There are now (at the end of 2025) very, very few anti-malware programmes for Windows XP with real-time protection free of charge. Panda Free Antivirus is an absolute exception. It is still maintained and runs under Windows XP. Here are two screenshots of the current version 22.03.05, which has just been released: An anti-malware programme with a most recent scan engine and up-to-date virus definitions even under very old OSes like Windows XP or Windows Vista. What more could be wanted? Here is the link to my updated article: Cheers, AstroSkipper

It's my own personal opinion that it was done intentionally so D.Draker's name and maybe a few others, would drop off the 'Popular Contributors' list in time ... which finally happened in the last three weeks, or so. I actually miss his name no longer on the list ... it was interesting watching his 'contributor count' go up and down. I hope I am wrong about the 'topic views' ... but since October nothing, lots of '0s' starting to show up. ...

Generally, Panda Antivirus Free is working under Windows XP, even in the most recent version. However, there are two issues. The first issue which I noticed is the unability to connect to a Panda Dome account. Every time you open the programme interface, you are annoyed by a pop-up window asking you to log in to a Panda Dome account. However, this does not work under Windows XP and ends with an error message. There is no official solution for this error. But I have a solution. It appears to be a TLS problem. A secure connection is required, which Windows XP cannot establish natively. The solution is ProxHTTPSProxy, HTTPSProxy or ProxyMII which you can get in my thread Simply set the proxy in the Panda Antivirus settings and set up your Panda Dome account. Once this is done, Panda will no longer bother you, and the proxy settings can be deleted again. The second issue consists of a delay of several minutes during system start-up. Panda Antivirus needs round about 5 minutes to be completely loaded on my machine. I tried different versions and possible solutions, but nothing helped. Therefore, this issue has been reported by me to Panda's support. We will see what happens. Greetings from Germany, AstroSkipper

I was able to login in with OAth2 using MailNews with an outlook account. I had to go in the config editor and set *general.useragent.compatMode.firefox* to true. Then the Microsoft login page displayed properly and worked. Hope it helps some folks, I am using windows server 2003

As part of my work on ytBATCH, I have investigated many ffmpeg releases that are supposed to be compatible with Windows XP. These include, for example, the releases from @Reino, sherpya and @autodidact. The relatively new ones from @Reino and @autodidact work well with YouTube. But when it comes to TV streams, it's a completely different story. Their latest ones in particular have considerable problems with TV stream URLs. On my old Windows XP computer, negative performance changes are immediately apparent. FFmpeg 3.4.1 from 2017 is too old and can no longer access TV stream addresses. The newer releases 7.1 from 2024 and 8.1 from 2025 require much more CPU power than before. They are therefore problematic for older, weak Windows XP computers. That's why I still have been using ffmpeg releases from 2019 for TV stream addresses.

I believe in those numbers, as I already stated, I don't trust someone will perform the fake scheme you just described. People have things in life, apart from the forum, you know! Besides, it's easy to check, as I already stated, too! So what? It's my business in what to believe. But at this point, it's too obvious you're very annoyed with someone else's fame. I also think there was a hidden reason to disable topic views. As already stated by @Monroe. Otherwise they would've gotten them back by this time already.

Yes. All builds of ytdlp-silent-xp.exe have been tested by me on my Windows XP computer. Unfortunately, none of them are working, not even the latest.

For anyone who isn't familiar with LUA scripts. My mod of the LUA script yt-dlp4vlc does the following: YouTube links entered in VLC are now processed by the YouTube downloader yt-dlp and are then transferred to VLC and played back. Credits to FalloNero. The console window is hidden either by a PowerShell command or by the tool hidecon if the latter exists in VLC's programme folder. Video links without appended quality parameter can now be played again with the quality preset by the user in the VLC settings. The default video codec has been preset by me to h264 so that even older hardware is supported. This can of course be changed in the script by the users according to their needs.

