Yes, right! Folks, thanks for the attention! Sorry, I'm not interested. From what I know, it's the remnants of CRC checks that produce this error. I don't know how and when I'll be able to help, I'm in the process of making some money for my military skills. As you all may have noticed my absence for some time. Hope you're all well.

Thank you for your concern, but I'm not interested in the outcome, as I've said, the original version with "favourite" runs perfectly fine, so I'm not currently looking for the solution. Whatever check for the custom modified files there is, it's good, I guess. Thank you, again.

Boomers seem a bit old to be the parents of GenZ. Thank you for bringing it to our attention!

Should be removed since v68.

It almost looks like it! Good observation! Thanks for reporting and clarifying! Although I'm not a Windows XP 64-bit user, this is good news for everyone who uses this operating system.

https://html5test.com/ 360chrome v13.5.2036 with chrome://flags/#enable-experimental-web-platform-features = enabled.

Agreed! I've started to view that and similar as "naysaying". Oh well. I have a need for 360Chrome, it continues to work for me. Onward and upward.

@NHTPG thanks for the interim update. extensions actions links solved. found one change compared to v13.5.2036.

I have scanned both 2036 and 2044 using Malwarebytes Premium Trial and found no threats. 67 files in 2036 plus 70 files in 2044 = 137 scanned items. Zero threats detected, zero detections ignored.

These are indeed properly installed when applying described workaround. I have one of the most stable XP installs around (I think), even infamous Mypal 68 web browser with OMTP (Off Main Thread Compositing) enabled doesn't crash it, even when getting to the warning about running out of virtual memory. That install has a pagefile capped at 1 GB. I didn't push it to the very end as no OS will work properly then anymore and a hard-crash might be actually desirable in this case. Can't reproduce again, even with Panda version 22.00.00. PSUAService uses .NET Framework, maybe it's one of those things that actually have an issue with RTM version of .NET Framework 4.0. Subsequent tests were with KB2600211 installed, aka. Update 4.0.3 for .NET Framework 4.

You're still on that "favourite" business? Wow, I've never seen the Queen's English requirement be such a big deal for anybody.

I think he wrote he doesn't use this browser anymore, if by the 3rd member of Vista x64 you meant your (and our) favourite member @D.Draker. And as I already wrote, I use the original 2044 build with the file crap load removed (I blocked the malicious connections via firewall). The original version runs good'n'fast without virus warnings.

It's a 32-bit Vista, I have the same as @Dixel, on 64bit. Maybe the file needs to be scanned, like they suggested?

If you read, it even tells which file is damaged, namely it's 360chrome. Why won't you simply tell what exactly you replaced it the .exe file? I mean, I can run any comparison tool, but it will just save time. don't you think?

I run it with all bloat removed, incuding d3d47 and LibGL. Of course no "doctor". Didn't you read the Trojan message? It says "damaged", not "missing".

Most importantly, how would you explain I can run the original 2044 perfectly fine, with or without my starter?

No, I didn't. I had it when I tried to mod the 64-bit version, which is not surprising. I wrote here yesterday, link>, I can run 2036 perfectly fine (with or without my starter). I just don't, it's too bright for me. On the testing Vista PC - no AV. The skin is yours, I ran it as it was supplied (before making the decission whether I like it or not). The grey colour in the error because I use the dark Vista theme from pinterest (it's very common here, on this website).

I can't start the browser, it says I need to check it for Trojan viruses (suggests Trojan scan). All in broken English. Not recommended to run for your "safe".

Or, you should have just read my article about Panda Free Antivirus carefully: But it would be much more interesting to know whether Panda Free Antivirus runs stably under Windows XP 64-bit For example, what about the initially reported starting problems of Panda's service PSUAService? Cheers, AstroSkipper

Panda Free Antivirus is still compatible with Windows XP (SP3 32 bit editions only).

Agree, and it's a nice overclocker board too.

100% possible to make it work! This precise list of tested and working Win 98 boards includes that G41 chipset, like on Asus. https://msfn.org/board/topic/175820-modern-motherboards-working-with-windows-98-the-list/

China has nothing of its own, it's still Google engine under the bonnet, so all the usual google servers where it sends data to are still there, but with the new chinese telemetry added upon.

