It could be interesting: https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=15486&p=112017 https://www.xudongz.com/blog/2017/idn-phishing/ I'm trying the change: "network.IDN.restriction_profile" set to strict

Attention! KB4467689 has been released twice this month! The file versions of the files (kernel32.dll, ntdll.dll, ole32.dll, rpcrt4.dll, rpcss.dll, sprv0407.dll, xpsp2res.dll) are different! In this regard, KB4466388 (kernel32.dll, ntdll.dll, ole32.dll, oleaut32.dll, rpcss.dll, xpsp2res.dll)! With KB4466388 the file "oleaut32.dll" is available again in its original size (550 KB), here I still have to test. For KB4467689 (windowsxp-kb4467689-x86-embedded-enu_b974cbc4675474ddb38c41f7926f493cde207eee.exe) the version should be taken from 11/12/2018, as the file version harmonizes with KB4466388. Meanwhile, the older version of KB4467689 was taken offline at MS. Update: Problems with the file "rpcss.dll" from the updates WindowsXP-KB4466388-x86-ENU.exe and WindowsXP-KB4467689-x86-ENU.exe with under forwarded to Avast. https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/1857d37693b8b96a2fdfaadc9bc18e4839fedd5a18ee064f922370887210d024/analysis/1542142348/ A comparison with the German-language updates (The file "rpcss.dll" is just in the English language version and identical in size) https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/58098a479b7db74de938f5a9dd3e474ea5ec52ad46883a659a5d490daf01c75d/analysis/1542143217/ Funny, I am curious about the result of Avast. Update 2: A test with MBAM legacywos-3.5.1.2522 was successful and I could not find any problems because of the current "oleaut32.dll" of KB4466388. Apparently the missing functions were implemented again. In addition, KB4134651-v2 has been replaced by KB4466388. @Sampei.Nihira

Yeah roytam1 is probably the most dedicated developer out there and tbh I won't let PMdevs stop me from using a browser that has been ported from their work, by a very decent person

Any of roytam1's options are great for Windows Vista and XP. You can use Basilisk/Serpent 52, K-Meleon on Goanna (KM with the Pale Moon engine to give it better compatibility), or New Moon. I won't get too far off topic here, but even though the Pale Moon developers (or at least Matt Tobin in particular) may be childish, don't let them stop you from supporting/using @roytam1's work to keep updated browsers going for Vista/XP, as if it weren't for him, us Vista/XP diehards would be out of luck... I'm extremely grateful that he's dedicating time and effort into providing not only one, but several browsers for these OSes, since I am still an avid user of Vista myself. Read paragraph above Thanks for the addition! Added to the list in "Audio & Music Creation/Editing Tools" section. Another thing I should mention, Avast Antivirus (both editions) will soon stop supporting Windows Vista (and XP) in January 2019. According to this article, the software will no longer receive major version updates (and therefore new features) on Vista, but it will continue to offer protection for users of these operating systems through definition updates, which personally is fine with me since that's what really matters. Another update for AV on Vista - Sophos Endpoint Security & Control, a suite of applications made by Sophos (including AV), no longer supports Windows Vista as of October 31, 2018, so the last version has been listed: However, as I pointed out on the list entry, it should also be noted that this EOL does not affect Windows Server 2008 SP2, which should be supported until around July 2021, according to the Sophos support article linked. Anyways, thanks to those of you who kept this topic active while I have been away. I should be online more often from now on (for real this time )

I see you've decided to come trolling again Jody... because what else is this really? If you no longer use XP, you no longer care about XP, and you think XP users are somehow backward, then why do you bother to come here to read the XP forum or even attempt to engage the XP users? You say you come here for "discussion" - but most of the time you're only interested in pushing the "accept change and move on" argument. You will agree or semi-agree with some minor point here and there to maintain the impression that you're having a fair discussion or that you're open-minded, but in the end your opinion never really changes. So why do you keep expecting other users minds to change? Do you just like to keep the disagreement stirred up to waste everyone's time? Why do you have such an intense interest in what operating system others choose to use if your mind is already made up about it? Why does it seem to bother you so much when other people don't just "go with the flow?" Who are you to question anyone else for their choices, or to seek "justifications" for those choices? (even if, as you claim, you mean nothing ill by it) If you really believe that something newer is always better, then you're welcome to your opinion. But that's nothing more than "chronological snobbery." The fact that something is newer does not make it better than something older. In fact, the reverse is frequently true. This attitude (prevalent most everywhere I look online these days) that it's OK to force, browbeat, insult the intelligence of, shame, chide, or in any other manner "push" users of any product to give it up for something newer just because someone else says it's better is a cancer, pure and simple. I'll bet that most people pushing this drivel would be deeply offended if say, someone told them their political views were wrong and that they should change because someone else says so. Too many people today are willing to sing the praises of freedom until that freedom applies to something they don't like. Yes, Microsoft has a right to change their products and/or change their business philosophy or whatever. But as far as I am concerned they have a moral obligation to NOT WILLFULLY make it more difficult for users of previous products to keep those products operating. Said users paid for those products, and the fact that some time has passed does not make those users somehow obligated to give up something that works perfectly well and buy something else because Microsoft says so. Don't want to support it any longer? Fine. But don't start putting roadblocks out for those older systems intentionally. This is the main root of the problem that many of us have with Microsoft and many other software/tech companies. It's not what they choose to do, but how they go about doing it. So they want to release a new operating system? Fine. Release it, and if it's really better than what users already have then people will begin to move to it of their own accord. Where the problem arises is 1)when they start pushing FUD garbage about how suddenly you will become vulnerable to this or that catastrophe simply because you haven't chosen to move on; 2)when they use their "influence" to push other companies and products to no longer support an older system; and 3)when they start "manipulating history" to remove information or files relevant to older products, thereby making it more difficult to keep the older systems running (which once again were paid for, and the fact that time has passed does not invalidate this). Very few things make me angrier than when I follow a link to Microsoft's site that is supposed to lead me to some documentation or update for an older system and instead I get some garbage like "We're sorry. This page/update is no longer available. Update to Windows 10 today! It's up to date, fast and secure!" My response? Sure. When .... freezes over. +1 Amen. +1
