Not a big problem, since everything these days feels like an early alpha. Open source, especially.

Of course! I am definitely not interested in collecting malicious files. I don't put that kind of filth on my disc. Thanks to good real-time protection and my online behaviour!

I'm against Open Source in the current form/state. The quality dropped down significantly. People just need to be paid! For example, MPC-HC. It's not what it used to be, polished and versatile.

I never had any problems when updating virus definitions via VPN.

It doesn't prove anything. Russia actively uses VPN literally everywhere, including MSFN bots and troll farms on Twitter. (remember the topic about Russia+VPN). It's on the contrary, Russia blocks own citizens and some connections from outside, but not spyware and bots it spreads all over the world. If we see such Kaspersky promotion pressure even here, the ban the US gov. implemented hits them hard.

On the contrary! In that 94th version of yours Client Hint was experimental/partial/not fully implemented.

Totally agree! Take AV1 codec, it's royalty free and squeezes out the commercial H265/H264. And it's bad news for the developers' salaries, actually! I mean, this whole shift.

you may open up the chassis and inspect the motherboard, maybe some capacitors are failing (most noticeable symptom is popping on the top)

forgot to upload before sleep, and they're uploaded now.

Thanks for your interest! In the end, I couldn't figure out why the described issue occurred in one Windows XP partition but not in the other. One of the rare issues that I couldn't fix. The good thing is that I am now using a much better startup manager. So, thanks to Glarysoft for this issue!

You might want to think about your download behaviour. And about your choice of favourite search engine. Yandex is a very bad choice but a good one to get crap. 200 out of 1000 files flagged that's a quota of 20%. Far too much! All what I can say is .

I have an investigative journalist article where they caught Kaspersky helped to track users per FSB request and then they raided their house, I'll not add it here because another user already tried, and it got deleted immediately.

So stay on 110 for now, it's quite fast (yeah, "gut feeling")

v123 can't block client hints!! They see your real agent, most likely that's why they allowed you to login.

I logged in with Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/113.0.0.0 Safari/537.36 (on a 110).

Analog NTSC is 60 interlaced fields creating 30 frames per.second. PAL is 50/25. Digital TV theoretically supports higher frame rates, but in practice only broadcast the traditional analog rates.

Well, what does it matter which version something is, not like anybody's ever going to find the "last version" anyways. Here's the last remaining download websites for windows 3.1 programs.... that I know of..... http://files.mpoli.fi/software/WIN16/ An ancient, and I mean ancient website that's been floating in cyberspace, untouched since I first discovered it back in the mid nineties. I honestly can't think of a single website that is older without changing. LOL. This thing is a damn relic. https://www.sac.sk/ Slovak Anti Virus Center...... basically a HUGE pile of old, ancient, useless Win9x and Win3 and DOS software https://ftp.sunet.se/mirror/archive/ftp.sunet.se/pub/simtelnet/win3/ Mirror of the old Simtel.Net http://ftp.lip6.fr/pub/pc/garbo/windows/ And lastly, but not the least, the Garbo PC Collection for Win31...... another ancient, archaeological dead fossil from the early 90s. I was a teenager when I'd spend hours and hours downloading crap from there on my 56k modem. Enjoy, Win31 fans.

I already created a separate thread with the title Startup Managers under Windows XP which can be found here: https://msfn.org/board/topic/184648-startup-managers-under-windows-xp/ StartUp Organizer from MetaProducts is a commercial programme, though. Most users are not willing to buy a licence for those tools. And TBH, there are enough tools free of charge. But nevertheless, such programmes can increase system security, however, only if security features have been implemented in.

I have a rule of updating my browser in about a year, maybe a bit over a year. 15-16 versions is the maximum where it needs to be thrown away. Just polyfilling simply isn't enough.

Thank you for another compliment! At this point, I'm starting to have doubts about yours. People asked you to stop posting off-topic. Is it really so hard to understand? That we have no way of checking out with simple ways, unless I poke the guys from CIA I worked with. But then again, it's none of my business, I'm just joining other people of this wonderful thread by @AstroSkipper and ask you to stop the derailing.

Are you really serious? A new installation after every update? And all this effort for an ancient programme with a totally outdated AV engine? I'm losing faith.

VPN has been discussed in different threads on MSFN but is not really a security programme and therefore rather off-topic here. Proxy settings are not necessary for using VPN, especially if you are connected directly to the internet. So what do you want to achieve with the proxy settings of a programme when it comes to VPN? And what does that have to do with this thread?

The purpose of doing such work isn't to get back to the original source, but rather to be able to have a copy of the program that can be changed.

a crash in mozjs.dll could be an old bug since it doesn't change for a while.

I would also claim (with no data to back it up, I do admit) that hackers and cybercriminals have ZERO interest in creating trojans and malware targeting XP. Why target x number of computers on XP when you can target y number of computers on 10 or 11? y > x Guess I also kinda see it this way. Hackers and cybercriminals aren't interested in breaking into my XP anyway. Yahoo data breach of 2017 - they hacked into Yahoo servers, not personal computers of the 3 billion accounts that were effected. LinkedIn data breach of 2021 - 700 million users effected, 700 million personal computers were not hacked into. Facebook data breach of 2019 - 533 million users effected (is it effected or affected?) Yahoo data breach of 2014 - 500 million users effected (and Yahoo clearly didn't learn anything because see above's 2017 data breach) Twitter data breach of 2018 - 330 million users effected LinkedIn data breach of 2012 - 165 million users (and again they didn't learn anything because see above's 2021 data breach) Equifax data breach of 2017 - 148 million users effected eBay data breach of 2014 - 145 million users effected Capital One Target Sears JC Penney Facebook data breach of 2018 - 87 million users effected (then 533 million a year later in above's 2019 data breach) Anthem Dropbox Tumblr Uber Home Depot Marriot Those seem to be the bigger ones. I don't deny that home computers get hacked into, but I think "click-happy" consumers installed the trojans themselves because they're not really "computer people", they just want to play solitaire and download screen savers.
