The forum does show the account locking and also the LA IP address. However, that login attempt was using the same device you normally use. Furthermore, when you changed your forum password, it was done using a Moreno California IP address, which you continued to use that same day (6/17) and even made posts, such as this one: https://msfn.org/board/topic/184737-mental-health-awareness-month/page/19/#comment-1247114 The CA IPs that were used that day are registered to the same ISP as the ones you normally use, so it appears to the forum that it was your own device that generated the failed attempts.

Agree! You obviously can't produce a video, this is why you're mad, since it's not real you anymore, the Texan legacyfan, but the fake one from California. Which they concluded in the process of the investigation, now it can be locked, and the fake legacyfan banned until the real one proves his identity. It's fair to everyone.

Thank you @AstroSkipper It is due to my personal experience using aforesaid product which you might denote it as subjective. There is an ongoing thread Wilders Security. Please see link below : https://www.wilderssecurity.com/threads/superantispyware-updates-news.391893/ I am absolutely sure you are aware of that. Quite a few, not very encouraging comments on Reddit . Also there is this youtube video where this product is tested against 575 malware. This video is in Portuguese. You can always put English or German subtitles. I have to say that I am enjoying this new thread very much indeed. Thank you Cheers !

I see, according to the UXP issue MS Visual Studio 2017 works with C++14. If they decide to upgrade to C++14 then Visual Studio 2017 can continue to be used. If they go with C++17 then I only see two routes forward: * Switch to mingw/fix mingw builds * backport changes from upstream to work on C++14 For some background on their decision for switching to a newer C++ standard, a major reason that they switched to Visual Studio 2022 in the first place was so that they could switch to newer C++ versions.

Thank you! And the above links are only a handful of such posts. There's literally a ton of posts where he always talks about him being from Texas, how cool Texas is, Texan women and weather, etc. How he moved to Texas from Eastern Europe, etc.

Well, then it's definitely an impostor, because the real legacyfan always told us he is from Texas. The fake one from CA needs to be blocked/banned until the real Texan legacyfan returns and shows the proof (like they do it on instagram) and his IP from Texas. Also, considering his public confession of stalking and putting dirt on MSFN (in the thread you've mentioned), I'd say the abuser must go.

Then I knock on wood that it won't happen any time soon.

In a nutshell, one now understand very well what kind of communication and apparent argumentation you favour. Thank you for the enlightening insight!

SUPERAntiSpyware, the only thing is good at is to remove cookies. Basically is crap. I do have it installed on my XP ( just for the cookies really) I have not used it for at least four years maybe even more. It is a waste of space.

Hi guys. Not that important, but I wanted to tell you that I'm testing that Chrome recommended pages ago under Windows 7. I find it ironic that it's called ungoogled since there's no way to remove _oogle as a search engine and add, say, DuckDuckGo! I also couldn't find a way to install any extensions. A downer... since browsing is fast and it seems very light on resources. I'm starting to test Waterfox Classic. I'll let you know how it goes.

Thanks, but please never take it as me being hostile to legacyfan, I'm not and will never be, I just didn't understand his behavior, that's all really. The investigation is not even over yet, and you want this topic closed? This is harsh, don't you think? I say better not, let it stay open, because I am curious to see how will the investigation end. Our supervisor Tripredacus just made only 1 reply here in this topic and nothing new yet, so I say nah, let this topic stay open. Besides, we have to be fair. Not because Tripredacus has made his reply here about the account locking in this topic means we request him to ban legacyfan threateningly, instead, we should let the discussion continue. I recommend you (and D.Draker) do not try to troll (I could have said ruin, but troll is a much stronger word) this topic any further, because it does no good, but only shows who is truly causing trouble and arguments here. Thanks.

“Physician, heal thyself.” Sounded a little “insulting, provocative or completely off-topic” to me, but I’m not that easily offended. (You’d have to work at it like D.Draker did.)

@MarioMan7890 I recommend you to remove the archive.org link to the modified Windows on your main post, because it's a violation of forum rules, rule 1.a.

A good choice! I used Avast Premier for many years. I personally had a lot of trouble with the version 18.8, though. But as long as it works for you, it will protect you in any case. And its dedection rate is good. I already wrote about Avast here: Kind regards, AstroSkipper

Yes I am. Version 18.8. Everything is tickety-boo.

I'll really never get what's the point of you making topics like this in the first place, if you will then later on request moderators to close them. You do this a lot, and every single time.