It doesn't work this way with most of the multinational companies, like Google or Microsoft, for example.

Will there be mass exodus from Twitter now?

A few additional remarks about Total Commander I totally forgot to mention in my quoted post. I find it simply incredible that the current version 10.52 of Total Commander is still compatible with Windows 95 and higher. Apart from that, there are a few things to note that make this file manager unique: comparing files and folders, creating and verifying checksums, establishing data connections via FTP, LAN and WLAN, integrating external programs in the form of functional buttons (for example TeraCopy), filing important program links (shortcuts), bookmarks for important folders, installing specific plugins to access external file systems like Ext2, Ext3, Ext4, exFAT etc. apart from FAT32 and NTFS, and the possibility of activating further functions by modifying the two settings files wincmd.ini and wcx_ftp.ini to meet the individual needs of the user even more. wincmd.ini is the main configuration file, and wcx_ftp.ini contains everything related to FTP connections. And all that I have listed here is just a drop in the ocean.You won't really be able to list all the functions of Total Commander. Even after 28 years, I regularly discover new functions. And I particularly often use the copy and move function for files and folders with integrated checksums' verification, which can be modified in the settings file wincmd.ini so that both the current date and the creation date of files are not changed. Here is a description of the settings for Total Commander's main configuration file wincmd.ini: https://www.ghisler.ch/wiki/index.php?title=Wincmd.ini And here is a screenshot of my TC's main window including some markers and the mentioned settings files, which can be edited at any time: Cheers, AstroSkipper

I was searching this thread and I noticed that one of the most important programs for Windows has never been mentioned here, even though I use it most often day by day. It is Total Commander, probably the best known and in my opinion the most powerful file manager for Windows ever. Total Commander (TC) is a two-column file manager for Windows modelled on the legendary Norton Commander from the days of DOS. There are also free variants for the smartphone and tablet operating systems Android, Blackberry, Windows Phone and Windows 10 Mobile. Total Commander allows convenient file management, offers an integrated ZIP utility, an FTP client, a multi-rename tool, a very good search function with filters, and so on. Its functionality can be extended easily by addons. Here is a picture of TC's main window: Homepage: https://www.ghisler.com Download page: https://www.ghisler.com/download.htm Addons page: https://www.ghisler.com/addons.htm And here are all 12 screenshots from TC's homepage to demonstrate different features: https://www.ghisler.com/screenshots/en/01.html Many features of Total Commander are described here: https://www.ghisler.com/featurel.htm The latest version is 10.52 from 26-10-2022 and still XP-compatible. Although it is shareware, it is fully functional. There is only a small nag screen when the program is started. Total Commander is offered in form of different installers. A 32-bit version only, a 64-bit version only and a 64-bit+32-bit combined. The 32-bit version is compatible with Windows 95 up to Windows 11, the 64-bit version with Windows XP up to Windows 11 and the 64-bit+32-bit combined with Windows 95 up to Windows 11. There are installers for USB sticks and even a 16 bit version for Windows 3.1. Total Commander has a multiple language and Unicode support. Total Commander is my favourite and most used program, even under Android. I use Total Commander (formerly Windows Commander) since 1995 and can recommend it without any reservations due to 28 years only positive experiences. Greetings, AstroSkipper

Yep, that's right. The main executable UniExtract.exe is from 29.01.2023, but the last updated files inside the archive, index, lconvert.exe and pea.exe, are from 27.03.2023. They have therefore only released it on 27.03.2023. Here is a link with further information about this nightly build: https://softreview.ucoz.ru/load/11-1-0-96 Greetings, AstroSkipper

SpywareBlaster is not an antivirus program. It doesn't have a scan engine and all the features which are typically for AV programs. It cannot detect and certainly not delete viruses or malware. SpywareBlaster is a tool that tries to prevent prophylactically the installation of ActiveX-based spyware, adware, dialers, browser hijackers, and other potentially unwanted programs, but only in supported browsers. So SpywareBlaster is a kind of additional security layer or immunizer for browsers. It updates its protection database on a monthly base and still does of today. On my Windows XP computer, its program window unfortunately produces an error since version 5 when closing. I use it for many years especially to immunize the Internet Explorer, but it doesn't support our @roytam1's browsers or 360Chrome, unfortunately. @mina7601! It would be desirable if research were carried out a little more deeply and in accordance with the facts. Such statements are otherwise rather misleading.