@DesWer on GitHub in the Rumble thread asked me for a link to my Python for XP environment. Well, here it is, complete with all current dependencies installed: Python311_XP-folder.7z Extract it to e.g. C:\Python311 and add that folder, plus C:\Python311\Scripts to your PATH. Instead of building the standalone executable with PyInstaller, you can use pip to install the Nightly build directly: python -m pip install -U --pre "yt-dlp[default]" That will install/update the dependencies as well. (yt-dlp Nightly from 2026.01.02 is already included)

The old download link I used in my ytBATCH releases was https://github.com/nicolaasjan/yt-dlp/releases/latest/download/yt-dlp_x86_Windows-XP.zip which is no longer working. As you can see, at some point you changed the file name of the ZIP archive. For me. no problem. I have already rewritten the yt-dlp update module for the upcoming release of ytBATCH.

hmm, confirmed v30i and v31 also works. and it seems to be broken in v31a and later. since there is no release note and/or changelog for v31a, nothing is known besides ntdll and kernel32 are newer in v31a.

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:

Apparently, I'm not the only one who has noticed such abnormal delays when starting up Panda while system start: 16 minutes! That's record-breaking. Any other here observing similar issues?

If you encounter problems installing Panda Antivirus Free and uninstalling it fails or is incomplete, you should use the Panda Dome Generic Uninstaller, which is available here: https://techsearch.pandasecurity.com/PandaKBView?id=kA1Vr00000064QjKAI

Microsoft .NET Framework 4 is needed and should be installed to ensure that Panda Dome runs correctly.

Ran into a small problem after downloading your 'offline installer' download. I got offline to run the download and found out that I need to have .NET Framework also installed. I did have .NET Framework 2.0 installed years ago but removed it. Didn't seem to have much use for it on Win XP at the time. If there were any programs that might require it I was always able to find another program that didn't need .NET Framework to run. I have all the .NET Framework versions that worked on XP stored on a DVD backup with other old Win XP programs ... in case needed one day. I think at the time .NET Framework 3.5 was the last version to work on XP but after getting back online to search around I now see that there is a .NET Framework 4.0 that will install on Win XP SP3. I have now downloaded that version but I may just try .NET Framework 2.0 first out of curiosity and see if that works. If not then I can jump to version 4.0. That version from MS is dated from last year: 07/15/2024 ... I will put the MS link here in case someone else has need for it. Microsoft .NET Framework 4 (Standalone Installer) https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=17718 Date Published: 07/15/2024 Supported Operating Systems: Windows 7, Windows 7 SP 1, Windows Vista SP 1, Windows XP SP 3 Windows XP SP3 Windows Vista SP1 or later Windows 7 Windows 7 SP1 Supported Architectures: x86 x64 Thanks ...

AstroSkipper ... Just came across you're updated information dealing with Windows XP and Panda Free Antivirus. Around two weeks ago I was actually looking for any antivirus programs still working with WinXP in 2025. Didn't find any after doing a quick search on some programs that worked many years ago and reading your earlier post on the subject. Thanks again for the update on this valuable information for Windows XP users. ...

This thread is about anti-malware programmes under Windows XP. BTW, there is definitely no need to use an "ancient version of whatever" under Windows 10. And talking about your "ancient version" is like "beating a dead horse". A version of this programme running under Windows XP has not been available for a long time. And it gets even worse: the programme is not secure, and its country of origin is beyond good and evil. In my next article, I will post something current for Windows XP.

Personally, I don't expect modern websites that are full of multimedia or completely overloaded to still run in UXP browsers under old OSes like Windows XP, but I am happy about those that still do. All others are called up by me under Android 10 and above. That's why I'm extremely relaxed about the whole thing. The more websites running in New Moon or Serpent, the better, but if not, then that's just the way it is.

