Old story. Besides, it wasn't the antivirus, but a "product" called "Avast Secure Browser" which is a chromium fork and as such it doesn't work on XP. That, of course, used to track everything and give data to third party for analysis as long as you opted in to share your info, however Avast wasn't aware that the third party was also reselling the data instead of using it for research and to make transactions safer (yes, in theory it was born as a browser on which you were supposed to make transactions like logging in to your bank account or use credit cards / debit cards on etc so that it was totally sandboxed etc etc etc). When the story came out, Avast dropped the contract with the third party. Since you're concerned about the antivirus itself, that program only shares data about the threats you find if you choose to send them up for analysis. It also shares a very limited amount of data, which can be increased if you opt in to the optional data sharing, but it's gonna be limited to how many threats you face every month, what your subscription is like and what OS you are running on what hardware etc so that they have some statistics that can be useful to make a better antivirus. For instance, think about polymorphic viruses. They're viruses whose code changes frequently so that - in theory - they will be able to do some damage before they're included in the virus definitions and detected. Avast of course has heuristics, so it might see that although a program isn't in the virus definition, such a program isn't signed and is behaving in a peculiar way, perhaps by accessing resources etc. It's a point based system and if the score adds up to a certain threshold, Avast detects it and blocks the program, thus asking you confirmation. Although this might lead to some false positives, it can also detect polymorphic viruses and, once you catch one of those viruses which is temporarily blocked, you can send it in for analysis and they will immediately add it to the virus signature database which every user will receive through the streaming updates immediately. All this is, again, if you "opt in", with the word "opt in" being the keyword here. Exactly. I remember talking about this a while ago, thank you for confirming.

New build of post-deprecated Serpent/moebius for XP! * Notice: This repo will not be built on regular schedule, and changes are experimental as usual. ** Current moebius patch level should be on par with 52.9, but some security patches can not be applied/ported due to source milestone differences between versions.

OT since ESET is no longer an option for XP - but since you are so knowledgeable about such matters, I have to ask: Is Bratislava another “KGB nest”? 🤔

Well, I really don't know whether it counts or not, but the BBC wrote an article 7 days ago about the increasing number of accidental phone calls to the police now that Android has released a new feature in which if you press the power button 5 times it will send an emergency alert to your emergency contacts and will also call the police for you. https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-65962942 The article has a picture at the very beginning which depicts a police station with operators monitoring incoming calls and on the computer you can clearly see the Windows XP start button with the classic Luna theme: Of course, although the article was released as little as 7 days ago, we don't know whether the picture used is a stock photo or if it's a recent one and they're still using XP to run legacy stable software, this is why I said "I don't know if it counts" at the very beginning.

Best practice is to create an up-to-date image using Macrium Reflect or similar software before installing any antivirus, and Avast 18.8 in particular!

I can’t speak about the difficulty of uninstalling Avast because I never uninstalled it (18.8 is still on my broken-down Vista machine), and of course ESET is no longer an option. I saw numerous similar reports about the old AVG before Avast bought the company, including the removal tool not working, but I used to know a simple trick: Disable Self-Protection in Advanced settings before attempting to uninstall! This just might help with some other third-party AV products. Of course Microsoft Security Essentials uninstalled flawlessly (too bad it’s not an option for XP anymore), and Norton’s removal tool actually worked (my old PC came with Norton bundled).

More like: "this exploit is also developed in Russia" LMAO Jokes aside, thanks for the info, but I don't really feel like using anything Russian made on my machine and I think it's the same for pretty much everyone here...

I just tested Spybot - Search & Destroy version 1.6.2 @AstroSkipper Unfortunately up to version 2 it is not possible to update the database. Until 1.6.2 you had to update the entire program. Sorry.

In Serpent/UXP I'm getting this error with the about:addons page: XML Parsing Error: undefined entity Location: about:addons Line Number 392, Column 19: Anybody else seeing this? It's fine in Serpent 55.

That seems to be the NORM to me. McAfee. Norton. Avast. Avira. Kaspersky. Panda. They all have "uninstall/removal TOOLS" that you have to download because the Operating System's normal "uninstall" routines don't do the job.

