Thanks @Tangy. I would be interested to know your results. Just an update, I spoke again today to Panda's technical support people at AnyTech365. Again, really friendly and helpful people, who knew exactly what I was talking about. They are thinking, as many here do, that Panda have actually withdrawn support for XP. They agree that doing this by just breaking the legacy version of Panda Dome, is not a good way of doing this, especially for paying customers, and they are trying to find out whether this really is the case or whether this has been done accidentally and will be fixed, if indeed it's possible to do that. There has certainly been no change made to the system requirements on Panda's website, and the article trumpeting its XP compatibility claims to have been updated on July 1st. They have given me a number to ring for Watchguard, Panda's parent company, so I will try giving them a ring tomorrow to see what they say about this.

Yes indeed, but if you remember, Malwarebytes did pretty much the same thing. They maintained version 3.5.1 for several years 'as is' for XP users and still provided pattern updates for it. Then they pulled the plug, without any warning, and no longer provided pattern updates, although the program still worked OK. Likewise, Panda keep 22.03.05 as their legacy version for XP users, which can still be downloaded and installed. As long as it still works, I'm not that worried if the program files are old. This is not quite the same scenario, of course, as Panda doesn't use local pattern files for scanning, which makes it even stranger that they would suddenly break XP compatibility. Whatever they do with the daily 'synchronisation' mechanism, it seems that has broken things. No program files have been changed as far as I can see.

thx steve...26H2 hot off the presses! Nothing in there. but getting ready for fall release... But for some reason the 7/14/26 update (kb5101650) (26200.8875) still fails to download (as in previous month's cumulative KB's) using WUD. frustrating. regards....

its getting off topic but you have probaly a wrong thinking about this there is a succesor system in this win2k question there was windows me - what where kinda bugged, also win9x dos direction stuff there was nt 4.0 and 5.0 - where these had a 32 bit base and no dos like 98 or ME then 5.0 was made to win2k so with XP it was about to get compatibility back and future on so in win2k you rather got a office look - it where slower then 9x aka win98 maybe me it was stable but there was also this VXD driver question a big problem there was that the go from user to supervisor mode where slow here XP could point because instead of int 2e - xp used the sysenter command (what is a lot faster) (while still can do the int 2e method too) also the entire nt 5.0 was improved - more function - while keeping compatibility - and more speed so 5.1 aka xp was the clear successor to win2k 5.2 dont really exit - its a xp they made with some server functions - its not bad but its not a real new invention then there was the vista question 6.0 slow, incompatible, parts where bugged that got fixed with 7 aka 6.1 - so 7 has more, is faster and more stable these are the successors the the subversions the most people got the code open source - if you want it for win2k you have it in your hands when i looked on firefox 110 i saw over 300 missing functions - thats basicly a lot dibya then said he want to change it "inside the code" probaly resulting in *6 the changes that being said these things are hard to make - its not like we could go there and just fix it in a few hours that e3kskoy7wqk guy has gone for that type of solution - it are really a lot of changes so what do you think ?

But if anyone now thinks that Comodo actively supports Windows XP, they are very much mistaken. This company is still advertising Windows XP compatibility, specifically here https://antivirus.comodo.com/security/windows-xp-free-antivirus.php, but for years now, the installer provided has no longer been compatible with XP. It’s completely misleading and simply sloppy. Comodo discontinued support for Windows XP in 2019. Now it’s down entirely to the creativity of Windows XP users to breathe new life into old, discontinued versions. And exactly that was what I did.

Long story short, I have revived Comodo Antivirus 12.0.0.6818 (CAV) as part of the Comodo Internet Security suite (CIS) since it was no longer working out of the box. It's one of the last working antimalware programmes with real-time protection, HIPS, VirusScope, secure containmenr, online definition updates, even incremental definition updates, and the possibility of offline updating. This is now my new antimalware programme. And Vir.IT of course. All free of charge.

It’s clear and obvious that Panda stopped supporting Windows XP for programme updates quite some time ago. The latest version is 22.03.05, nearly one year ago, and that was a long time ago. But to then go and break even that version via the automatic update – that’s a no-go. And in doing so put the user’s partition at risk.

Thanks, no problem! I'm still hoping this will be fixed eventually, especially as I'm a paying customer. I'm still getting messages in my event log that the Panda service has stopped unexpectedly and been restarted, but no actual crash messages. It's usable, but annoying! If nothing has happened soon, I will ring their technical support guys in the UK again and see if they know anything. I won't be wasting my time with any more online forms!

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 (!) OFFSET 13882 4 - Chrome Web Store Cloud Print OFFSET 11562 5 - ahjtciijnoiaklcomgnblndopackapon Identity API Scope Approval UI at OFFSET 326728

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.

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 .

Thanks , do you think all those videos Vista + Ryzen are fakes ?

I do have these blocked , chrome often sends requests there . RESERVED for adding more. It's those IPs from that article. 172.217.0.0 - 172.217.30.255 May interfere with the store , I block it anyway. 216.58.192.0 - 216.58.222.255 Didn't notice any "good" blocked sites. Safe to block . 216.137.32.0 - 216.156.255.255. Safe to block . Do not forget : Google continues to send data from EU websites to the US - despite two Court of Justice rulings. Austrian Data Protection Authority could fine Google up to €6 billion. ""Google has to hand over all data under US law. It's grotesque that they argue to have fences and signs - US survillance laws are also applicable behind fences. Standard encryption doesn't help either, as Google is required to hand over encryption keys too. In 2019 alone, they gave the US government data on foreigners more than 201,000 times." – Max Schrems, Honorary Chairman of noyb.eu" https://noyb.eu/en/austrian-dpa-has-option-fine-google-eu6-billion

@ArcticFoxie , @XPerceniolSpeaking of Gurgle IPs, I tend to think 2206 is more "gurgle friendly" , it talks to gurgle more often compared to 1106. I guess it's quite safe to use it for now . But do block those IPs , trind to find them . I still have this list somewhere , can't find right now. Also , I would recommend blocking ALL inbound traffic for 360chrome.exe on all ports with yout firewall. And block outbound for UDP port 5353 and IP 224.0.0.251 – multicast IPv4 address , mDNS multicasts a UDP packet to it. (at least with 1106)

@XPerceniol , thank you for the kind words ! There was an article (I think called "how to force internet suck less" or smth like that) , it had a ton of gurgle/yackoo IPs which are safe to block {they are useless for us} and will not interfere with casual browsing , but it got deleted ! These were the IPs for tracking , the same IPs that every chrome connects to at the start , including 360chrome , the same IPs that chromium browsers use for key logging.

No , I've never said that "I do not like" , I said it is too bright and colourful for my big monitor. I just prefer dimm lights and colours , esp. if I sit at the monitor for quite some time (prolonged periods). Also , I said you're a good modder. (a compliment , actually ! ) , English is you first language , right ? lol
