Reviews: "Panda's ability to catch malware lags behind that of many other free security products," from: https://www.tomsguide.com/us/panda-free-antivirus,review-3524.html "Its security scores may not be consistently impressive" from: https://www.techradar.com/pro/security/panda-dome I was also surprised at the score of 6/100. I initially thought that I had a wrong setting in Panda. The 100 files in my sample were from actual downloads from eMule, together with many good, clean files. I have two 2TB HDDs with flagged stuff from eMule, and could have increased the sample size to 10,000 infected files from eMule, but an initial check with 100 randomly picked infected files was good enough for me. I only wanted for myself an initial glance at the approximate detection capability of stuff from eMule, which may be different from the results of official tests by the professionals.

Thanks, AstroSkipper. But pw-protected "ProxHTTPSProxy_TLS_1_3_1_5_220717_PopMenu_3V3_CheckedByAstroSkipper.7z", containing your software package, has still the same issue (false positives by Kaspersky) which I posted on 14Jan2025, https://msfn.org/board/topic/183352-proxhttpsproxy-and-httpsproxy-in-windows-xp-for-future-use/page/61/ cacert_updater.exe and cmdow.exe inside your package still get flagged as Trojan and riskware by Kaspersky. mediafire: "This file was uploaded from Germany on January 14, 2025 at 9:50 AM" I surely want to believe that your package is clean. Maybe you can make these two files look clean or replace them, not just password-protect them? Many good little files have disappeared into oblivion because they were flagged.

Don't worry, I have 6 licences (for 26 PCs) all on the same email address.

The activation of a Panda account needs a TLS connection. That's why you have to use ProxHTTPSProxy or similar technology under Windows XP. No chance without it since Windows XP lacks modern, secure protocols natively. And any contact to Panda support without a registered account is not possible.

I doubt that you really "have to". ie, enter a FAKE/TEMPORARY email address !!! I use GUERRILLA MAIL all the time for things like this. There are others. **NEVER** give out your real email. Not even my checking account has me REAL email. I do *NOT* want their monthly *CRAP* just to tell me a monthly statement is available.

@VistaLover didn't talk about your "ancient version" but about Panda Antivirus Free. BTW, it doesn't make any sense to talk about your ancient version as it is no longer available for other users and therefore no option. Furthermore, I doubt the tests you carried out regarding Panda's detection rate. Panda has always achieved reasonable results in official tests. It is better to leave such tests to the professionals. Here is a current test with a comparison of 28 antivirus programmes from December 2025: https://softwarelab.org/best-antivirus-software/ Panda came in fourth place in this test with a detection rate of 99%. Here is a quotation from this test: Your detection rate of 6% is rubbish. Does Kaspersky pay you to spread such nonsense?

I test-downloaded it, kerio-pf-2.1.5-en-win.exe is the identical installer file of v2.1.5 which I have been using under WinXP since 2008. After registering, the Registration tab in the window "Administration" changes to a License tab. One issue I remember was that Kerio crashed sometimes when a program was running in a sandbox under Sandboxie v5.22 under WinXP. I then unloaded Kerio while the program was running in the sandbox. After having finished running the sandboxed program I re-started Kerio. Another minor issue is a bloated filter.log file. Writing to the .log file can be disabled by -> Advanced button -> Miscellaneous tab -> de-select Log into file (filter.log). Disabling writing to the logfile has made uTorrent v3.3.2.30488 (17Jan2014) a little faster on my slow Inspiron 7500 (700MHz Pentium III).

Probably for the same reason it doesn't install on WinXP Pro SP2 x64; the Panda devs, in a narrow-minded decision , have hardcoded WinXP to ONLY be NT 5.1; anything higher (e.g. 5.2) is assumed to be Vista+, for which they mandate a version of .NET FW > 4.0.x (4.6 to be precise):

Panda Free Antivirus is more or less the last anti-malware programme with real-time protection for Windows XP free of charge. There are a few others, but they need a paid licence. The firewall I have been using for many years is the Sphinx Windows 10 Firewall Control Plus XP. Personally, I consider this firewall to be the best under Windows XP. And I've tried almost all of them.

Thanks. I first installed MS .NET Framework v4.0 (18Mar2010) under WinXP SP3. Then I installed OK Panda Dome v21.01.00 under WinXP. I selected "Offline installation" during installation. I have not yet activated the program because activation requires entering an email address. After the first run the Settings window indicates "Last updated 12/26/2025". First the good news: Panda Dome v21.01.00 runs OK under WinXP on my old Inspiron 7500 (700 MHz Pentium III, SSE-only). The program does not seem have a conflict with other programs installed. Kerio Personal Firewall v2.1.5 has no issues with the program. It is even possible to run My Ancient version of Kaspersky simultaneously with Panda Dome, no conflict. Now the bad news: I made a virus-check with Panda Dome v21.01.00 of "My personal in the Wild", which is a collection of 100 infected files downloaded with eMule. I had prepared this collection a year and a half ago for testing-purposes by taking at random 100 files from a HDD full of infected downloads from eMule. Panda Dome v21.01.00 flagged only 6/100 files [msg: 8,531 scanned, 7 detected, i.e. 1 file was flagged twice, because of multiple infections], Only 6 files were quarantined, and 94 infected files were left as "clean" in the folder \My personal in the Wild_6Jul2024\ For comparison: When I ran My ancient version of Kaspersky with this test set of 100 infected eMule files, Kaspersky scanned 171,873 files contained in the various .rar, .zip, .exe etc in \My personal in the Wild_6Jul2024\ and, detected 167 viruses, trojans etc. 99 files were cleaned, the single file which was flagged but not cleaned was a .rar file containing in turn infected multi-part .rar files. Panda Dome v21.01.00 does NOT install under Windows Server 2003 SP2. When I tried to install it under Win2003 SP2 I got the incorrect error message: "You must upgrade your version of .NET Framework". Panda Security apparently did not prepare a recent corporate edition for Windows Server, maybe no demand. Kerio Firewall flags a file named "TUNNEL.EXE", which has to be given permissions. Which IT-Manager would be inclined to license software which opens a tunnel into corporate computers? BTW, Panda Security is a Spanish company https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panda_Security which was acquired in March-June 2020 by the U.S. company WatchGuard https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WatchGuard BTW, Kerio Personal Firewall v2.1.5 (30Apr2003) does not have a Server version either, but is still my favorite firewall under WinXP.

