My mind is at odds with my age. My body has not been what it used to be for a long time. I give an upvote for the maturing of the spirit, but a downvote for the maturing of the body. And waiting for death doesn't really make sense, because the black bird comes all by itself. Instead, delight us with your excellent analyses and your knowledge of the code.

pure coincidence once again ? @D.Draker https://msfn.org/board/topic/177099-which-antiviruses-are-known-for-a-fact-to-be-working-on-xp-sp3-as-of-2019/?do=findComment&comment=1242164

Kid, when someone says he wants to report a child (who is obviosly without its parents observation) to child services, it's NOT *threatening *, it's called caring and protection of underaged children against the dangers of overposting in the internet. Also, it means you have to study more, since you still don't understand the meaning of English words, even after 13 years of studying it. Will you leave me alone, finally?

Please stop stalking me and stop replying to my posts, otherwise I may have to report you to the moderators and to the underaged child care services in your country, possibly even police, because those who are under 21 must get a special written permission from the parents to access the internet and make posts, according to your country's laws for underaged children.

What did I tell you before? Where do you see your name?

I agree to this. The pronoun "you" should be better used according to its nature as the second-person pronoun. In the English language, there already exists a collective pronoun "one" to prevent misunderstandings. Personally, I always try to express myself as clearly as possible. And there is a big difference between using "you" in the written language and the spoken language. Non-verbal communication cannot be used in written language.

Just a friendly advice, the same I gave you before, you better edit the post and remove the "plotilitians" word (misspeled on purpose) to avoid reports, it doen't offend me or my dad from the same gen., but a user whose name starts with "m" miha89O7 might report you again because he reports everything that even slightly suggests anything political, be cautious, I read you already got a warning,

In Modern English, you is the second-person pronoun, but in your local dialect, which we obviously don't speak, maybe.

Many Americans, particularly those of the postwar “Baby Boom” generation (of which I am a relatively young member), seem to imagine that old age has been conquered, and that there is no such thing as cognitive decline (and therefore no such thing as being too old to run for elected office). I have played chess since I was a youngster and competed in chess tournaments, and I regret to inform my generation that cognitive decline is an inescapable fact of life! Consider that there has never been a world chess champion who was 60 years old, and only four men managed to hang on to the title beyond age 50 (none within the last 60 years). It’s obviously not because we are too feeble to move the chess pieces. Experience? Wisdom? Those things count for next to nothing when confronting a bright young CPU with uncorrupted chess software! They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and there is an image on Twitter that perhaps makes this point more eloquently than I can (although you might not be able to see it using one of those Windows XP browsers): https://twitter.com/BobbyFischerTru/status/1599805129209049090

I've had enough. This thread is now locked and anyone continuing to bully, stalk, or whatever the heck is going on whether it be through other threads or private messages is getting a 30 day cooldown period, no exceptions. Let this be the last warning issued.

I too saw the awful, terrible and perverted things they wrote there about MSFN, while it was offline!

I already know this comment. It was posted not long after MSFN became unavailable. I had to read shameful things in this specific thread, which may be detrimental and contrary to the mental health of a genuine MSFN member.

Finally you acknowledged you and your friend stalking/offensive behaviour, now everyone sees it.

I have no words! The poor fellow ...

Of course not! They both check my profile every second. BTW, that post is 0.0000000001% of what you didn't see, before it got deleted after an MSFN member discovered that nest. I mean the amount of dirt they put on MSFN members before the deletion of their was simply jaw-breaking! It needs to stop.

the troll is on fire. RIP MSFN, 2001-2023 ''I almost agree with your statement. I say "almost", because not all the members that I talked to there at MSFN were nice (I actually count the members that are genuinely nice and helpful), some have fought long arguments with me, and some are pretending to be calm, nice and kind-hearted (the 2 guys that did this along with "fought arguments with me" are: 2 guys (whose names start with "D") (one with France flag, and the other with Dutch flag, both run Vista x64), 1 guy (whose name start with "A", runs XP Pro x86) (with Germany flag) and 1 guy (whose name start with "m", runs XP Pro x86) (with French flag), so it's only a select few that were indeed nice. (with VistaLover and roytam1 being the first, since they are both always calm, kind-hearted, respected and nice) Oh, and of course you too are calm, nice, respected and kind-hearted person!''

Please stop your usual off-topic activities, you even discussed forum software glitches here already, in the mental issues section!