Safer-Networking "Spybot - Search & Destroy" It is officially offered for Windows XP in legacy version 2.4.40.0 (2014-10-22). https://download.spybot.info/Spybot2/ It is a free anti-spyware program that offers the possibility of working as an antivirus in a paid version. I downloaded this version 2.4.40 in 2014 and it seemed more complicated than version 1.6.2, so I have since discarded the program. Now I see that it was the last version for XP and that the database is updated to the current date. Definitions can be downloaded in sideload for v. 2.x Version 1.6.2 is also officially offered https://www.safer-networking.org/spybot-1-6-2-mirror-1/

Did you mean is anything from these two spamming members legacyfan and mina really needed at all? https://msfn.org/board/topic/184654-windows-11-tpm-bypass-for-vmware/?do=findComment&comment=1247120 https://msfn.org/board/topic/184841-possible-account-hack-from-los-angeles-2-days-ago/?do=findComment&comment=1247252

Of course not, but we already got what you said before about "no stalking pass" for me and declared your conditions. Don't try to edit out your written confession. It will stay here forever, regardless. You publicly offered me a "no stalking pass". https://msfn.org/board/topic/184737-mental-health-awareness-month/?do=findComment&comment=1247104

Then we have nothing more to talk about, you're a non-Texan, fake legacyfan.

Uh, I don't get it. Why did you link to a post of mine? I just hope you're not trying to bring me into this matter. Thanks.

Not sure why, but feel free. It's for the Admins to resolve. Brilliant detective work though.

How much of trouble would it be to use gcc or clang, I can build with gcc 13.1 and target Windows XP, maybe in some cases gcc13 could emit bad code incompatible with XP but gcc8.4 should be fine and supports C++17. Also if they target for C++14 it is a minor addition to C++11 so it should not be too hard to port the code.

Hello to everyone those are new to this forum and hi to those who are already in this forum, and a Warm welcome to new users from my side Jason Julius.

Not relevant.

Must be Elvis himself, no less!

Of course it doesn't! You would need to have his e-mail password to see the encrypted link (again, the alleged link).

So now it just unlocked itself?

The title is wrong. It should be : An alleged account Hack From Los Angeles (2 Days Ago) Because you provided no proof. No screenshots,, nothing. Take a screengrab of that alleged email and attach here.

This is gettin' old, with a long, very long and grey beard. Does switching/throwing away lots of burners count as a frequent upgrade? EDIT: Forgot to mention, only new burners. With a new OS (even though cheap, for the most part).

StartAllBack 3.6.8

Nice I had the Amstrad in my family in the 90s, but are you still using your Commodore as a daily? It really was hard for me just to accept to use XP over Win98SE, I used Win98SE as a daily driver up to 2014, people were saying I was a boomer because I am still using XP when I was actually just starting up with XP (I was already familiar with XP but i was not liking it much especially because of poor DOS and WIN16 support but the web forced me). Now I really like XP and I will probably wait a long time before switching to Windows 7 as my personal OS. I still love and use Win98, one of the best Windows, but I mostly use XP.

I always use both extensions, uBlock Origin in standard mode and ηMatrix. For me, a working combination but they have to be configured correctly. In any case, they are great extensions.

I use uBlock origin in "Advanced mode" so that it includes a mini uMatrix It does break half websites I visit and I spend a lot of time adjusting the settings. I used to be a uMatrix dye hard fan, but I was spending a bit too much time configuring it, and some time I was unable to reach my goal, so I ended switching to uBlock (also because it has more powerful additional filtering options). I do regret the basic and simple power of uMatrix. I still think uBlock should include the uMatrix panel which was more powerful than uBlock's advanced mode pannel. I tried running both extensions at the same time but the slowdown was significant and it is even more of a mess to play around with. So I would not call uBlock Origin a passive extensions , It just can be used passively unlike uMatrix.

I'd even go one step further. What percentage of internet users roll with "active" extensions versus "passive" extensions. uMatrix is "active", requires the end user to create their own rules. uBlock Origin is "passive", runs in the background and strives for no user-interaction whatsoever, to the point that some users FORGET it's even there and never think that their current web site is "broken" because of uBlock Origin's decisions made "for" the user.

how many W7+ users do have interest on a browser with very limited number of extensions ? Especially Serpent (a fork from Basilisk) supports a huge number of extensions. This browser is compatible with both types, legacy XUL extensions and webextensions. And generally, XUL extensions are much less restricted in browsers than webextensions. TBH, leagacy XUL extensions are actually not restricted at all. And they can easily be modified. Therefore, I prefer them.

What I meant here is that I can help roytam1 with whatever assistance he may need to continue Serpent and any of his other XP browser projects. Some examples could include paying for a server to host a git repo that is accessible in China/HK, providing mirrors of his builds, or providing him with a mirror of the UXP/Pale Moon/Basilisk/etc codebases that is accessible from China/HK, etc. MyPal 68 is not compatible with XUL extensions. I have no interest in non-XUL based Firefox browsers.

