page=10 or patching your target application with kernelxp and patchk32. https://github.com/roytam1/rtoss/tree/master/kernelxp a patched SP52 running on just-installed XP SP2 VM: or unpatched SP52 build on WindowsXP-KB936235-v2-x86-ENU installed XP SP2 VM:

Apparently, I'm not the only one who has noticed such abnormal delays when starting up Panda while system start: 16 minutes! That's record-breaking. Any other here observing similar issues?

If you encounter problems installing Panda Antivirus Free and uninstalling it fails or is incomplete, you should use the Panda Dome Generic Uninstaller, which is available here: https://techsearch.pandasecurity.com/PandaKBView?id=kA1Vr00000064QjKAI

Microsoft .NET Framework 4 is needed and should be installed to ensure that Panda Dome runs correctly.

Ran into a small problem after downloading your 'offline installer' download. I got offline to run the download and found out that I need to have .NET Framework also installed. I did have .NET Framework 2.0 installed years ago but removed it. Didn't seem to have much use for it on Win XP at the time. If there were any programs that might require it I was always able to find another program that didn't need .NET Framework to run. I have all the .NET Framework versions that worked on XP stored on a DVD backup with other old Win XP programs ... in case needed one day. I think at the time .NET Framework 3.5 was the last version to work on XP but after getting back online to search around I now see that there is a .NET Framework 4.0 that will install on Win XP SP3. I have now downloaded that version but I may just try .NET Framework 2.0 first out of curiosity and see if that works. If not then I can jump to version 4.0. That version from MS is dated from last year: 07/15/2024 ... I will put the MS link here in case someone else has need for it. Microsoft .NET Framework 4 (Standalone Installer) https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=17718 Date Published: 07/15/2024 Supported Operating Systems: Windows 7, Windows 7 SP 1, Windows Vista SP 1, Windows XP SP 3 Windows XP SP3 Windows Vista SP1 or later Windows 7 Windows 7 SP1 Supported Architectures: x86 x64 Thanks ...

AstroSkipper ... Just came across you're updated information dealing with Windows XP and Panda Free Antivirus. Around two weeks ago I was actually looking for any antivirus programs still working with WinXP in 2025. Didn't find any after doing a quick search on some programs that worked many years ago and reading your earlier post on the subject. Thanks again for the update on this valuable information for Windows XP users. ...

This thread is about anti-malware programmes under Windows XP. BTW, there is definitely no need to use an "ancient version of whatever" under Windows 10. And talking about your "ancient version" is like "beating a dead horse". A version of this programme running under Windows XP has not been available for a long time. And it gets even worse: the programme is not secure, and its country of origin is beyond good and evil. In my next article, I will post something current for Windows XP.

Personally, I don't expect modern websites that are full of multimedia or completely overloaded to still run in UXP browsers under old OSes like Windows XP, but I am happy about those that still do. All others are called up by me under Android 10 and above. That's why I'm extremely relaxed about the whole thing. The more websites running in New Moon or Serpent, the better, but if not, then that's just the way it is.

https://github.com/e3kskoy7wqk/Chromium-for-windows-7-REWORK He made few reworked versions. It also can support XP and Vista without extended kernels

First of all, thanks for uploading the files! I was surprised to learn that there is supposed to be a .NET Framework version 4.0.30320 for Windows XP. I couldn't find anything about it in any official source. In any case, your installer "Microsoft .NET 4.0.30320 Full" is the same one I have, and it has the number 4.0.30319.1. Presumably, at least for Windows XP, there is no version 4.0.30320. You can find out your current version installed with the following command: reg query "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v4\Full" /v Version The MS Visual C++ 2010 SP1 (10.0.40219.473) installer is indeed the last one you can still get from Microsoft or from abbodi1406. I will try later. In any case, thanks again!

It's a way to say thank you! Or you prefer paypal? @NotHereToPlayGames, I've examined your profile for the last two years. After D.Draker disappeared. you barely posted for a year, and I understand you, we all were, still are, and will be in a depression. But the year before that, also rather weak posting, not to count the endless off-topic posts filled with displeasure and disgust about other members' popularity, what's the explanation for that? A friendly advice, jealousy isn't a good thing, start making contributions to MSFN, you will get the feedback! As of now. you will still have zero views on your topics, even if they fix the counter. Take a look, while I was on holidays, D.Draker got another thousand of views, all despite being absent! Take example.

Reputation count doesn't mean anything, it is just a button to click if you want. The only times such a system actually works is when positive rep is tied to something meaningful, like a question/answer system or feedback on sales. Topic views being 0 is certainly a bug. That has never been a setting for any version of IPS or any other forum software I've ever used.

