It's meaningless, since many people simply don't report crimes, don't want to get involved with the police, etc, and the issue is rather serous (remember the scandal you mentioned), Supermium browser, which this one is based on, is paid.
It doesn't work that way, here we respect intellectual property, even though we understand most of it belongs to another man (win32), despite all of the above, there needs to be a clear statement with Open Source code published by the author, none of that happened, so far.
Why not release a better optimised product together, then? One million releases with constant fixes only confuses people. And what does he mean by "legacy" Thorium repo? It's also confusing since Windows 7,8,8.1 are all legacy, too.
It used to be (intentionally) broken to burden (very high CPU usage) the csrss.exe service (as seen in Task Mgr). I've installed Avast (from v18 online installer) in my testing XP_VM and will tell you tomorrow. Today everything was calm.
Avast and AVG in their new, broken, state begin to burden the system through csrss.exe the next day...
EDIT: The results are in and nothing changed: AvastSvc.exe constantly eats up ~25% of (dual-core configured) CPU in VM and csrss.exe eats up the other 20% of (dual-core configured) CPU. So both take up almost 1 whole core! That is outrageous, but Avast got our data, they don't care.
Sweet!
I'm so huge into *everything* PORTABLE that I have never installed *any* C++ runtime. None. Naughta. Zilch.
I prefer to manually place the SMALL HANDFUL of .dll's that some programs require to be SELF-CONTAINED within that program's OWN ROOT DIR.
It's almost always the same two or three or four .dll's and even though my setup has those existing as "duplicates" across my hard drive, it's still MUCH LESS space than the full runtimes.
Kind of like how several .dll's land in the root dirs of things like Supermium, Mypal, Serpent, etc.
Disallow UDP connections. It doesn't need them. Lookups can be done via https. Precise explanations.

As I already mentioned in my Antimalware thread, Windows 10 Firewall Control is great and is doing a perfect job in controlling all system and application connections like, for example, Thorium.
Hi to all,
I have updated the content of my article in first post.
Due to the fact that some of you had problems when running ProxHTTPSProxy or HTTPSProxy in older systems I have examined the correlation of crashes with the SSE2 capability of a CPU. The current results can be found in sections Prerequisites and Versions.
Furthermore both versions of Root Certificate Updater have been updated and are now of 02/24/2022.

My version of 11/12/2019 is probably the same that you have used from November 2019. Then it works offline with this version but using WSUS server + WUMT doesn't work in your system. Is that correct?
Thanks for commenting! And now I have a mathematical statement for you:
@Windows7fan = @xpandvistafan
I think after evaluation the boolean truth value has to be set to true. What do you think?
PS: I hope today is my day!
I haven't tested Option 3 in my system (no need to do) but Option 1 works perfectly too such as Option 2. What's the problem with WSUS server + WUMT in your system?
