I found an alternative way to update uBlock Origin Legacy when the user still decides to install over an existing installation: Backup all your settings using the "Back up to file" button on the page "Settings". Install the new version of uBlock Origin Legacy over the existing one. Reset your installation using the "Reset to default settings" button on the page "Settings". Restore all settings from your backup file. This method can only be used for updates with the same extension ID, i.e. from version 1.16.4.32 and higher or from version 1.16.4.31 and lower. The reason for this is the change of the extension ID in version 1.16.4.32 I have performed. But one thing is clear. A clean install is the best method that causes the fewest problems.

@Damnation Can there be a mixture between halmps and halmacpi Dietmar

... That's NOT accurate to say ; while both OSes are NT 6.0, per your linked documentation: Windows Vista SP2 x86 & x64 Official Extended Support was EoL'ed on Apr 11th, 2017 : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/products/windows-vista It is indeed true that the WS 2008 SP2 targeting updates released some two years after Vista's official End of Extended Support can be installed manually on the OS and bestow SHA-2 support on it, but this practice isn't considered "official" by either the vendor (Microsoft) or the rest of the third party vendors (Norton in this case ) ... Kindest regards ...

NortonLifeLock has announced that they will stop supporting Norton Security v22.15.x products on Vista and other older OSs that do not support SHA-2 code signing as of 22-May-2024. See employee Gayathri_R's 01-Mar-2024 announcement End-of-Life announcement for Norton security software on Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7 (SP0) for more information. Note that Win 7 SP0 is Win 7 without Service Pack 1. NortonLifeLock threatened to end support for Norton Security v22.15.x a few years ago and reversed their decision after customers complained but I think they intend to stick to the 22-May-2024 end-of-life date this time.

@Damnation This is Bsod surrounding without any breakpoint, Windbg continous with "p", F10, Dietmar https://ufile.io/b5j6aq0z

@Damnation I have your hal.pdb integrated. Now I get this, looks like kind of loop, or if something cant be found Dietmar https://ufile.io/310s052p

@Damnation Yes, I fixed everything that is possible on the HP 255 g6 board. Now, there is ACPI-Multprocessor with mostly all drivers. A lot of other notebooks boot with the same idea XP SP3 now, which show before Bsod, not direct related to acpi.sys. All those Bsods happen because of their VGA settings in DSDT and their internal VGA cant be disabled via Bios. Now I am just setting up a new XP SP3 on my Asrock z370 k6 board. Without any extra driver, just naked and ready for debug. This is possible, because it can use PS/2 for mouse and keyboard. Then I add your acpi.sys, hal.dll and ntoskrn8.sys. Soon I report Dietmar

Well, since the other member above kindly warned us - Avast might also be compromised by foreign intelligence agencies, I shan't use it anyways! I tend to listen to what the older folks have to say.

Panda Free (or not Free) and Malwarebytes Premium can both be installed, since they don't need a lot of RAM, so no problem with that.

i had some time to look at it his function is bugged up basicly he write it himself "// hacky but works: small number is command id, large is submenu (a pointer)"" that indicates he tryed to trick it and had to do "hacky solutions" he use a endless while true loop with ends escapes and continues, also goto´s,calls to the same functions in a function, and then seperators for his menu to fix how he called it "bad seperators" this ended up in a os specific solution you useally dont do that because the operating system can might change the relevant codes over time (such as 7 to 10, or 98 to nt) - something like this already happend in the past but the solution to this problem is possible as the author use multiple fixes all over around (probaly to compensate the problems) it is easy to add that fix - anyways it actually was a bit weird to find it out in win10 its just a flag, that was found like very quickly - but no in xp it didnt do that and gave very weird results even turned off xp was working ok while on 10 it did what it suppose to do - it was turned off as the code suppose to was changed to let me know if it works now! the .avif file (and heic) format dont work for me, neither on xp nor on 10 nor on 7 (both unchanged from the official download page and the changed version) https://www.file-upload.net/download-15277606/SumatraPDF_WINXP_3.5.2_3.zip.html https://www.mediafire.com/file/a4mtyf33ozs6q63/SumatraPDF_WINXP_3.5.2_3.zip/file