Absolutely right. This is completely off-topic. That's why I called him "King of off-topics" long ago. No one needs to know. One of his favourite citations. Even called me "Wayward Son" in the past.

Ok, as I made all enhancements to the driver which I planned (and some checks of NT version of this driver too) now I have time to test some very strange info that @Omores was the first to discover: On some CSMs Int 13h for NVMe does not work only for Extended version of this service (Functions 4xh Read/Write) and works for Standard (Legacy) under [Protected] Virtual 8086 Mode. I literally could not believe in this stupidity but after my own test on above mentioned system I can say that this is TRUE. What does it mean? You can boot from non LBA (old DOS) FAT versions of MBR partition (0Bh for FAT32, 06h for FAT16) exactly as Omores did. To fast check that your system has this bug/workaround just run: http://sweetlow.orgfree.com/download/hdsize.zip (if you will get error under Chrome try to copy/past this address into browser address line directly for the second time) HDSIZE.EXE /R1 and HDSIZE.EXE /E /R1 under DOS+EMM386 if you can boot from some other (non NVMe) drive. If you will get error (9 with high probability) or this: "Read 1 Sectors @ 0 LBA... Success, but these sectors are untouched: 0" message on some (NVMe) drive for the first command and no errror for the second then you have exactly such problem.

Many programmes come with their own OpenSSL modules to establish secure connections. If such a programme is no longer updated, it is only a matter of time before secure connections can no longer be established. Local updating of the OpenSSL files by the user, if possible at all, can then help. A global installation of a current OpenSSL version will not help at all in such cases, as it is simply not used.

My new beloved superhero, @autodidact : https://msfn.org/board/profile/398146-autodidact/content/ This most kind, generous and altruistic person is also a member on the videohelp.com forums, where he's been releasing Win7-compatible FFmpeg builds periodically; and here, he's doing the same for Vista/XP users; in some way, he's picked up the baton from Reino (whose very old, SSE-only, PC with XP died one year ago) ... As I said, it was by necessity ; but I don't think he's regretted it ...

Thanks. I first installed MS .NET Framework v4.0 (18Mar2010) under WinXP SP3. Then I installed OK Panda Dome v21.01.00 under WinXP. I selected "Offline installation" during installation. I have not yet activated the program because activation requires entering an email address. After the first run the Settings window indicates "Last updated 12/26/2025". First the good news: Panda Dome v21.01.00 runs OK under WinXP on my old Inspiron 7500 (700 MHz Pentium III, SSE-only). The program does not seem have a conflict with other programs installed. Kerio Personal Firewall v2.1.5 has no issues with the program. It is even possible to run My Ancient version of Kaspersky simultaneously with Panda Dome, no conflict. Now the bad news: I made a virus-check with Panda Dome v21.01.00 of "My personal in the Wild", which is a collection of 100 infected files downloaded with eMule. I had prepared this collection a year and a half ago for testing-purposes by taking at random 100 files from a HDD full of infected downloads from eMule. Panda Dome v21.01.00 flagged only 6/100 files [msg: 8,531 scanned, 7 detected, i.e. 1 file was flagged twice, because of multiple infections], Only 6 files were quarantined, and 94 infected files were left as "clean" in the folder \My personal in the Wild_6Jul2024\ For comparison: When I ran My ancient version of Kaspersky with this test set of 100 infected eMule files, Kaspersky scanned 171,873 files contained in the various .rar, .zip, .exe etc in \My personal in the Wild_6Jul2024\ and, detected 167 viruses, trojans etc. 99 files were cleaned, the single file which was flagged but not cleaned was a .rar file containing in turn infected multi-part .rar files. Panda Dome v21.01.00 does NOT install under Windows Server 2003 SP2. When I tried to install it under Win2003 SP2 I got the incorrect error message: "You must upgrade your version of .NET Framework". Panda Security apparently did not prepare a recent corporate edition for Windows Server, maybe no demand. Kerio Firewall flags a file named "TUNNEL.EXE", which has to be given permissions. Which IT-Manager would be inclined to license software which opens a tunnel into corporate computers? BTW, Panda Security is a Spanish company https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panda_Security which was acquired in March-June 2020 by the U.S. company WatchGuard https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WatchGuard BTW, Kerio Personal Firewall v2.1.5 (30Apr2003) does not have a Server version either, but is still my favorite firewall under WinXP.

Hi To make all new versions of Roytam browsers work under XP SP2, here is the simplest solution... download:CFF-Explorer.exe https://ntcore.com/files/CFF_Explorer.zip Launch CFF Explorer.exe and open the file in the Roytam browser Open concrt140.dll, click on Import Directory, and then click on kernel32.dll then click on the line 00037E0A - 00037E0A - 0256 and Change the function name from "GetLogicalProcessorInformation" to "FindNextFileA", and then Click on Save. do this for all roytam browsers and it now works for xp sp2.