Mypal 68 is a browser developed by @feodor2 and his own projct. I think you've got something mixed up there.

To be fair, MyPal 68 is still in beta, and its author lives in a country at war, so I'm not surprised that 68 still isn't very stable. It's stunning that it works on XP at all, given that Rust was supposedly fundamentally incompatible with XP. My comments were merely to express surprise that it's more stable in single-process mode, and to wonder whether that applies to Windows 7 or only to XP.

You will leave all MSFN members from Western Europe you stalked, offended and put dirt on, beg for their forgivness, kneel before them and then surrender unconditionally.

The font issue has been fixed in SAB 3.6.6

Thank you. I'm loving Windows 7. I installed the minios version. A lighter and improved version. I realize as I put hours on it that the real problem is not only the non-compatibility. The problem is that programs that in XP work, in Windows 7... simply can't get them to work right. Lots of errors that I can't find info on and I end up in a dead end. I ended up doing a dual boot with XP and 7 to split tasks. It works for now. Well, I assure you that I can sniff out their play. That's why I keep testing MyPal, but it's also giving me headaches. Memory wise it works better than FF, but it won't let me install any extensions. When I want to search from the address bar, it won't let me search. I will try to spend more time on it and not lose patience. I will look for info regarding what you say about multi-processing, which seems to be the case. Every time I use FF and open the task manager to see why my ram disappears there are thousands of FF processes there.

Let's hope that's not the case, Roy. Always grateful for your releases... and that's an understatement. I wanted to tell you all that I have been experimenting with Windows 7. It seems to be a reliable, stable, lightweight operating system. It runs smoothly. In fact, it boots faster than our dear old XP. I've slapped it around a bit and it holds up very well to the abuse. Firefox is still compatible, although the latest version does not support some extensions that I use and miss very much. Another problem is that it consumes a lot of memory... a lot. Having 4 or 5 tabs open means more than 2gb of ram gone. I've taken the opportunity to test the latest version of MyPal -thanks Feodor- and it seems to work very well. At memory level it seems similar and I still could not test if the extensions I use are compatible, but the good news is that Whatsapp Web works. Still... I could not get used to Windows 7. It offers some compatibility but several key programs are no longer compatible. So for now I'm sticking with XP.

I forget to mention that using the default profile settings means to have always two profile folders in case of Serpent, New Moon, bnavigator and Iceape-UXP. If you create own profiles without relative paths in another location, you will have only one profile folder for each of these browsers. That's what I usually do.

If you didn't change the default settings in the past, then the following list shows all locations of profile folders in Windows XP: Serpent 52: c:\Documents and Settings\$USER$\Application Data\Moonchild Productions\Basilisk\Profiles\ c:\Documents and Settings\$USER$\Local Settings\Application Data\Moonchild Productions\Basilisk\Profiles\ Serpent 55: c:\Documents and Settings\$USER$\Application Data\Moonchild\Basilisk\Profiles\ c:\Documents and Settings\$USER$\Local Settings\Application Data\Moonchild\Basilisk\Profiles\ New Moon 28: c:\Documents and Settings\$USER$\Application Data\\Moonchild Productions\Pale Moon\Profiles\ c:\Documents and Settings\$USER$\Local Settings\Application Data\\Moonchild Productions\Pale Moon\Profiles\ bnavigator: c:\Documents and Settings\$USER$\Application Data\Binary Outcast\Borealis\Profiles\ c:\Documents and Settings\$USER$\Local Settings\Application Data\Binary Outcast\Borealis\Profiles\ Iceape-UXP: c:\Documents and Settings\$USER$\Application Data\\Hyperbola\Iceape-UXP\Profiles\ c:\Documents and Settings\$USER$\Local Settings\Application Data\\Hyperbola\Iceape-UXP\Profiles\ K-Meleon 76.4.7-Goanna: Profile is located in the program folder (portable!). Cheers, AstroSkipper

@AstroSkipper Please bear in mind that the universal key given is ineffectual. Renewal environment is kaput. Of course it has been confirmed that the expired avast software will continue to work. If you are a bit fussy about it you'll have to do a clean install. It is the only solution that really works. Cheers

Comments containing racism / ethnic phobias / & geopolitical diarhea have poisoned this thread. This is an important thread that needs aggressive moderation in order to keep close to its stated purpose.

Welcome to MSFN! I've never blogged, unless you count years (and years) of forum journals in mental health forums - "blogging". We're mainly a computer tech forum, so other than talking to people, do you have some interest on computers? Look to hear more from you

That's what I understood from that thread I linked to. See also here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1076445 Don't be pedantic. I don't care. My days here are numbered. I wish them success with their data after that, haha.