Thanks! But which loss do you mean? There is personally no serious loss. If Malwarebytes really stops rolling out fresh definition updates, the current state will be good enough for a while. Of course, no new definition updates would be a great pity and another setback for all users on Windows XP and Vista. But my license is also valid for the most recent 4.5.25 or upcoming versions, i.e. versions targeting Windows 7 or 10. It's a lifetime license, whatever lifetime means, of course especially according to the recent experiences made.

You're right! Now that you've pointed it out, I see it too. Ransomware protection is activated, and this is actually not possible natively under Windows XP and Vista. Good watch out!

Yes, I'm all up for it too. legacyfan, it's a very wise decision, but it needs to be done asap, before he wakes up. Thank you, Tommy !

@Tommy You're absolutely right, you're a very nice person, I'll just put him to ignore list and move on. I'm pretty sure you also understand no guarantees he does the same.

@Tommy I removed this post since it's not related to the member that legacyfan, you and I honoured here. Sorry for the off-top, again you're right. I strongly suggest the others will follow my example and also remove their posts not related to the Memorial.

This topic is not about judging or not , it's about honouring him, is it so hard to understand !?!? And I even said , I hope he comes back, that was not a demand of any kind, aslo legacyfan and me, we never judged his leave .

1 - This community is based on trust (it can be found in the rules). No one pays me for this job. 2 - No, none of these will be made public to prevent the KGB/FSB getting their hands on them. We are not silly to help them run huge quantities of old computers in their department/state and not to pay Microsoft for the new products.

I can't imagine there's no answer to this question ...

And now a note especially for my German compatriots. The online webstore MediaMarkt was no longer fully functional in New Moon and Serpent. A few days ago, I posted the problem in the issues of martok's palefill: https://github.com/martok/palefill/issues/66 As always, martok did a great job and fixed the problem. Furthermore, he still added compatibility with Serpent 55. Now, you can shop again with our UXP browsers, especially in case anyone still needs Christmas presents. The new version 1.25 is already released and can be found here: https://github.com/martok/palefill/releases/tag/v1.25 Further changes and fixes have been made. The complete changelog can also be read there. Cheers, AstroSkipper PS: MediaMarkt is active in different countries, so the fix might help (presumably with minor modifications) non-Germans, too.

It is rather language than culture related. In German, we very often prefer much longer sentences as it is the case in English. But I always pay attention to correct grammar and consistency of content. Over the last months, I already reduced the average length of my sentences. But no one can quite deny their true nature.

There is no Firefox extension for this "VPN service" called Ultrasurf. And, the Windows client is rather a joke. I had to allow all connections of this client in my firewall to get it work, which I never had to do before for a VPN client and don't like to do. Next problem, you can't choose a certain location. Therefore, I was connected instantly to the USA without asking me. No good! And for a European, certainly not! Furthermore, the connection is as expected very slow, not to mention security and privacy concerns in terms of NSA & Co. In general, I would really like to ask you if you have actually tested any of what you recommend here? I am just beginning to doubt that.

All offered versions on Mozilla are for Firefox browsers 91.0.0 and later. And regarding old, abandoned versions for a VPN service, if they exist at all, don't work anymore in general.

Hello @soggi! Wish you and your family an unproblematic and quick recovery! I had my first SARS-CoV-2 infection several weeks ago, despite triple vaccination, and still suffer from a permanent coughing. Very persistent! But I hope you and your family get through it without any problems! Kind regards, AstroSkipper

This topic is about VPN in Windows XP. Browsec VPN is an VPN extension for Firefox browsers 91.0.0 and later. In Windows XP, there are no browsers which this extension can be installed in. Therefore, I do not understand such recommendation. It is rather misleading and off-topic.

So it's just like I said . Why do you need articles then ? Would be faster to try it yourself . Just replace the OS string and install . Create a backup , of course . I told ya it would work . It's not a video driver after all. BTW, there are Nvidia drivers for 2000 available , up to GTX 780 , modded of course .

It would be better to use XP drivers released before sp1. Gives you a higher chance.
