I beg you, please stop digging that old locked "rep farming" topic from the grave. I thought we were already over it. But if you still have questions, or not satisfied with the new upvotes limit, please contact, thank you: https://msfn.org/board/profile/94953-tripredacus/ While I understand your frustration, I can't ease your pain.

It's very simple, don't start off-topic discussions then. I login to the website, go to "unread posts", and what do I see? Right, one million of your posts about having not enough likes. Please stop, you ruin jaclaz's pleasant experience on the forum, I'm pretty sure it would be boring for him, it's spam.

Yep, just an assumption as I already stated. And there are others than Avast. The AV scan engine is not reinvented with every edition of a version. And BTW, assuming does not mean knowing. There is a difference.

Based on my recent research I did for many different security programs, Kaspersky 18.0 was the last XP-compatible version. Starting with Kaspersky 19.0, the system requirements changed, and Windows Vista was listed as a minimum requirement. But KIS 18 was tested by AV-TEST, and I assume KFA and KIS 18 are based on the same scan engine as most AV companies usually do. Therefore, the scan results can be used to get an idea. Here is a test of KIS 18: https://www.av-test.org/en/antivirus/home-windows/windows-7/february-2018/kaspersky-lab-internet-security-18.0-180557/ Cheers, AstroSkipper PS: I totally forgot. Also happy birthday to MBAM 3.5.1!

I was wondering it myself , First - there is a "service worker" tracker folder [which is not deleted], second - there is a folder named "dailybackup" ?!?!. It has many files with "favdb" extension and each login session data for every day, possibly they are responsible? Yes , would be nice to hear @Humming Owl's opinion . Thanks.

I think those are the consequences of the tab freezing nonsense google introduced in 7.xx chrome versions. https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/146276-how-enable-disable-tab-freezing-google-chrome.html

360Chrome v13.5 Build 1030 Redux I inadvertently corrupted my original Build 1030 series when working on Builds 2022 and 2036 so this is starting brand new with several lessons learned from later versions, including 2044. I've always much preferred Build 1030 over anything "newer". They all technically use the same v86 Chromium engine "under the hood".

here is the MP specification HAL Installation Disk. It can be used in NT3.1, NT3.5 and maybe NT3.51 https://www.mediafire.com/file/gvgxa639istw6f2/MPS11.zip

Updated SetupNT. See new screenshot.

I tried it for a bit, it seems a bit sluggish when loading pages for the first time, but it does get better over time. Probably something to do with caching, the browser is in early stages so quirks are probably going to get polished up over time. Some people have already shared concerns that this is a paid Chinese product, but in my book that's fine. All the majors Chinese vendors have axed XP, it's from a solo developer, and there's probably still a huge amount of XP users and businesses in China that would gladly pay a small fee to continue using their existing solutions. It's quite a miracle that it even exists, honestly

While not clicking is good, I think more dangers come from java scripts. I at first wrote licking instead of clicking.

Enhancer for YouTube still works for me. I can no longer pipe YouTube through Proxomitron "and" Enhancer but relying on Enhancer "plus" uMatrix continues to work quite well. My uMatrix doesn't allow anything outside of youtube.com and googlevideo.com domains.

MPC-HC for video, Winamp for audio. I always have the K-Lite Mega Codec Pack installed, it comes with MPC-HC included. Winamp is optional. I like it for nostalgia and to play very obscure game audio files via even more obscure Winamp plugins. MPC-HC will play everything for 95% of the users.

I have managed to install Windows XP on a UEFI Class 3 Surface Pro 1. I believe I am the first to do this. The Surface Pro 1 only officially supports Windows 8-10, but I have gotten 7 and Vista to work, and now XP. I’ve gotten WiFi to work with an adapter. I haven’t gotten graphics or audio working yet. Here is the showcase video: Special thanks to George King, as I used his XP2ESD tool to install Windows XP on this laptop. Also thanks to UsefulAGKHelper for his method of installing XP on UEFI Class 3. NOTE: If you are trying this yourself, I highly recommend you use XP2ESD to install Windows XP especially if you are not using a Surface Pro 1. However, the UEFI files and patches provided in the XP ISO should be very helpful. INSTRUCTIONS: 1. Boot the USB. This ISO uses a Windows 10 PE, but has a Windows XP x64 install.wim. 2. Open command prompt by pressing "Shift+F10" 3. On the command prompt, type in the following commands: diskpart sel dis 0 clean conv gpt cre par efi size=100 form quick fs=fat32 assign letter w cre par pri form quick assign letter c exit D:\ (where your USB is) cd sources dism /apply-image /imagefile:install.wim /index:1 /applydir:C:\ - If DISM doesn't work, go to D:\support\tools\gimagex and deploy the image with gimagex.exe in the x64 folder 4. Open up Notepad, and click "Open" or "Save As". Enable all files to be viewed. Go to "D:\EFI partition". Copy the EFI folder onto W:\ (the boot partition) 5. Go back to Command Prompt. Type in "D:\support\tools\Bootice\BOOTICEx64.exe" 6. On Bootice, go to the BCD tab. Click on "Other BCD file". Click on the "...". Go to the BCD file (you can find this in W:\EFI\Microsoft\Boot). Click on "Professional Mode". 7. Click on "Windows XP" under "Application Objects" 8. Under "ApplicationDevice" and "OSDevice", set the boot disk to wherever your XP installation is (most likely disk 0) and the boot part to C:\ (your Windows XP partition). **Every time XP boots, it will always show the boot manager. You can turn it off on Bootice by going to the BCD tab and opening the XP BCD and clicking "Easy Mode", then uncheck "Display boot menu". 9. Reboot. You should be logged in to the Administrator account. If the screen is not displaying anything, you need to reset the resolution. Hit Windows Key + R, and type in desk.cpl. Hit "tab" four times, hit the right arrow four times, hit "tab" once, hit the right arrow once. Then press enter. The screen should now display. USB works on Windows XP. There are no WiFi drivers. You will need to purchase a seperate USB wireless adapter. Also, I have not been able to get sound working on the machine. Getting a USB sound card might fix that.