Seeking suggestions to improve video streaming experience. 1) ability to save presets specific to Computer A's speakers, Computer B's speakers, and Computer C's speakers 2) ability to prevent things like action movie LOUD scenes from being TOO LOUD 3) should work on multiple web sites (ie, not YouTube-only types of extensions) My current config uses two extensions that work decent for the most part. But one of the two extensions (Audio Compressor) has a tendency to LOCK UP (video freezes and/or stutters) and needs disabled/re-enabled quite frequently. Re-enabling also requires the streaming video web site to be reloaded. Currently using Audio Compressor version 0.1.28 in conjunction with Ears Audio Toolkit version 1.3.12. https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/audio-compressor/daomidlfpcfjchpalpjogmnhabkekbnn?hl=en https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/Ears: Bass Boost%2C EQ Any Audio!/nfdfiepdkbnoanddpianalelglmfooik

Bad news about eScanAV Anti-Virus Toolkit (MWAV)! Their free antimalware scanner can't be updated anymore. I also tried to manually do it with their (weekly) offline virus database updater but this doesn't work either. Here is a quotation from their website https://www.escanav.com/en/mwav-tools/download-free-antivirus-toolkit.asp: And if you update the programme without knowing any better, it will be updated, but rendered unusable with an error message that does not tell the truth.

I examined the crash dump files which were created for the PSANHost.exe process after crashing. The crashes also seem to be related to the module psanrknl.exe. And they occur precisely every 60 to 65 minutes, so to say absolutely periodically. Maybe, a time bomb inside the setup file which will be activated when the version has become too old? The Panda Antivirus 21.01.00 setup file is already more than three years old. And if this theory turns out to be true, I'll be really furious and have to reconsider my opinion of Panda.

You made/forwarded/cited this so-called claim. The burden is on you to prove it. Citing two people arguing in Russian is no proof of anything. If you can't prove it, it doesn't exist. But technically, I AGREE WITH YOU. No skin off my back either way. Supermium couldn't log into my bank. But yeah, I did try, and yeah, I *immediately* changed my bank password after the failed login attempt. Supermium (and all Chrome forks above version 79 [December 2019]) have password data breach "protection". Personally, if you "trust these", you only INVITE man-in-the-middle and you VOLUNTEERED for your password hash to be TRANSMITTED !!! You REQUESTED it be analyzed via THIRD-PARTY to see if it exists in the wild. You ASKED for that when you opted in for the "protection". This is no different than VOLUNTEERING your local files to be SUBMITTED to antivirus firms if you allow them to be scanned by antivirus software. Technically, I AGREE WITH YOU, there *ARE* settings in Supermium (and all Chrome versions since 2019 !!!) that transmit data that I **OPT OUT OF**. But for the enduser that does "trust" the 'service', I leave that up to them to decide on their own, I would suggest they disable these "settings". But there will be just as many that claim they are "safer" having some embedded Chrome "service" acting as their "nanny" to protect themselves from themself.

Forget about the Panda support! I reported the issue twice. The second report was quite detailed. No response so far. Not even an acknowledgement of receipt or the opening of a support ticket. Very disappointing! Although Panda Antivirus Free 21.01.00 is running on Windows XP better than the latest version, even this version seems to have problems. And once again, the culprit is the process PSANHost.exe which yesterday suddenly started to crash from time to time for whatever reason. I'm currently trying to determine the reason for these crashes. This PSANHost.exe is slowly getting on my nerves. Either I solve the problem or Panda Antivirus will be completely removed from my system. The Panda support seems to be non-existent.

It's a way to say thank you! Or you prefer paypal? @NotHereToPlayGames, I've examined your profile for the last two years. After D.Draker disappeared. you barely posted for a year, and I understand you, we all were, still are, and will be in a depression. But the year before that, also rather weak posting, not to count the endless off-topic posts filled with displeasure and disgust about other members' popularity, what's the explanation for that? A friendly advice, jealousy isn't a good thing, start making contributions to MSFN, you will get the feedback! As of now. you will still have zero views on your topics, even if they fix the counter. Take a look, while I was on holidays, D.Draker got another thousand of views, all despite being absent! Take example.

Once again, you're completely wrong. Your cited "free speech" has not existed among you for quite some time.

@NotHereToPlayGames Once again. This topic is about the counting of topic views. Nothing more, nothing less. Stop your off-topic babbling! I am interested here to know what is going on with the number of views counted by the forum software. Your silly and childish behaviour is rather annoying and, what's more, simply embarrassing.