Gotcha! You again placed a space before exclamation mark! Why? Are you French? Don't be shy, tell me. "It's a common typo by French (because in French, there is a white space before a question/exclamation mark)" https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/4645/is-it-ever-correct-to-have-a-space-before-a-question-or-exclamation-mark

And wait until you have to try to convince one of those postwar folks that they should not be driving a vehicle !!!

Hi @xrobwx, hello from Belgium and welcome to MSFN! I wish you to enjoy the forums! Have a nice day. hpwamr

Good suggestion. Lots of CSP errors helped me figure it out. Github now requires service workers merely to load its CSS! I use CSP to block service workers except when needed for a site to function. Had to add github.com and githubassets.com to the list of exceptions. In some ways I think M$ is worse than Google. Google just provides the rope; M$ actively uses it to try to hang you! Service workers just to load CSS. Sheesh. Could they possibly come up with a more complicated way to perform a simpler task? They must pay their Web developers by the number of lines of code they write!

In Mypal 68, the settings for enabling single-process mode are a bit different. Have a look here: Greetings, AstroSkipper

... and/or (as others here have suggested) just switch off multiprocess mode: https://techdows.com/2019/08/multi-process-e10s-can-still-be-disabled-in-firefox-68-or-later-versions-here-is-how.html Mozilla made it harder in FF (and consequently MyPal) 68 and above; you now have to set a Windows environment variable vs. just changing a pref in about:config, but it's still doable. N16s is quite likely correct that forcing single-process mode increases vulnerability to Spectre/Meltdown attacks (and that probably applies to Serpent as much as FF or MyPal); hence the increased difficulty shutting it off. But if the browser hogs too much virtual RAM, it'll start thrashing and end up having to be shut down and restarted, so if you have little physical RAM (regardless of OS) it may be worth the security trade-off. But remember, a major reason for the OP preferring FF-based browsers was to keep as many of his legacy extensions as possible, which I why I suggested Waterfox Classic. If one uses a lot of extensions, switching browser platforms becomes a major hassle.

SUPERAntiSpyware Professional X Edition 10.0.1250 is the version I am using now. It was the last version which comes via automatic update. When I am at my desktop computer, I will check the System Tools - System Investigator option and report here.

60+? In any case! But many of them have remained young at heart and young in mind. The body, well ...

The next time I am at my desktop computer I will try your second solution: Best regards, your tired AstroSkipper

I don't often say much but... This topic should stay open indefinitely because we have no way of knowing how it could help someone. I did not go through all sixteen pages of this topic, but can anyone tell me offhand if resources for someone in crisis are posted within? Again, you never know... Debby

@Cixert! You are really helpful here. Thank you for your contributions! IObit Malware Fighter, another candidate which is already on my list. Unfortunately, I have had the same unpleasant experience as you. IObit tries to push their Advanced Systemcare product on every user. This is totally annoying. I have also noticed the increased consumption of resources. And when you uninstall software from IObit, there is always something left over. Then it's a matter of searching and manual cleaning.. On the plus side, IObit Malware Fighter is still compatible with Windows XP, for whatever that's worth. Unfortunately, in Windows XP we can't be very picky and have to consider every option, even those we would normally discard. At the moment, we still have other options, fortunately.

I went to Texas one time, spent a month in Chase which is outside of Houston. Looking at that town on a map is one thing but in person it is completely different. It had the same amount of stuff as other towns as you'd expect but everything is just spread out. Not having a car meant I had to walk everywhere. Not a great experience really.

And thank you for bringing up the good memories of safe and divided World. Surely helps anyone with a healthy mentality to stay on the course.

A group of XP users ran out of shampoo, fortunately they had a museum with a fully functional guillotina there, also compatible with their heads.

I already wrote, you tend to put lots of different/unrelated stuff in one post, and it's going downhill, when you start with good, maybe even interesting stuff and then ... caboom ... insert your favourite part with the KGB lieutenant software, literally in each and every post. I mean, I kinda want to like you ... alas.... Nevertheless, I still upvote your post, since it's a big huge progress, and thank you for the compliments! And sorry, if I was too harsh on you at times.