I thought that I ought to push things along with this project with this post. The objective is to update Dibya's last patched binaries so that they are based on the last POSReady 2009 updates of these modules. It ought to be possible to patch other system files using the same techniques. The approach that Dibya has used is to patch the export table of these binaries so that API calls to NT6 functions are forwarded to an external dynamic link library that acts as a container for all the additional NT6 functions for the patched kernel32.dll, advapi32.dll, ole32.dll, shell32.dll and user32.dll. This external dynamic link library is called ExKernel.dll. I have provided a screen shot of the patched advapi32.dll opened in PE Maker here: Exkernel.dll is built by dissasembling Microsoft and Wine binaries to extract the subroutines for the additional NT6 functions to make the asm file ExKernel.asm which is then assembled with nasm.exe to produce the object file ExKernel.obj. ExKernel.obj is passed to golink.exe to link Exkernel to advapi32.dll, shell32.dll, kernel32.dll, and ntdll.dll. The ExKernel.asm file contains a table for imports as in the sample below: ; IMPORT TABLE EXTERN RtlEnterCriticalSection EXTERN RtlLeaveCriticalSection EXTERN WaitForSingleObject ;EXTERN _alloca_probe EXTERN RtlInitializeCriticalSection EXTERN SetEvent EXTERN RtlSetLastWin32Error EXTERN RtlTryEnterCriticalSection EXTERN GetLastError EXTERN GetProcessHeap EXTERN RtlAllocateHeap EXTERN ExitThread EXTERN CreateEventA EXTERN LoadLibraryA The table for exports is shown in the sample below: ; EXPORT TABLE GLOBAL AcquireSRWLockExclusive EXPORT AcquireSRWLockExclusive GLOBAL AcquireSRWLockShared EXPORT AcquireSRWLockShared GLOBAL InitializeSRWLock EXPORT InitializeSRWLock GLOBAL ReleaseSRWLockExclusive EXPORT ReleaseSRWLockExclusive GLOBAL ReleaseSRWLockShared EXPORT ReleaseSRWLockShared GLOBAL TryAcquireSRWLockExclusive EXPORT TryAcquireSRWLockExclusive GLOBAL TryAcquireSRWLockShared EXPORT TryAcquireSRWLockShared GLOBAL InterlockedCompareExchange64 EXPORT InterlockedCompareExchange64 Here is a sample of a subroutine in assembly included in ExKernel.asm FindNextStreamW: ;blackwingcat KB935839 2017.04 push ebp mov ebp,esp mov ecx,[ebp+08h] mov edx,[ecx+04h] add edx,[ecx+0Ch] mov eax,[ecx+08h] cmp eax,edx jnz L77EA5881 push 3221225489 ;C0000011h call SUB_L77E5826D xor eax,eax jmp L77EA58D4 L77EA5881: mov ecx,[eax+08h] mov edx,[ebp+0Ch] mov [edx],ecx mov ecx,[eax+0Ch] mov [edx+04h],ecx mov ecx,[eax+04h] push ebx push esi mov ebx,ecx push edi shr ecx,02h lea esi,[eax+18h] lea edi,[edx+08h] rep movsd mov ecx,ebx and ecx,00000003h rep movsb mov ecx,[eax+04h] shr ecx,1 and word [edx+ecx*2+08h],0000h mov eax,[eax] test eax,eax pop edi pop esi pop ebx jbe L77EA58C5 mov ecx,[ebp+08h] add [ecx+08h],eax jmp L77EA58D1 L77EA58C5: mov eax,[ebp+08h] mov ecx,[eax+04h] add ecx,[eax+0Ch] mov [eax+08h],ecx L77EA58D1: xor eax,eax inc eax L77EA58D4: pop ebp retn 0008h Here are some issues that I am unclear about and I would like Dibya or someone to clarify: Can someone supply instructions on how to use PE Maker to add additional entries to the export table? How do you know if there is sufficient space in the binary to be patched to accommodate these new entries in the export table without over-writing some of the existing code? Is there some way of creating extra space in the binary to to accommodate these new entries? What tool is recommended to extract functions as assembly from Microsoft and Wine binaries? Why criteria would you use to choose either Microsoft, Wine or BWC binaries as a source for these extracted functions? If you decide not to use an external dynamic link library as a container for the additional NT6 functions how would you insert them into the binary to be patched? Would you dissasemble the binary to be patched and paste the dissasembled NT6 functions into it's asm file then assemble it, or could you extract the NT6 functions as hex and paste them into a hex dump of the binary to be patched? ExKernel.asm

My previous post must have seemed naive to an expert like VistaLover, but I had anticipated that the CDM client would calculate a checksum of it's main dll to detect tampering, and if the checksum did not match the correct one in the client's code a signal would be sent to the widevine server to halt the download of the encrypted keys. Castlabs are now offering a free service for Widevine/VMP signing of application packages derived from official releases of Electron. They also offer a commercial VMP certification of custom Chromium/Electron adaptations which sounds like it is not free. Perhaps VistaLover could study this page Electron for Content Security VMP signing service and make some recommendations to the Supermium developer.

