@Dave-HYes , I do confirm your findings. Panda is fully functional ! PS : Let us monitor the situation for a few days to make sure that this is the case.

OK, me again! I hope I'm not jinxing it, but Panda Dome seems to be working properly again now for me on XP. I hadn't had a stop and restart of the main service for a few days, so yesterday I removed my shortcut files exclusion. All still seems to be working fine. Can you confirm this @Tangy? Whether they have fixed it as a result of our reports or whether they realised the problem themselves, I do not know. I just hope now that it keeps on working! It does look as if XP support is still a thing for Panda Dome, at least for now! Cheers, Dave.

Sorry for the delay in responding again. Nothing has changed since my last report, the program is working, with my folder exclusions applied, with only occasional stops and restarts of the main Panda service. I can live with that in the short term. I'm still hoping, of course, that a fix will be applied and it will all come good again. Nobody has any definite evidence that Panda have deliberately stopped their XP version from working properly, only speculation. I will wait a while and ring AnyTech365 again if I've heard nothing from them about this. They will be as anxious as I am to get an answer from the Panda developers about this, I'm sure, as they will need to be able to give accurate support information to anyone else asking about this problem! Assuming that they do have a direct channel of communication to them, and it would be pretty stupid if they didn't, hopefully it won't be too long a wait for an answer, one way or the other.

I got a response from Watchguard technical support. "At this time, we have not received any official communication indicating that Windows XP support for Panda Dome has been discontinued. Based on the information currently available, Windows XP continues to be listed as a supported operating system for the legacy Panda Dome version referenced on the Panda website. Based on the information you have provided, this issue appears to be related to **Panda Dome**, which is a consumer (home) product. While we understand your concerns regarding the recent crashes of **PSANHost.exe** on Windows XP, we are unable to investigate or provide support for Panda Dome through WatchGuard Technical Support." So it appears that they only deal with professional business customers at Watchguard support, and they can't help private domestic customers. I would have to use the domestic support channels for Panda support, which I've already done, of course! The guys at AnyTech365 have promised to let me know if they hear anything about the status of XP support from Panda, so all I can do is wait.

It Seems a Lot Like Dead Internet Has Actually Come True "Agentic AI activity is driving a lot of the browser activity you're seeing." By Frank Landymore Published Jul 28, 2026 https://futurism.com/artificial-intelligence/dead-internet-theory-come-true The infamous dead internet theory was originally a conspiracy that posited that the vast majority of the internet was run by bots and thinking machines. Most accounts you saw online were really bots masquerading as people - all part of some nefarious scheme to control humankind by keeping us isolated and divided. That last part is far-fetched, but the core of the idea - that bots outnumber humans online - is inexorably starting to feel weirdly grounded. Fortune did a roundup of the latest data on the makeup of internet traffic, and most of it points to humans now being a quaint minority. "There’s a lot of missing pieces of information, but a lot of the observed data suggests the same thing, which is like there is more bot activity," Rudy Yang, a financial tech analyst at Pitchbook, told Fortune. "Agentic AI activity is driving a lot of the browser activity you’re seeing." This should come as no surprise. Bots have been everywhere on social media for a while now, and more and more people are wielding little posses of AI agents to do stuff on the internet on their behalf, ranging from conducting research to shopping. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman infamously said he was worried that the dead internet theory was coming true last year, seemingly without a shred of self-awareness. Further corroborating this new paradigm, Cloudflare announced in June that 57 percent of webpage requests were being made by bots, marking the first time that bots made up the majority by its own metrics. Bots have long been ubiquitous, but AI agents are doing the most to reshape the web. One report from the cybersecurity firm HUMAN found that traffic generated by AI agents surged by 7,851 percent year over year, Fortune noted. All those AI agents aren’t generating ad impressions, which is how a lot of websites keep the lights on, while putting a strain on those websites’ servers. "They consume the web completely differently than humans do," Yang told Fortune. "It’s almost like an entire new category, customer category, was created, and it means a lot for businesses because no one, as a business owner, is going to want to silo themselves from being able to serve a completely new customer segment." They’re also changing what we see on the web, too. A report published in October from the SEO firm Graphite found that over half of all new English-language articles on the internet were written with AI. It hasn’t helped that Google, the internet’s de facto steward, has made a hard pivot towards making the internet less navigable by humans. Now, the focus is on having a chatbot to dredge up answers, instead of providing a list of links to websites they’d find in its search engine.

@Dave-H With exclusions in place, Panda has been working flawlessly. Tonight I'll remove exclusions to see what happens. Keep you posted.