And may I kindly ask where you want to open tabs if the tab bar is turned off? That does not really make sense. Tabs are opened horizontally or maybe vertically by using an extension. That's the way this browser works. If you need more space to read a web page, you can use the full screen mode with the F11 key. I know that for example in New Moon 28 you can toggle the visibility of the tab bar but I never used or needed it. BTW, most features of the legacy browsers can also be retrofitted in Mypal 68 with the help of userscripts with the extensions *.uc.js or *.css. Have a look for example here under custom buttons: Kind regards, AstroSkipper

Chances are that eScanAV Anti-Virus Toolkit (MWAV) will even run on systems whose CPU has no more than the SSE instruction set. However, since the program is portable, compatibility can easily be checked. @Dušan Vićić Here are the system requirements for the commercial version of eScanAV Anti-Virus: Minimum Hardware Requirements: Component Requirement Processor Intel or AMD single core x86 or x64 CPU. 1 GHz recommended RAM 1 GB recommended Disk Space 1GB recommended Due to the fact that an AMD single core x86 is listed, I think it might run on hardware with a CPU which has no more than the SSE instruction set. Kind regards, AstroSkipper

eScanAV Anti-Virus Toolkit (MWAV) eScanAV Anti-Virus Toolkit (MWAV) is an offline virus scanner from MicroWorld Technologies Inc., free for private and home use. And yes, it is still fully XP-compatible. MWAV provides the ability to scan for and remove any virus, spyware, adware or other malware on your computer. The database is continuously updated to detect new spyware and adware, and the scanning engine is constantly improved for faster and smarter detection. It requires no installation and can be run directly from your computer, on whatever media. It can also run when other antivirus software is installed on your computer. To "install" MWAV on the computer, I recommend extracting the installer manually to the desired target directory and calling the executable file mexe.com or MWAVL.exe there. Reason: If the installer is called directly, all files are extracted to the system's temporary folder. For me, this is not an option. MWAV is available in English, German, French, Nederlands, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, Turkish, Chinese Simplified, Chinese Traditional, Greek, Korean, Norwegian, Russian, Polish and Latin Spanish.

It's free of charge and still compatible with Windows XP. The virus databsse can be updated online and even offline if the computer is not connected to the internet. Additionally, commercial products are offered which were tested by AV-Test and Virus Bulletin with very good results. I can definitely recommend this tool without any concerns. Cheers, AstroSkipper

I have to disagree. Plenty of computers are still produced in Western Germany. Take me as example, I don't have any asian-made mobos, I don't even have asian adapters. Even my HDMI cables are Philips made in Belgium . Gold plated with armoured coating and protection from being chewed up. I don't know about your local shops, but Ebay and Amazon are definitely communists, some might not like it. I'm typing this from a Fujitsu Siemens, Made in Germany and looking at a German Fujitsu monitor. Even the mouse and my KB are Siemens. OT. I'm a bit tired of computers. I'm currently building a very realistic layout of a bombed German city from Pola items (made in W. Germany). I'm trying to reproduce the terrible sufferings of poor Germans. All figures are ready made by Preiser. EDIT: Forgot to say, I'll also have various SDKFZ, made by the Austrian Roco and hand-painted by our local pro-painter.

Of course it doesn't guarantee . But commuinists or not, the store staff is disciplined and works quite well under the wise German guidance . I wonder if maybe @AstroSkipper knows more about the store and the real owner. Thanks for the information about DeLock, I never paid that much attention, now I know. What I noticed - their prices went UP, when the assembly line moved to Taiwan ! And yes, you're right ! They look similar. But that doesn't guarantee both of them aren't a forgery/knock-off. That's why I prefer to shop at the German www.computeruniverse.net/

We tend to overvalue things in life. Now, what I'm gonna say is not for those who are/were in love (if such cases still exist!, so no offence !). Would you make a backup of a woman you dated for over several years ? I think not ! And even if you did, would it have any value for you in a couple of years fast forward ? It's much easier to just go out and get a new one instead. Younger, prettier . The same is with hard disks, you'll get better ones every year ! What do you all exactly store ??? Ancient software ? Outdated drivers ? Women born in the sixties ??? I'm not saying newer is always better, I too keep my old photos, for example. BUT. I'll not get unhinged if my HDDs just freaking die, all at once. To hell with them !

I did uninstall the crap PANDA DOME for that same reason. not only was it slow but it's truly inefficient as far as security goes. https://msfn.org/board/topic/177099-which-antiviruses-are-known-for-a-fact-to-be-working-on-xp-sp3-as-of-2019/page/31/#comment-1241103

you can't say my assumption is wrong if you have no tried AVAST with better hardware..... did you ? can you define ''low on resources'' ?