OT: I learnt British English. I am not really familiar with the nuances of American English. The problem with "you" is that it has different meanings. "You" can be meant as the 2. person singular or plural. Or it is equal to "one" to express uncertain persons. Therefore, I try to use it rarely or in situations where it is very clear. That's why I prefer very often the passive voice to avoid "you" although native speakers rather prefer the active voice. But, thanks for your clarification! Eloquentia conatum difficile est. End of OT.

Although in Germany the Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) warned against the use of anti-virus software from the Russian manufacturer Kaspersky on 15 March 2022 https://www.bsi.bund.de/DE/Themen/Unternehmen-und-Organisationen/Cyber-Sicherheitslage/Technische-Sicherheitshinweise-und-Warnungen/Warnungen-nach-Par-7/Archiv/FAQ-Kaspersky/faq_node.html, I don't really share such concerns. The developers of Kaspersky software would ruin the entire company if they implemented malicious code in their software. For me, it's about a general statement, a sign of solidarity. And that may not always be fair, however Kaspersky has to thank for that a certain person.

For me, it is basically irrelevant in which country the software I use was developed. But every rule has its exceptions. What these look like in detail in my case cannot and won't be discussed here for well-known reasons. China exists to benefit Windows XP diehards? Nice try! As we all know, imagination knows no boundaries.

Yep, I totally agree with this assessment.

I found an offline installer for Kaspersky Free 19. No official link but a link to a file hoster. I am not sure if I am allowed to post it here. On the official Kaspersky servers, the folder KFA19 has been deleted. This version does not exist there anymore. The folder KFA18 still exists, though. That's probably why the online installer of KFA19 can't load its necessary files. And TBH, that was of course foreseeable.

Thanks for pointing out a gap in my knowledge! I do appreciate that. TBH, no one is perfect. And don't worry I do not feel any pressure here as always. I generally do what I think to be done.

And one thing is clear. I won't test any Kaspersky security program. I never liked it and I made bad experiences using it when it was installed in my system. That is years ago, and in these days ...

IMHO, there is no need to close this thread. And one thing is clear. If this thread should be closed, it will still not be deleted. You can access the information collected here at any time, but then you can no longer add anything new. Just as it has always been here on MSFN. Anyway! This thread contains a lot of important information, a source of knowledge. I use it for my research regularly.

Ok! I checked again the Avast Free Antivirus homepage from November of 2018 on archive.org. For Avast Free Antivirus 18.8, four Core Shields are listed to be available: File Shield, Behavior Shield, Web Shield and Email Shield (only Outlook and Thunderbird are supported). Additionally, I found a German YouTube video from 2018 which confirms that indeed all features exist and can be enabled. Therefore, I revised my post in terms of available shields in Avast Free Antivirus.

This thread and my new thread are quite different. So no need to close this topic! Maybe, there are members who prefer to post here as they always did. My new thread was not intended to make this one redundant. I think we will still see how things develop.

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

Did you try inf-modding ? XP drivers should work on 2000 and vice versa .

You mean delete after the browser is closed ? What's the point ? In theory the telemetry could've been sent at this point already. I think the goal should be to prevent their creation in the first place . And no , service worker has nothing to do with login data, it's not a cookie , it's a tracking [fingerprinting] script . For example , MSFN uses it and you can see the log file for youself , though many parts are encrypted .