I would like for you to replace the links for RogueKiller last XP compatible versions from generic web-site links to archived links with v15 and portable v16 on 32bit and 64bit. It's a shame that Panda is placing XP on guillotine right now, but to be honest, XP had a good run, 25 years of anti-malware support from various programmes. I am still using Avast on XP VMs and i feel relatively secure with COMODO Firewall Pro from 2007 version, and i have no complaints. I do not recommend the last version of COMODO Internet Security however, because it choked my old Celeron to the core when i tested 4 years ago...

# [Windows 8.1 x64] Cyberpunk 2077 2.31 Steam compatibility patch I am publishing an experimental compatibility package for **Cyberpunk 2077 2.31 on Windows 8.1 x64**, tested against the Steam public build `20383525`. ** Download has been taken down **ZIP SHA-256:** `5D8543335269D86B7456B60B6E6A3908C6C296B186DB93F8EF25EA38D371745E` > This release was tested only on **Windows 8.1 x64**, so that is the only > operating system for which it is currently recommended. The installer rejects > other Windows versions and unsupported game files. ## What it fixes The package provides a D3D12On7 raster path for the tested Steam build and fixes the known presentation problem where Cyberpunk appears frozen and updates only when another window is dragged over it. The game can be launched normally with Steam's **Play** button after adding the launch option printed by the installer. ## Performance On my tested machine, performance is close to running the game on Windows 10. It is dramatically better than my older Cyberpunk 1.63 compatibility setup, which delivered roughly half performance on the same machine. This is an observed real-world comparison, **not a controlled or standardized benchmark**. Results will vary with GPU, driver, settings and system setup. ## Tested setup - Windows 8.1 x64 - Cyberpunk 2077 2.31, Steam build `20383525` - GeForce RTX 2060 - NVIDIA driver `474.11` - 1920 x 1080 - Raster rendering only Other GPUs and drivers, GOG/Epic releases, hybrid graphics and other operating systems have not been tested. ## Required: official D3D12On7 1.1.0 package Download Microsoft's official [`Microsoft.Direct3D.D3D12On7` 1.1.0 NuGet package](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.Direct3D.D3D12On7/1.1.0) separately and save the unchanged file next to `Install.cmd` as: `Microsoft.Direct3D.D3D12On7.1.1.0.nupkg` Expected package SHA-256: `C0C4D597537ECC1C777FA3B5523E5CCDE0B9984B88FB9F37B2385E1D687BF536` The Microsoft package is not bundled with this patch. ## Required: SecondSystem SecondSystem must already be installed and active. **It is not bundled with the patch.** Obtain it separately here: [SecondSystem from win32's Patreon](https://patreon.com/win32?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=creatorshare_fan&utm_content=join_link) Please support its developer and follow the terms provided with it. ## Installation 1. Extract the complete ZIP. 2. Download the official D3D12On7 package above and place it beside `Install.cmd`. 3. Install and activate SecondSystem. 4. Exit both Cyberpunk 2077 and Steam completely. 5. Run `Install.cmd`. 6. Copy the exact Steam Launch Options value printed at the end. 7. Paste it into **Steam > Cyberpunk 2077 > Properties > General > Launch Options**. 8. Start the game with Steam's **Play** button. Do not append custom arguments; the included launcher intentionally uses only the fixed, validated command line. The installer validates the exact game/runtime hashes and stops before changing anything if the files are unsupported. It keeps all compatibility files local to the game directory and creates a verified uninstall record. ## Important limitations The following features must remain disabled: - Ray tracing and path tracing - DLSS - NVIDIA Reflex - Frame Generation, including XeSS Frame Generation This release is for raster rendering. Cyberpunk 2.31's newer Agility SDK path is not a Windows 8.1 target, so modern features that depend on it are outside this patch's scope. ## Removal and game updates Close the game and Steam, run `Uninstall.cmd`, then clear Steam Launch Options. The uninstaller restores any files it backed up and reverses its SecondSystem mappings. The package is locked to Steam build `20383525`. The launcher compares the full contents of the current executable with its validated local copy and refuses a mismatch. After a Steam update, uninstall this release and wait for a version explicitly validated for the new build; do not remove the version/hash safety checks. ## What is and is not included The ZIP contains the original open-source proxy, launcher, installer scripts, source code, documentation and notices. It does **not** include: - Cyberpunk 2077 files - Microsoft D3D12On7 or D3D11On12 binaries - SecondSystem - Steam files - any DRM bypass A legal Steam copy of the game is required. The installer extracts the runtime inputs from the official NuGet package separately supplied by the user and creates a local working copy. Microsoft terms still apply and may restrict this use or modification; this is not legal advice. Full installation, troubleshooting, technical and checksum information is in the included `README.md`.