Many programmes come with their own OpenSSL modules to establish secure connections. If such a programme is no longer updated, it is only a matter of time before secure connections can no longer be established. Local updating of the OpenSSL files by the user, if possible at all, can then help. A global installation of a current OpenSSL version will not help at all in such cases, as it is simply not used.

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.

Notice: upstream pushed a big ICU update, and I may need to further look at the changes to see if any new changes are needed for our old target platforms, currently no ETA for upcoming new builds.

Apparently, I'm not the only one who has noticed such abnormal delays when starting up Panda while system start: 16 minutes! That's record-breaking. Any other here observing similar issues? Until Panda fixes this bug, I will avoid using the latest version 22.03.05. When starting my Windows XP computer, I am not prepared to accept lazy compromises. The start-up process must run smoothly as I always managed in the past. Panda offers two different installers, one of which is a "legacy" one. This installer does not solve the delayed start-up problem either. All 22.0x.0x versions have start-up problems on my computer. Especially the PSANHost.exe process leads to a full utilisation of the system during computer start-up. During my tests and investigations, I have now also looked at older versions. One of these seems to run much better, with a start-up behaviour that appears almost normal. Let's see if this proves to be true over the next few days.

it is fine as long as DLLs are newer than 3 Dec, as I don't rebuild whole thing.

Indeed. I have the KB4512788 (x86 for Win2003 Server); it contains fltmgr build 6912 and all 4 kernel HALs again and also kernel. This fltmgr works in XPSP3/uSP4, but hitches even more than 5107... If this thing would work normally in XP, it is a much better experience because it isn't maimed like the XPSP3_fltmgr_build5512 is. When it works, the system feels much more robust as WinNT always used to feel when coming from / dual booting 98 and NT4 and NT5. Now XP just because of this one very low level component feels like Windows 98. But hey, it's all we've got so it'll have to be enough until someone backports a proper fltmgr for it.

Even today, the proxies ProxHTTPSProxy, HTTPSProxy and ProxyMII have lost none of their importance for Windows XP. There are programmes that still run on Windows XP but require a secure TLS connection. A good example of this is Panda Antivirus Free, which requires such a connection to activate the user account, albeit only once.

FWIW, .NET FW 4.0 isn't a replacement for older .NET frameworks; 2.0/3.5/4.0 can co-exist on the same machine, and each one caters to applications targeting that specific version of .NET FW; i.e., if an app was built against 2.0, it needs 2.0 installed to run; likewise for newer apps built against 4.0... On Vista and later Windows versions, a newer 4.*.* version will overwrite a previously installed 4.*.* version of .NET FW, however this is NOT applicable to XP SP3, where only 4.0.x was made available; loyal XP users here can chime in to assist you, but from memory I recall than some feature/security updates for .NET FW 4.0 were made available at the time for XP SP3; unless the (recent) installer you linked to has those bundled ...

Ever tried GTX780 ( Ti version ) ? Well , you should ! It will outperform your 20 oldies in terms of heating up a 25 square meters room in a matter of several minutes ! Or try GTX Titan Black . I was going to buy it , but I just coudn't sit near it for more than 30 minutes and decided to stay with my first Titan (not black). Also , they all sound like a turbojet , I think you may like it even more . Build quality is very good ! Not like the modern days junk . Just buy original Nvidia reference version from 2013 , not from "partners" like Zotacs , Palit , Asus or EVGA. Besides , they already are ancient too . I know you can find drivers for Win2000. Perhaps someone modded Win98 drivers too.

Short story : just like the topic says . Longer story : I'm a sucker for great audio and video ! No wonder it was my job since the early 1990s. I have an audiophile sound card (several , actually) . On a clean Vista (with any official SP) the sound quality is fantastic ! Also, the video quality is full RGB and with rich and vibrant colours , but as soon as I install almost any update after the platform update , it becomes terrible , muddy , muffled , sandy sounding . Like it's having an obstacle (a pillow) , for example. Have you ever encountered something similar ?