No, that's not it. Seems that Win+X is removing itself with newer Windows Updates Wipe %localappdata%\Microsoft\Windows\WinX

Thanks for the replies. I guess I have a slightly newer version. It seems to be working OK. I'm more up on Windows XP than Windows 7 ... so it's all good.

@VistaLover, somehow missed your post from 2/15/2024. if i did i would not have posted. ment no disrespect.

Update notification! As already reported , the Root Certificates have been updated and are now from 27-02-2024. Here are screenshots of both updaters: Therefore, my self-created, offline Root Certificate Updaters in the section 11.2.4. Downloads related to Root Certificate Updates (in the first post of this thread) will also be updated as soon as possible. Cheers, AstroSkipper

@Damnation Next try gives this Dietmar https://ufile.io/tw0rd9vu

This is a quotation from gorhill's wiki page about the legacy extension of uBlock Origin: Source: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/tree/master/dist#install Drag and drop the previously downloaded ublock0.firefox-legacy.xpi into Firefox (Pale Moon, New Moon and so on) is the recommended method there for installing an uBO xpi file. Same here by JustOff: Source: https://github.com/JustOff/ublock0-updater/issues/112 This type of update, by simply installing over an existing installation, may have worked in the past, but unfortunately, as shown in my above-quoted proof, it hasn't worked for a long time when it comes to the default filter lists. uBO's settings, self-created rules and self-added, custom filters remain intact as far as I noticed. But why did the users never realise this update issue in the past? The answer is quite simple. After installing or updating uBlock Origin, it automatically performs a download and installation of the internal list of all default filter lists (assets.json) quite promptly. So, a user always got the most recent version of this file from uBO's update server. Unfortunately, this file hasn't been updated for a long time and has become more and more obsolete. In my mod uBlock Origin Legacy, I therefore have removed the auto update of this file and started to maintain it by myself. That's why now a user immediately notice the issue that the new filter lists of my mod are not shown when installing an update of uBlock Origin Legacy over an existing installation and why a clean install is mandatory (and already was in the past). One thing I should still mention. When I make a recommendation that something should be done one way or another, I never do so without a specific reason. Cheers, AstroSkipper

@Damnation A first run shows only the same error as you have, that someone tries to write in forbidden memory Dietmar *** Fatal System Error: 0x0000007e (0xC0000005,0x00000000,0xF789E168,0xF789DE64) Break instruction exception - code 80000003 (first chance) A fatal system error has occurred.

@Damnation First I make small joke, just replace acpi.sys, halmacpi.dll and ntoskrn8.sys with your version on the XP SP3 Setup xp.iso. But during the "Setup is inspecting your hardware configuration" comes message, that "acpi.sys is damaged". Now I setup with the original files and debug Dietmar

It works with Vista x64, x86, I checked myself. Though, it can't boot from it. I have a classic BIOS from 2009 (without films and games in it).

Here's a fully working ASM1061 PCI-E Cards to SATA 3.0 with two internal ports, works with Vista without any additional drivers. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/355467151767 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/126046738088 Manufacturer claims full support. https://www.asmedia.com.tw/product/77BYq58SX3HyepH7/58dYQ8bxZ4UR9wG5

I am not doing this, I considered doing it to prevent buggy code being pushed to roytam1's users, but I never decided to actually go forward with it. What's sad is that roytam1 continues to release code to his users that has not been verified as production ready. Code in the master branch of upstream UXP or upstream Basilisk is not always production ready. I have seen issues reported on MSFN for roytam1's builds because he was pulling code from master branches before they were ready. He is doing a disservice to his users by giving them potentially buggy code.

This is not the reference edition I was talking about. Reference is slim, but long. https://www.tweaktown.com/reviews/7170/nvidia-geforce-gtx-980-ti-reference-video-card-review/index.html

True, Supermium has already been discussed elsewhere at MSFN; but still I welcome @westpoint‘s first-ever post here (although his account was created two years ago). This forum certainly needs some new members. Supermium 119 actually supported Vista before any Windows XP support was added, so the Vista forum was a logical place for a post.