I suppose your investigation results are quite valuable to XP SP3 users on old and under-resourced H/W; so, thanks for your time spent ; however, unless one had downloaded to disk v21.01.00 when it was still current, it's now a real task to find working/valid links to actual (off-line) installers to it ; I did a simple G-search for it and ALL results on pages 1-3 point to (mostly) stub or off-line installer-links hosted on the vendor's (PANDA) servers; but these tend to download the latest version of the software, not the older one we're after ; I did succeed in the end in finding links to offline installers for v21.01.00, but these were self-hosted on Iranian and/or Russian sites, so, as you can understand, I won't share them publicly here ; other than that, is there a special setting one should configure in v21.01.00 so that it doesn't auto-update to a more recent version? FWIW, v23.00.00 has now become the latest (digitally signed 22/12/2025) ... Kindest greetings.

The counter has not been working since maintenance in October. Perhaps simply disabled.

Apparently, I'm not the only one who has noticed such abnormal delays when starting up Panda while system start: 16 minutes! That's record-breaking. Any other here observing similar issues? Until Panda fixes this bug, I will avoid using the latest version 22.03.05. When starting my Windows XP computer, I am not prepared to accept lazy compromises. The start-up process must run smoothly as I always managed in the past. Panda offers two different installers, one of which is a "legacy" one. This installer does not solve the delayed start-up problem either. All 22.0x.0x versions have start-up problems on my computer. Especially the PSANHost.exe process leads to a full utilisation of the system during computer start-up. During my tests and investigations, I have now also looked at older versions. One of these seems to run much better, with a start-up behaviour that appears almost normal. Let's see if this proves to be true over the next few days.

I was having many problems with Mypal68 74.1.2 shutting down on many websites ... after updating to Mypal68 74.1.3 in early December, all those problems have gone away. Mypal68 74.1.3 is very stable for my WinXP system with only a 'very rare' shutdown. I also use New Moon but it has problems with some websites. Mypal68 74.1.3 has now become my main WinXP daily browser. Thanks for your work and this newer update. ...

The two programs I use for this area of trouble, usually to un-associate a program I've accidentally used forgetting to uncheck the, annoyingly, Windows checked by default 'make default' tick box rather than what is described here as being the problem are:- https://defaultprogramseditor.com/ and https://www.softpedia.com/get/System/OS-Enhancements/Unassoc.shtml I was thinking that you could try to un-associate everything already associated with opening a .pdf then with that clean slate trying to associate the program wanted. I find it a bit unusual that a 'proper' PDF viewer like Adobe Reader, Sumatra or Foxit are not amongst the options as usually, arrogantly, Adobe will assign itself by default to open any .pdf file type. So even if you use something else you'd expect to see it in the list. Whether these programs will help in this case I do not know but they're useful tools to have particularly as they both work with XP and Win7.

I don't think so, KB3072630 is an update of MSI Installer of 2015.

I would gladly help you and the others , but I don't see any connections like these in my version , that I made from scratch . Where did you see I said so ? I meant, it's no wonder that something that came from russians connects to KGB servers . I'm trying to be helpful and friendly , but it just seems so strange why would you not entirely believe the others (at least two) members from France , who are reporting weird traffic and Yandex connections . Perhaps it's checking which country they are in and connects accordingly ! I think it's no coinsidence that both of them are from France !!! Again , it's just seems to me , due to some of your replies ,where you kinda bothered by any of the members saying something which is not in favour of the russians and it seems to be kinda overprotective . Just sayin' , No offence.

Short story : just like the topic says . Longer story : I'm a sucker for great audio and video ! No wonder it was my job since the early 1990s. I have an audiophile sound card (several , actually) . On a clean Vista (with any official SP) the sound quality is fantastic ! Also, the video quality is full RGB and with rich and vibrant colours , but as soon as I install almost any update after the platform update , it becomes terrible , muddy , muffled , sandy sounding . Like it's having an obstacle (a pillow) , for example. Have you ever encountered something similar ?

jaclaz , I'm terribly sorry . I was talking about Uninterrupitble Power Supply , not the {awful} company UPS . In my opinion, all private companies like DHL Express and UPS are very bad with their own "rules". If you are talking about DHL POST of Germany , then I agree - it is much, much better . I only had one broken box from them . Got damaged somewhere in Leipzig. But the goods (to my surprise) arrived in one piece. EDIT : This is NOT because I don't like private property. I'm just stating the facts gathered from my friends , family and my personal encounters with these companies.