This thread is typically too "defensive" to want to participate. But the only thought I have is this - what antivirus product out there does NOT have a service running 24/7 and what antivirus product out there does NOT "collect data" from its users? My perception has always been that they *ALL DO*. The line in the consumer-sand is generally NOT that data is collected, but rather that the data is then SOLD to other companies.

Yes i installed all updates even in windows update

Nono the windo appears and it asks me what to do: r for restore and other keys to install. I just press enter and in the installation it gives the errors above (Also the name of the guy is Bizzbob not bizzibob. This is the link to his installer: Also man trust me this installer is the best, it automatically backs up, it disables signature and repair file permissions. All with a click man

did you install kb4474419 and kb4493730 on top of the official vista updates?

go to C:\Program Files\Windows Sidebar and create a new folder called sidebar.exe.local put ole32.dll there and make sure you merge DLLredirectionenabler.reg every file can be found at the same location as ex kernel

On Win 7, it's working too, for now.

I'm very glad to hear it!

AvastClear does not need any installation. It is portable. So there is no need of uninstallation, either. But in my case, it didn't work, unfortunately. AvastClear is more of a joke. A company provides a special tool for uninstalling their products, but it fails, either. Very poor!

Hello, @AstroSkipper, you're always very helpful, thanks for the warning! Just like the others already pointed out that issue, even on Dell forum: "I'm trying to uninstall avast antivirus for the past 6 hours" https://www.dell.com/community/Virus-Spyware/Can-t-uninstall-avast-antivirus/td-p/6103780 They suugest to use "AvastClear.exe", but no one tells how to uninstall that tool itself after that!

Manually installed it

I do not like it much either, there are still plenty of 32bit Windows, I have even see several 32 bit Win10 laptops that were not up-gradable to 64 bit because of UEFI BIOS. So in the end I think there are more 32bit windows than Linux desktops. Even if all AMD/Intel CPUs have been 64bit since the early 2000s... Also I always saw the duality or architectures as a free sanitizer, you would be surprised on how many subtle bugs can be found by just building and testing in both 64bit and 32bit. There were a lot of buggy 32 bit programs that were hard to port to 64bit and now I see random programs that have a ton of warning simply when you build them for 32bit and some of them cannot even work. Bad coding habits still exist but have just migrated from :"I assume my CPU is 32bit so int == void* and stuff" to "I know my CPU is 64bit so uint64_t == void* and stuff". Windows 10 will be supported until 2025 (and possibly beyond), so dropping 32bit support is very strange because it is still maintained by Microsoft.

Keep in mind 1 thing:

Yesterday they changed the system requirements of 116 Nightly to Windows 10+ Before that, all 116 builds had the minimum requirement of Windows 7. However, I could still install the latest nightly (on 8.1) without any issues. The installer isn't blocked either (yet)

If you don't get all requirements, the extended kernel don't show setup option GUI. Generally, you should reboot once If you accept to install all additional components, note: if you don't install IE6SP1 and SP4 SRP1v2, fail to install it.

I sure that your pc is not installed any extended kernel or you did not reboot after install.

And I never said you did (though you did attribute to me a recommendation): I have no problems, thankfully, though your exclamation mark, is - of course - a (minor) nuisance: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exclamation_mark#English jaclaz

@AstroSkipper Not necessarily applying to this particular product (Vir.it), but being well known or popular is not always a proxi for anything but being well known or popular, and definitely not for quality or convenience. As an example, take DMDE (which I actually personally recommend[1]) as a program for data recovery, try finding it searching for a data recovery program, you will find that Recuva, Easeus and Wondershare are far more well known and popular, yet they - in the best case (if/when they work at all) - offer a fraction of the capabilities of DMDE. jaclaz [1] but that D.Draker cannot use because the programmer is Russian

This is a political opinion that should not fit in this forum. I cannot imagine that situation and I am not going to express my political opinion here. Sorry.

Only to understand how these highly sophisticated soviet/ex-DDR communist agents operate: 1) they wait until you go visit your Bavarian friends 2) they break into your house (not necessarily a fortress house) 3) they rely on autorun to infect your PC 4) when (if) you wisely disabled autorun they go away muttering the equivalent (in Russian or German) of "D@mn, we can't do anything, autorun is disabled". jaclaz