I just tested New Moon 28 32-bit 20260815. GitHub Assets opens, but unfortunately, it uses 100% CPU, which doesn't return to normal, and the whole browser is blocked as long as the GitHub page is the current tab without any new error messages in the Browser Console, probably as the tab is dead. That means this version is also useless to me. So for now, I'll stick with the New Moon 28 32-bit 20260627 version.

It is difficult to say what (stupid) provision there might be that prevents you from restoring/recovery, Usually it is not very sophisticated (i.,e. it doesn't interrogate the hard disk for make/model as that would be a problem in manufacturing assembling lines when a batch of different make/model disks is provided and of course there would be the need to re-create different Recovery Discs for different batches). So, generally speaking the check is done: 1) on Disk's Signature (on the MBR) 2) on Disk's Signature AND MBR boot code 3) on some values in the MBR partition data 4) on some other "hidden" sector or partition A test that costs little (only some time and patience) would be, since you have the original hard disk AND the recovery disc work fine on it would be to make a forensic (dd-like) clone of the old hard disk on the new hard disk (same size or bigger) and see what happens with it. I wouldn't overdo it, at least for the test, i.e. if the original hard disk is a 250 GB, one, a clone on a 250 or 320 GB disk has more chances to work than a clone on (say) a 1 TB disk.

and Basilisk-Dev addressed it in https://repo.palemoon.org/MoonchildProductions/UXP/issues/3157

Cloudflare's alleged Browser Developer Program Apparently there is a Cloudflare Browser Developer Program mentioned by Moonchild: CloudFlare: summary and status. And here is the official announcement: Announcing the Cloudflare Browser Developer Program. But clicking on their form Cloudflare Browser Development Program Application leads to that: Cloudflare and its developers are nothing more than propagandists and charlatans. This service holds a monopoly, which it exploits ruthlessly, and should be regulated by law under threat of very heavy financial penalties. Cheers, AstroSkipper

I implemented in my ProxHTTPSProxy's PopMenu TLS 1.3 3V3 package the tool Min2Tray which I therefore have been using for years. So I can minimise any other programme to the systray as well. That was the best I could find.

yes it is, someone filed an issue about it in upstream and it shows that github makes bad assumption. https://repo.palemoon.org/MoonchildProductions/UXP/issues/3154#issuecomment-48034

With regards to GitHub being broken in UXP browsers, the last GOOD NM28 build is: palemoon-28.10.7a1.win32-git-20260718-d849524bd-uxp-edd86c9a9d-xpmod whereas the next release, palemoon-28.10.7a1.win32-git-20260725-d849524bd-uxp-30427c0213-xpmod is the first BAD one ; so, the regression window is: https://github.com/roytam1/UXP/compare/edd86c9a9d...30427c0213 @roytam1, do you think you can spot the culprit? (perhaps Issue #3144 - Implement CSSStyleSheet replaceSync ?) The release assets and relative timestamp issues are both due to the same root cause, as they're both fine in the "last good" build: Thanks in advance ...

Check now.

I was able to get UA installed with the second link. The first link just doesn't work for me with the security settings. I will have to spend some time with it to understand the correct settings. Thanks ...

It is a built-in safety feature derived from older Firefox architecture designed to protect your system from unverified files and drive-by downloads.

The tool I have been using for decades is Norton Ghost in version 2003 for very old disks with standard MBR ( no GPT, EFI or UEFI) and a more recent version 15.0 for a bit newer disks like SSDs. This is a programme that has always allowed me to clone my computers perfectly, without anything failing or going wrong. For modern computers, you’ll probably have to resort to Acronis, Macrium or Aomei if GPT with EFI/UEFI is in use. And to clone other partitions directly from my Windows XP, I have been using an older version of DiskGenius – a very good partition manager – successfully for years.

I'm running 22.03.05. There is a more recent version 23, but it appears that isn't XP compatible, as if you try to install it on XP, you actually get 22.03.05 instead. I had no reply from the direct Panda support people responding to the report forms I sent them, which didn't surprise me at all! Nothing from the people at AnyTech365 either, which did slightly surprise me as they seemed to be pretty good. They had said that they would let me know about ongoing support for XP.

