It's only funny until you get infected with fake jpeg,

Creating an own build is not necessary at all. Here is a download link for the installation programme: https://sourceforge.net/projects/openvpn-for-windows-xp/

Good news for all those who intend to use KeePassXC instead of KeePass. Thanks for the deeper insights! I am very satisfied with KeePass, though. Thus, I will stay with it as long as it works. I personally do not need any new features. But it is good to know there are alternatives.

The only solution for the canvas would be to incorporate some form of a fake canvas generator (changes with every launch), like they did it in the Ungoofed Chrome.

I still can't create a new topic in this or any other sections, several days after the site went offline, so @Dixel, I'm sorry for posting off-topic, I just wanted to create a new one with a new exploit. @Dave-H, can you make a new topic? I'm getting this message on the loop. https://msfn.org/board/topic/185031-webp-virus-fears-nightmares-suggestions-or-exodus-from-the-internet/?do=findComment&comment=1257172 EDIT, I can post here, but it's not related (apart from being another Chrome bug), so any feedback is appreciated, thanks.

That banner is 1.1mb, it's not normal it takes 8 seconds, must be your slow internet downlink. On the other hand, sucks for mobile users with 3G (2G?) in under/developing countries.

Right! This is a well-known problem that many users have already reported. Apart from that, the TAP-Win32 Adapter driver was officially discontinued for Windows XP years ago. The last version targeting Windows XP was v9.9.2_3. And it becomes particularly tricky when several such adapters have to be installed in the same system. I have already installed OpenVPN 2.5.4, a special, unofficial version for Windows XP, which contains the tap_v9.9.2_20220123_for_XP, a patched version of the TAP-Win32 Adapter v9.9.2. Thus, I try to avoid installing any further TAP-Win32 Adapters.

libEGL.dll and libGLESv2.dll have a serious security flaw. An attacker can load these libraries using WebGL and thus get around DEP. Explained here - https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=641630

Antimalware, firewall, and other security programs for Windows XP working in 2023 and hopefully beyond I hereby open a new thread on the topic of security programs for Windows XP. I have been thinking about that for a longer time, and then I decided to tackle this project. Windows XP is a very old operating system and a deeper knowledge of how to make it more secure is very important in my opinion. Therefore, I think it makes sense to get an overview of all the security programs still available for Windows XP. The thread "Which Antiviruses are Known for a Fact to be Working on XP SP3 as of 2019?", where I have previously written frequently about antivirus programs, has become rather bloated and confusing due to many informationless posts, is mainly focused on the topic of antivirus programs for Windows XP and has been completely unstructured from the very beginning. It is good to have such a thread full of different information for reference but there are many posts either outdated, incomplete or off-topic. Therefore, I have decided to start a completely different thread from scratch. I deliberately chose the term antimalware in the title of this topic. In these days, most so-called antivirus programs can not only identify computer viruses, but also trojans, worms, rootkits, exploits, spyware, and so on. Generally speaking: a virus is a malware, but a malware is not always a virus. Therefore, malware is a generic term for any malicious software, including viruses. For many years now, the so-called antivirus programs have actually been antimalware programs. In any case, this new topic here is about antimalware, firewall and other security programs for Windows XP. Under the term other security programs, I include among others security suites like internet security and total security, antivirus, antispyware, anti-rootkit, anti-exploit, online and offline scanner, ad blocker, protection layer, virtualization, security check and control programs and so on that make the use of Windows XP safer. And to avoid any misunderstanding, the main focus in this thread is on the concept of security. Those security programs that have been officially classified as insecure or not trustworthy are not the subject of consideration here, of course. Furthermore, many of these security programs can no longer be clearly classified in one of these categories due to their multifunctionality. I therefore define the following categories and their abbreviations: AM+ = Antimalware program with real-time protection AM- = Antimalware program without real-time protection SP = Specialized program (focused on one main antimalware function) IS = Internet Security TS = Total Security ON = Online scanner OF = Offline scanner AB = Ad blocker FW = Firewall VP = Virtualization program PL = Protection layer program SC = Security check program CP = Control program MF = Multifunctional program In addition, for the sake of simplicity, I define the following licence types and their abbreviations, reduced to the essentials: C = Commercial (any payment software including shareware) F = Free D = Donationware O = Open source In the second post of this thread, I will provide and maintain an alphabetical list of working antimalware, firewall, and other security programs for Windows XP which were each presented in a corresponding post here. This list has the following columns: Name, Version, Type, Date and Link. Name means the name of the program, Version means its last/latest version, Type means its license type, Date means its last/latest date of release or creation (in some cases, there is no date of release available anymore) and Link means the link to its corresponding post here in this thread. I will only include programs in this list that receive updates in some form, be it program updates, definition updates or database updates. With the exception, of course, that there are also programs that do not necessarily need such updates. In the third post of this thread, I will create and maintain an alphabetical list of programs that need to be tested for compatibility, features and support or whose installers have been lost and therefore could not be tested. In the fourth post of this thread, I will create an alphabetical list of programs that have recently been abandoned or should be avoided. Some of them should only be used for a while or be avoided due to security reasons. This project is very extensive and involves a lot of work. In-depth research in particular is very time-consuming, but necessary. So be patient, especially if the list of programs fills up slowly! As always: Good things come to those who wait. And just for clarification, I will not check all the programs myself to see if they can be installed properly and work, of course. Here, other members can make a perfect contribution with their knowledge or experiences already made. Furthermore, all the programs I have listed are not necessarily to be understood as recommendations. Basically, they are simply options that are still available for Windows XP. Because we all know that most manufacturers of security software have long since given up on Windows XP. If I personally consider a program to be good, I will express this in its relevant post. More about that here: Any discussions, questions or suggestions about security programs for Windows XP are explicitly welcome. But one thing must be very clear, everything should relate to this topic. Just for clarification, insulting, provocative or completely off-topic posts (especially about operating systems other than Windows XP) will not be tolerated. That means, please stay on topic! This thread is intended to be a well-structured source of information where readers can get ideas on how to make their old Windows XP a bit more secure. If you like this thread, or you find it interesting and helpful, I would appreciate any contribution, be it a comment, a like or an upvote. Thanks for your interest! Windows XP forever! Kind regards, AstroSkipper

