I have installed all .Net-Framework packages fronm 1.0 to 4.0 including all security patches in my system. It's not more insecure as Windows XP itself. Truth be told, several programs as for example Panda Dome need .Net-Framework in one of these versions. Without them such programs won't work. So, be aware of this fact when installing new software!

I can't confirm that statement. I have just tested Panda Dome, and it checked a file that a lot of scanners think is malware. While checking it deleted that file immediately. So, no problems here. Good protection as expected. I performed a second test. I copied two malicious files and two clean files in one folder. Then I started a manual scan of this folder. Both malicious files were recognized and immediately deleted. Panda Dome works exactly as it should be. I assume something is wrong on your side. Panda Dome works reliable, as has been confirmed for years by AV-TEST and others. Proof ? Proof ? As already explained in previous posts, I have carried out my own tests with the result that Panda Dome detected and deleted my malware. However, we all know the real security problem is very often in front of the computer. In such cases, a good program like Panda Dome can't help anymore, either.

@XPerceniol , to answer your question , I suggest to use the free COMODO firewall for your XP system. Older versions like 5.x . You can easily define what to block in the section "Network security policy" and choose any rule , port , etc.

Well it's very strange you couldn't extract them all . Perhaps something wrong with the extractor ? I've just looked up for the most unneeded (their offsets) in your latest resources file from 2205 , those are fully working extensions inside this file : 1 - mhjfbmdgcfjbbpaeojofohoefgiehjai PDF Viewer OFFSET 13022 2 - fjajfjhkeibgmiggdfehjplbhmfkialk CryptoTokenExtension OFFSET 15624 3 - gfdkimpbcpahaombhbimeihdjnejgicl Feedback to Gurgle (!)

No , but you can always check yourself . It's a 5 min. job to cut these out of the res. file. The browser unpacks these hidden extensions each time you launch it.

@Multibooter Just a little tip. If you want to mention and reach someone from this forum, then for example @AstroSkipper is not enough, it should look like this: @AstroSkipper. Otherwise it would only be pure coincidence if your enquiry was noticed.

Where did you read that Webroot SecureAnywhere still supports Windows XP? I already wrote about that antivirus program here and some more: And here is a quotation from the site you linked:

Nobody knows where a malware, virus, trojan or whatever is waiting for them. It always makes sense to build up some protection, especially in an operating system as old as Windows XP. There are only a few antivirus programs left that support Windows XP. Therefore, such a thread here is of particular importance. At least, in my opinion. That's why I share my knowledge and experiences here.

Yep , sorry , just a typo. I'm pretty tired for the last couple of days and made several typos, like .dll instead of .pak, even though I returned from my vacation , lol. Edit : Too much sun , I guess . We have a heatwave here , again.

Perhaps you need to create a new topic and call it smth like "Un-chinified/Un-russified 360 with basic privacy settings and XP skin". Thus avoiding your posts getting lost in this general discussion .

I'm not sure what exactly do you want me to capture with this screenshot . First off - removing these speeds up the browser launch , like 2-3x times. You can try and see for yourself . I'm absolutely fine with what you do or don't/won't/not going to do . I'm here as an advisor . I publish my personal discoveries and I have my own modded version . This is a "general discussion" topic , so people can/may want to disable it themselves. And the subroutines are called ! For example , in chromium (ordinary chromium) you can see that these create cookies and "app data".

Fine , no crashes so far ! Almost like it was 1106 . But 2205 becomes somewhat slower overtime . For example , when I open an instrgam account with plenty of posts and scroll down and down .... like 200-300 posts closer to the bottom it becomes somewhat sluggish, but no crashes , zero , nada . It is still usable , but I didn't like such kind of behaviour . For those who are wondering , my internet PC config is 16GB DDR3 RAM + Quad Xeon CPU , GTX Titan and Vista WITHOUT updates and without the extended kernel , I do not even have SHA-2 updates. I think I shall continue to use my 360 betas .
