After Symantec bought Peter Norton's brand (late 1990), they've never lived up to his quality standards... I regret to disagree, but Norton Antivirus is a powerful resource hog and a very good generator of crappy false-positives, nothing more.

EDIT: This method has recently obtained noticeable popularity, and seeing the troubles of other users and more confusing methods on places such as YouTube, I thought it might be a good idea to revise and clarify this a little. Despite the fact that the damage has already been done, perhaps people who come across this topic can be helped. HOW TO FIX ROBLOX ON WINDOWS XP, VISTA, SERVER 2003, and SERVER 2008. I realize this topic is a few days old, but it is now August 30th which means we can see what this actually means. I'm actually quite surprised that they have continued support for this long, but like most companies, have finally fallen to the wrath of Microsoft. Anyway, I have not really played Roblox in years, but I decided to see what could be done for XP and Vista players now that support has officially ended. Open launching a game we greeted with this error message. This is the same usual crap that is endlessly spewed about and of course depends on your definition of 'secure'. I wouldn't really consider the inescapable mass data collection in Windows 10 'secure' either. Moving past this, download your favorite Hex editor. I choose Hex Workshop, but it really does not matter. You can find Roblox's installation folder by simply right-clicking on the Roblox shortcut and selecting 'Find target' (On Vista, it is called "open file location"). On my installation it was installed in the following: If for some reason you cannot find Roblox's installation directory, simply re-download the RobloxPlayerLauncher by clicking the "Download and install Roblox" website prompt after the client gives you the unsupported error. In fact, I recommend this even if you can find the directory because some users reported problems while editing the launcher found within the directory. Open your Hex Editor. (The following instructions will assume you have HexWorkshop, but it should be a similar process no matter what you use. Open 'RobloxLauncher.exe' in your Hex Editor. You can simply drag-and-drop the RobloxPlayerLauncher into your editor, or click the open file button and find it yourself (wherever you saved the launcher to, for example: Downloads). Next, press ctrl key and then 'F' You should see a search dialog box appear. There should be an option for what you want to search for, select "text string" in the drop down. Search for the text string "XpVistaDeprecationLevel". It should now be highlighted. Next, right click on the selection and press 'Fill'. There should be a prompt asking what you want to replace the data with. Simply type '0' into the field. When your done it should become something like this: Now try launching RobloxPlayer again... The client should have updated successfully, now go to the website and play a game: Roblox is now once again working on XP, Server 2003, 2008, and Vista! I'm not sure how long this will work for, if what they say is true, dependencies will become a problematic in the future. Hope this helps you and other players who are having this same problem!

If you delete your default gateway from your regular (non-vpn) connection that should act as a killswitch. I've used this before while using OpenVPN. I have a script 'disable.cmd' which is basically just this line: route delete 0.0.0.0 192.168.254.254 Where the 2nd IP address is just the address of your gateway/router.

thanks a lot! it works perfectly!

Thank you @Ruan for all the additions! Added them to the list. Also, Telegram Desktop now no longer supports Windows XP and Vista as of yesterday. A message that once said "Update your OS, Telegram is ending support for it on Sept 1." or something along those lines, now says this upon launching the application: I have archived the software installer along with its portable version here for those interested, and the link is also provided on the first post. SUMMARY OF CHANGES TO THE LIST FOR SEPTEMBER 2, 2019: Added PriviZer & Simple Software Restriction Policy to "Antivirus & Security software" section. Updated information on Telegram Desktop: version 1.8.2 is the last for Windows XP and Windows Vista; the software no longer supports these operating systems as of September 1, 2019. Added Hard Configurator, Revo Uninstaller Free, and SUMo Software Update monitor to "System Management, Cleanup, & Analysis" section.

Nope:

I would almost certainly be using Avast now if I could have got it working on my machine, but it absolutely refused to work, the main service would not start, cause unknown, so I ended up with Malwarebytes Premium, which I've been very happy with.

Got some time to update the repository and also organize it: Replaced Monthly Rollup with the new KB4512476 (located on the root directory of the repository) Added Security Only Update, KB4517301 (located in the folder "/Security Only (Post August 2018)") Replaced Internet Explorer Cumulative Update with KB4511872 (located in the folder "/Security Only (Post August 2018)") NEW Added instructions on how to install .NET Framework 4.7.2 on the "/Extras" folder NEW Added a Reg file to enable TLS 1.1 and 1.2 after installing KB4019276 located on the "/Extras" folder NEW Reorganized the old 2017-2018 individual security updates so they're easier to manage, removing every superseded update and putting them all in one folder. Check them out for yourself! https://mega.nz/#F!txxRyLzC!1vBMGzMHiL864f3bl1Rj1w This was a slow month for updates (makes my job a lot easier). Hope the repository has been helping everyone

Lel, Why people hate Windows Vista? Oh, its a kids.

Of course Vista has no "Documents and Settings," but I'm sure @Windows Vista will be able to find RobloxLauncher.exe if he cares to.

I think the OP is stuck in 2001 (or a spammer): Not a foreign feeling to me though, as I'm getting a P4 1.7 GHz box tomorrow!

So as the New Moon rises, all different computers rise to connect to the world's data net. An 18-year-old Pentium 3 can participate, too, thanks to New Moon. Thank you for this browser, a fantastic ally on Windows XP! Does anyone remember "Opensearch" plugins? In Netscape 9.0.0.6 of 2008 for example, there are some websites, that can be directly included in the search engine toolbar. However that seem to have gotten lost in newer browsers. The Palemoon search plugins feel like a step back in that perspective, because there is only a limited selection available.

I'm using the last version of Avast Free AV for XP (18.8.2356) on my netbook. There are some XP systems it won't work on for some undiagnosed reason, it won't work on my main machine, but on the netbook it's fine. Avast say it will continue to get definition updates for the foreseeable future. I did try Panda on my main machine a year or so ago, and it did have some problems, although again there is still supposed to be a legacy XP compatible version. Basically, I suspect that either of them would work for you unless you're unlucky like I was. Just try the free versions. If they don't work properly, just uninstall them and try something else!