https://github.com/LordOfMice/Tools/blob/master/nvme9x.zip Full handling of Windows 9x specific requests that use Linear Scatter/Gather buffer. Update is recommended. Install either by reinstalling the device or manually copying nvme2k.mpd and nvmevsd.vxd to %windir%\SYSTEM\IOSUBSYS\ The problem and solution are described in detail in https://github.com/techomancer/nvme2k/issues/15 There are no remaining issues, except for slightly slower performance under Windows 9x than under NT. This turned out to be an issue with the implementation of standard OS service for DMA (Bus Master) controllers – it's almost impossible to receive a real requests for the controller longer than 64K over any length of time. Solution is possible, but this would require custom implementation, using non-standard code.

lol, good catch... not the first time I've done that typo... a flaw with my keyboard, I'm guessing...

... Surely a typo, but you actually mean MB there, don't you ...

Hi To make all new versions of Roytam browsers work under XP SP2, here is the simplest solution... download:CFF-Explorer.exe https://ntcore.com/files/CFF_Explorer.zip Launch CFF Explorer.exe and open the file in the Roytam browser Open concrt140.dll, click on Import Directory, and then click on kernel32.dll then click on the line 00037E0A - 00037E0A - 0256 and Change the function name from "GetLogicalProcessorInformation" to "FindNextFileA", and then Click on Save. do this for all roytam browsers and it now works for xp sp2.

yes it is always an issue because GetLogicalProcessorInformation is missing in XP SP2. you may either update kernel32.dll with that API available(i.e. WindowsXP-KB936235-v2): http://kmeleonbrowser.org/forum/read.php?19,143253,page=10 or patching your target application with kernelxp and patchk32. https://github.com/roytam1/rtoss/tree/master/kernelxp a patched SP52 running on just-installed XP SP2 VM: or unpatched SP52 build on WindowsXP-KB936235-v2-x86-ENU installed XP SP2 VM:

I suppose your investigation results are quite valuable to XP SP3 users on old and under-resourced H/W; so, thanks for your time spent ; however, unless one had downloaded to disk v21.01.00 when it was still current, it's now a real task to find working/valid links to actual (off-line) installers to it ; I did a simple G-search for it and ALL results on pages 1-3 point to (mostly) stub or off-line installer-links hosted on the vendor's (PANDA) servers; but these tend to download the latest version of the software, not the older one we're after ; I did succeed in the end in finding links to offline installers for v21.01.00, but these were self-hosted on Iranian and/or Russian sites, so, as you can understand, I won't share them publicly here ; other than that, is there a special setting one should configure in v21.01.00 so that it doesn't auto-update to a more recent version? FWIW, v23.00.00 has now become the latest (digitally signed 22/12/2025) ... Kindest greetings.

Merry Christmas and please enjoy a freshly specially experimental build!

My wireless adapter drivers are all dated 2013 thru 2015. Once I find one that works, IT NEVER GETS UPDATED. I often intentionally attempt to track down OLDER and never newer.

I downloaded one of the files which mediafire did not like: https://www.mediafire.com/file/4sqkixfd2waaypt/ProxHTTPSProxy_TLS_1_3_1_5_220717_PopMenu_3V3_CheckedByAstroSkipper.7z/file I checked with my ancient version of Kaspersky, updated with the signature of 8Nov2024 (I only update once every 3 months). 1 Trojan and 1 riskware were detected: detected: Trojan program Trojan.Win32.Gamaredon.gj file: E:\Downloads_5\ProxHTTPSProxy_TLS_1_3_1_5_220717_PopMenu_3V3_CheckedByAstroSkipper\ProxHTTPSProxy_TLS_1_3_1_5_220717_PopMenu_3V3\cacert_Updater.exe detected: riskware not-a-virus:RiskTool.Win32.Cmdow.a file: E:\Downloads_5\ProxHTTPSProxy_TLS_1_3_1_5_220717_PopMenu_3V3_CheckedByAstroSkipper\ProxHTTPSProxy_TLS_1_3_1_5_220717_PopMenu_3V3\PopMenu\cmdow.exe Kaspersky gives substantially fewer false positives than other virus-checkers.