For me, ESET never was, not only it marked legit copy protection game files as "viruses", it also deleted important files on my XP pc and put them to "quarantine" forever, I was not surprised to see it still does! To be fair, I gave it a chance in the past. I remember, I even lost my online registration for the DVD check of Sacred 2 (based on securom). As for your OT question, I fail to understand, why would you be interested, if you discarded ESET anyway? I could only guess, but If you want to be recruited or renew some previous pre-1991 arrangements, I'm sure there's no need to go to Bratislava, and I'm definitely not the one to talk to! NOD32 "Such file could contain valuable information, and losing it is certainly not what you’d wish for" https://hetmanrecovery.com/recovery_news/how-to-return-files-if-eset-nod-deleted-or-placed-them-in-quarantine.htm

Of course, Avast Premier's self-protection was deactivated before I started the uninstall routine. Everyone who wants to completely remove an AV programme that has such a self-protection function should know this. But that did not help at all. It was the same with Eset NOD32 Antivirus in the past. The uninstall routine of Avast 18.8 was inadequately programmed and therefore rubbish. And AvastClear 18.8 is not much better. The way I described in the article "Why I switched from Avast! to WiseVector StopX" I quoted above, on the other hand, worked excellently, but is not readily accessible and recommended for an inexperienced user. PS: The reader should not be confused by the title of my article. In the meanwhile, WiseVector StopX has been abandoned by the manufacturer and is therefore history.

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!

Asking Kaspersky whether his competitor Avast is safe. Nice joke! I will soon ask the chef of a restaurant I visit if his food is good.

7-Zip is a file archiver. It is no security programme. It is great and my main file compression and extrcting programme. IMHO, there are no security concerns. But talking about it here is definitely off-topic. So you're right. You won't find it in any antimalware software list. But you can find a description here: In the case, 7-Zip has been updated in the meantime, I will edit my article soon.

WOW! A portable AV! That's definitely something unique. The last time I used a portable AV, it was ClamWin. Panda Dome looks more and more tempting, I will probably make a small gift to my mommy and purchase her a paid version of Panda Dome for WinXP laptop!

Thank you for providing this link! I will have a look at this.

it's made in china just like the last working and stable web browsers for XP. google, intel, nvidia, M$... and many others who don't support XP anymore are not chinese companies AFAIK Read this quotation from my introductory post containing the conditions for posting here in this thread: No more off-topic posts in my thread! This is my last warning. AstroSkipper

I totally agree. Same here in Germany! I do not know anyone either who is interested in using Kaspersky or do trust their products. Thanks for your confirmation!

@Dixel! Hello and welcome to my thread! Glad to hear you like my thread! I have been using Panda Free Antivirus for several months. I am generally amazed at how little resources it uses and how it protects my Windows XP computer completely satisfactorily. I hope you will find what you are looking for here. My list of all presented security programmes in the second post of this thread is just under construction, but will be maintained by me and constantly expanded, if my real life allows it and I have not to waste my time commenting on programmes that have long since been sufficiently discussed and put ad acta. Greetings from Germany to The Netherlands, AstroSkipper

Hello, jasonjulius1122! Welcome to MSFN! MSFN is rather exclusive, it's the place for the strong! If you're strong, you'll enjoy it.

AstroSkipper, greetings! It's so great to see you're still here and provide us with top-notch software only! I'm actually amazed and intrigued at the same time! They still have such a nice all-in-one security European software package for XP, and I didn't know about it! What would I do without you! I'll intsall it on my mother's laptop as soon as I visit her. The name Panda was confusing though)))) I thought it was Chinese, now I see it's European, and I'll not hesitate to use it!

Malwarebytes Premium is more than a virus scanner. Here is a link to read what kind of features are offered in Malwarebytes: Have a lot of fun while reading!

The Giant Matrix home page disappeared in 2015. Their last version seems to be 9.0.1 from 2013. I assume that Anti Tracks' VPN feature doesn't work anymore in these days. For me, no problem, I use paid VPN services. In any case, I will check this programme more deeply when I have more time. First, I will add it to my internal list.

Already happened in November of 2022, Google had pulled the plug. https://msfn.org/board/topic/184046-future-of-chrome-on-windows-7

Thanks ! Is it any faster than the 471 ? They said it has no gaming improvements, only "security".

Well, 2021 games don't work, like I wrote just now. RDR2 is 2019. I'm pretty sure you got the wrong impression, It would be easier if they worked on win 7 ! I don't even have win 8/10 and not going to. The "fact" is debatable, to say the least. We shall see how folks will try to survive without chrome, audacity, MKVtoolnix, etc. My 26 y.o. girlfriend says Windows 7 is a system for pensioners, lol. I wonder what the next younger one would say !

Why would I read an article from early 2017 for such obsolete hardware ? We shall have 2023 in a couple of weeks. I don't know people who would voluntarily purchase a 6 years old laptop just to be able (possibly, without any hard proof) use Win 7. From what I know, that trick worked only for some early Kaby-lake models.