@GH0st So, here is a workaround. Create a SSUAO for cloudflare.com, i.e. general.useragent.override.cloudflare.com with the following user agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:68.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/68.0 Test it and report here! And if that doesn’t help, try disabling uBO completely, i.e. the extension in the Add-ons Manager, if you’re using it. An uBO set too aggressively made it impossible for me to complete the CF challenges.

The links are still available on Adlice servers after editing to suit the users’ needs. I do not use COMODO Internet Security but COMODO Antivirus. This works fine with no impact on CPU. And my CPU is a single-core P4. I wouldn't recommend the complete suite COMODO Internet Security, either. You must always focus on the pearls and throw the by-catch overboard.

Don’t be misled! Quoting from old, already closed and resolved at the time issues serves no purpose and is misleading. I’ve opened a new issue on GitHub today: https://github.com/Feodor2/Mypal68/issues/723 One thing is clear. If you use a browser that doesn’t support Cloudflare’s security nonsense, you won’t get very far in these days, and it’ll be useless. Indeed, Cloudflare = Cauldron Filthcare.

Update notification! Malware Hunter has been again updated on 20.07.2026 and is now available in version 1.219.0.863. It is still listed to be compatible with Windows XP. Accordingly, I will update my article to this version. Tests can be done by the users. Cheers, AstroSkipper

How to secure Windows XP in 2026 - A multi-layered security strategy It is now July 2026. Since Panda Security – either unintentionally or perhaps deliberately – rendered its Panda Dome programme unusable on Windows XP from 2 July onwards due to faulty automatic updates, there are, in practical terms, hardly any anti-malware programmes with real-time protection left for this operating system supported by both programme and definition updates. Almost all well-known manufacturers of antivirus and antimalware programmes have discontinued support for Windows XP over the years. It is therefore of the utmost importance, first and foremost, to persuade Panda to correct its update routine on the server side. Windows XP enthusiasts can exert considerable influence here by reporting all issues with Panda Dome to the support team. Only if many people do this is there a realistic chance that anything might change in this regard yet. I really shouldn’t care, since I'm actually done with Panda. In any case, Windows XP users must realise that comprehensive security suites, as they used to be, practically no longer exist. System protection must therefore be organised differently. You have to build and organise it yourself using various tools that must work together harmoniously. Layer by layer, so to speak. What do you need for a secure Windows XP system? Windows XP SP3 with all essential components and available updates. Backup system: A fully functional backup system that regularly creates partition images. Firewall: A very good firewall that monitors all network traffic, including all incoming and outgoing connections, even those from Windows XP system components. Real-time protection: A programme that runs in memory, detects and reports threats. Process manager: Located in the taskbar. Startup manager: A good startup manager. On-demand scanners: One, or better still several, good on-demand scanners with a disinfection feature. Browser: An up-to-date browser with an ad blocker. Certificates: Up-to-date root certificates. And, of course, common sense. And if anyone now claims that this is impossible, I’ll respond directly: I’ve configured my Windows XP system exactly like this and haven’t had a single infection in 25 years. Windows XP is still my main operating system alongside Android. Cheers, AstroSkipper

Comodo Antivirus 12.0.0.6870 - The last version for Windows XP FYI, Comodo Antivirus 12.0.0.6818 is not, in fact, the latest version compatible with Windows XP. Furthermore, it contains various bugs that have been fixed in the actual latest version targeting Windows XP. It is Comodo Antivirus 12.0.0.6870: And in fact, even more bugs have been fixed than those listed in the release notes. Here are some screenshots: This version runs smoothly, quickly and light on resources, and the online updates are working again, of course only after fixing myself, without any errors either. Therefore, this will be my final antimalware programme for Windows XP . I do regret not having revived this antimalware programme sooner.

You have to go to the version history and select the xpi file for 0.5.0. Has been working fine in Mypal 68/74/78 for years. Here is the direct download link: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/downloads/file/4098688/user_agent_string_switcher-0.5.0.xpi

Thanks for reporting! At last, another Windows XP user who’s also reporting problems with Panda Dome here. Which version have you installed?

Someone tried Vista RTM x64 on Alder? RTM is more stable on Haswell, if no SP instaled, I'm interested to see about Alder and Raptor, too.

I'm not aware. could you give a source?

A big bummer from Koei Tecmo Games. Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty – Digital Deluxe Edition requires Windows 10/11 No, DXVK won't help.

Maybe you have misunderstood something! What made you think you had to teach me English? Did you read all my posts and articles? Do you think my English is that bad? Misspelling caused by worsening of the eyesight is a job for an optician. Anyway, have a good night! I am tired, and my bed is calling me.