We also clearly need more interesting content posters. I can't work alone for all of you.

We need to be grateful they serve us PNG, and not the infamous infected WebP.

Why would you have to explain to anyone that you look at women's lingerie? I must've missed something, is it because they now assume you're a non-traditionalist as the default option?

Unfortunately no. It's something with my settings. Thanks!

I'm thinking of working on a version of ntoskrnl extender for windows 2000 since it worked out so well giving us extended ACPI/AHCI/NVMe/USB3 support for XP. But now I'm wondering, is there that much interest in seeing it done?

My guess would be, it's nothing out of the ordinary, the site is just trying to survive due to the fact of zero donations. It's just an ad.

I would take such compatibility statements with a grain of salt. Someone could test this first. There are many such statements. But very often they are simply wrong in terms of Windows XP. It should be first checked in any case.

Something went wrong. Please try again. Contact Us Can't create new topics!

Please start another thread, it's absolutely NOT related to WebP.

I have tested Malware Hunter in version 1.176.0.796 on my system, and it is still compatible with Windows XP. Accordingly, I updated my article and my list. Cheers, AstroSkipper

@feodor2 Thanks for pointing to the file addonStartup.json.lz4! That was definitely the culprit. Inside this file, there were leftovers from the removed search engines Bing, Wikipedia and stp (Startpage). Apparently, my profile wasn't as fresh as I initially thought. In any case, I removed these obsolete entries by editing this file manually, and now the error messages have gone. I prefer the way of manual editing method as it gives me full control about what to be or not to be removed. Thanks again!

May be the function ti fix the internal search was never provided, so to be invented. search.json.mozlz4: can either delete a file from the profile or edit it If delete then to add custom search engines, but if you have such. one search.json.mozlz4 not enough or may even be not needed addonStartup.json.lz4 i deleted it and restart twice, my addons all restored, not sure about others, then to edit the file I keep do efforts to add new features also sse version is already done, to publish it soon before the end of the year I want be in time Implement `:is()` and `:where()` selectors, depends how many depends. So only sse folks may count and all others should not take the next version. Next upon the new year i want to updating the javascript to 91 level.

Update notification! Malware Hunter has been updated on 11.12.2023 and is now available in version 1.176.0.796. It is still listed to be compatible with Windows XP. Accordingly, I will update my article as soon as I can confirm its XP-compatibility. Cheers, AstroSkipper

Thank you for the flowers! That's good to hear.

That was the version I tested first. No chance! It doesn't work anymore under Windows XP. The updating and the initialisation of the scan engine fail there. Therefore, Wise Anti Malware has to be considered abandoned under Windows XP, unfortunately.

I don't know who "Vista Group" are, I'm mostly on Windows XP and Vista x86, but rarely. I wrote about the new vectors of attack, after Chrome 100. Google Releases Chrome 101 with 30 Security Fixes for Windows... The most important one of these fixes addresses a high-severity use-after-free issue (CVE-2022-1477) in the 3D graphics and computing open standard Vulkan. Some other bugs addressed Four of the externally reported high-severity flaws are use-after-free vulnerabilities that impact the SwiftShader 3D renderer, the Angle WebGL backend (libegl.dll and libglesv2), the Device API, and the Sharing component. In the future, I'd like to ask you to restrain yourself from non-polite, personal, patronising, and simply not interesting off-topic conversations. https://otx.alienvault.com/pulse/626fd29366f581964bd2f839

To be more precise 93181864 B corresponds to 88.8652 MB ≈ 88.87 MB ≈ 88.9 MB. So, @VistaLover, @Saxon and @Dixel are definitely right. In general, rounded values are not really suitable when it comes to comparing files. It is better to take the value in bytes (B).