Pretty much what the title says ! I had written a complicated tool to forbid Firefox doing it's nasty things , what things ? Read more here : https://msfn.org/board/topic/183138-mozilla-and-firefox-has-turned-into-evil-and-lie-to-their-userbase-leave-it-and-go-for-alternatives/?do=findComment&comment=1207584 I did this a long time ago , but I was lazy/busy to create this topic , I don't like to type , I could be lazy to reply , etc. I do not like to talk/text much, in general. I prefer to create something useful , like this miracle. I used brutal techniques from the 90's, early 2000's . I did NOT hack or modify any of the Firefox browser files , so I'm not in violation of the forum rules . The tool works by intercepting and/or redirecting , blocking the telemetry/pings/requests , certain APIs , etc. No Mozilla files were modified and this programme works with a wide range of FF versions ! The Mozilla code is rather primitive , reminded me of some japanese software. One example of how it works . 1- Firefox wants to generate my unique hardware ID and then send it to the Mozilla servers , thus creating a unique user ID (guinea pig's tag). I say : "screw you , sore losers , I do not allow you to make the hardware ID", so the tool intercepts and blocks it immediately ! (How ? It's a secret , I'm sure the FF staff will read it , try patching it , and I don't have time to redo the tool). It works on the fly , it forbids the browser to chew up your RAM with a ton of unneeded processes (Optimize browser button). Main languages : British English . Dutch is there , but not activated for now , I'm sure our Dutch folks won't have any problems with English. Also, I added translations for some Western European Languages like Spanish . And several Eastern European : Bulgarian , Czech , Polish , Lithuanian , Ukranian , I just figured users from these countries could have problems understanding English , while the Dutch , Germans and French most likely won't , so no German , French or Italian. Perhaps I will add more in the future . I do not promise anything ! Most of the "hacking" (reducing the junk which is 100% not needed at all) is being done without the user interaction , I left only some of the functions that could be changed , in case you would want to be fingerprinted voluntarily , lol. To change the UA , you would need to restart the browser , though. This tool is so powerful , it literally mocks everything these dilettantes had been doing all those years to track you ... I'm still not sure If I was right to post this , perhaps I need to delete this. It's based on my previous tool for Chromium browsers , so may have some of the code leftovers . I shared the early alpha release for chrome 360 (without the UI) with some members . But now it's almost obsolete due the newer functions, also I created a cool interface , like this one . It gives you total control over your browser. I'm scared to share it in the open , but I still want this to be MSFN exclusive , so I may share it with the certain top members (moderators) and [probably] @win32. You ask why ? Imagine this tool in the wrong hands , coppers , FF "team" . This tool needs to be used by good people only , who care about their privacy . You gotta understand , I can't see who's hiding behind his nickname , it's nothing personal ! Yet again , I shall share it , but with extreme caution. No AV reacted to this tool during the testing. Fully supports AERO theme , can be seen on the screenshots below :

This tool doesn't have proxies or VPN of any kind .

@Mr.Scienceman2000, bingo !

As far as I can see , there's a button Save Settings .

@NotHereToPlayGames, please excuse us , we just want a second opinion , it's like with doctors , you know . Perhaps he will shed some light on this problem . We are here to help each other , no ? Besides , Humming Owl doesn't have our favourite 13.5. So we are in the right topic , technically . Also , I think there's no language barrier between you and the other French person , since most French know English very well , though they could fail to admit it ! [I just told you a huge secret!!!]

The upper one lost not only fonts , but the picture also. The lower one is from another page opened in another tab.

For some reason the uploaded attachments won't show , trying again.

Disappearing fonts/images bug , started recently with any of the 13th versions , don't know about 12. , v.12 simply can't work at most of the websites I use. Looks like the page suspends itself after some time (short time , I must say) . But why ?

UPDATE 1.01 + 1.02 1 - Slight adjustments , reduced the tool size (better compression) . UPDATED the build number to 1.01.37091 2 - Added various Android models (per request from a well known MSFN patron). 3 - Added iPhone Instagram App , it may be useful for DAVE. 4 - UPDATED the build number to 1.02.38052 5 - Added Android Instagram App , also may be useful for DAVE.

1 - Thank you. 2 - I actually hate this colour , I bought it with this colour , I'm going to repaint it to the famous feldgrau someday. But thank you ! 3 - Yes , all Italian . 4 - Thank you . 5 - Thank you . 6 - Thank you .

I have a multi-monitor setup (58 inches Philips TV via HDMI ver. 1.4 plus 24 inches Siemens monitor) and 13.5 doesn't lock up for me. Even though the HDMI cable is approx. 10 meters long !

jaclaz, it's simple : 1 - To bring more shame on the "developers" . You see , I don't have an education in this area , it's just my one of my hobbies ... but they , they studied for decades , lol. 2 - Holland , I'm just proud of my country , I think you too like to insert references to Italian culture . I still want to read more of your posts , just need to find time. 3 - Third person , it's the news style title , like in the papers . Sorry for the short reply , I could've answered much more , but I'm afraid it will just bring more questions.
