This thread is technically about Supermium (which is not being sent tracking links BY THE SERVER), your question is more about New Moon (which is being sent tracking links BY THE SERVER). Again, this is all SERVER-SIDE. The browser doing the rendering is rendering exactly what is being sent to that browser BY THE SERVER. And New Moon is being SINGLED OUT. Chrome/Chromium/Supermium/Catsxp/r3dfox - all of these are not being sent tracking links BY THE SERVER. It's all in the USER AGENT (in this case). New Moon without a useragent override (note: you have to hover over a search result link to see the tracking URL, it is not always shown in the address bar): New Moon with a useragent override:

upstream #2895 is fixed with a big help from Mr.Q and better javascript random() will be available on both 32 and 64 bit build later.

And if anyone thinks that there is hardly anything worse to report about SUPERAntiSpyware, I have to disappoint them. We now come to the "official support" for SUPERAntiSpyware, which has since been taken over by the American company USTechSupport. If you want to fill out the online form on the SUPERAntiSpyware homepage, you are required to provide a telephone number. Rejected! An email to support is answered immediately, but of course by a bot. You can write whatever you want, but you won't get any help. Just a recommendation that it's best to use the telephone support. And for this information, the support ticket is then marked as resolved. I've never seen such rubbish. The hotline is probably chargeable. It all smells like a rip-off. That wasn't the case when I contacted SUPERAntiSpyware support the last time years ago before it was acquired by RealDefense LLC in 2023 which is also an American company. But when it comes to America, nothing surprises me anymore.

SUPERAntiSpyware stopped Windows XP support with the version 10.0.0.1254 which was the last working installer version. Until the end of last year, it was still possible to update to version 10.0.0.1266 via automatic updates. Since the beginning of the year, this is no longer possible. Users are constantly being nagged to perform a programme update under Windows XP SP3 32-bit that renders the entire installation unusable after application. This is because it updates to the 64-bit version 10.0.0.1282. The old files are of course overwritten, and anyone who has not created a backup beforehand is lost. Luckily, after hours of searching, I found a Norton Ghost image of my other XP partition with the last changed files when SUPERAntiSpyware was updated to the version 10.0.0.1266. That's why I was able to manually restore the destroyed installaton. Furthermore, the size of the virus definition file that is downloaded has increased significantly. As before, it takes forever to load. The only good thing is that the definitions are still being updated at all. So, nothing is fine. You don't need one. I've had a lifetime licence for the Professional version since 2013. It used to be worth something when Windows XP was still supported. Those days are finally over.

I use Panda 22.03.01 and on a dual or quad core systems PSANHost upon boot up doesn't really waste any cycles, only swells to ~100MB and then goes down to ~15MB from what I observed in TaskManager. It's been a wonderful replacement for Avast and/or AVG and their treachery of the XP systems after all this data we've shared with them throughout the years.

that had to be said. And yes, you were absolutely right. At least, Adlice's support has replied quite quickly. In contrast to that I haven't heard from Panda's support for weeks. Seems to be non-existent.

First of all, thanks for uploading the files! I was surprised to learn that there is supposed to be a .NET Framework version 4.0.30320 for Windows XP. I couldn't find anything about it in any official source. In any case, your installer "Microsoft .NET 4.0.30320 Full" is the same one I have, and it has the number 4.0.30319.1. Presumably, at least for Windows XP, there is no version 4.0.30320. You can find out your current version installed with the following command: reg query "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v4\Full" /v Version The MS Visual C++ 2010 SP1 (10.0.40219.473) installer is indeed the last one you can still get from Microsoft or from abbodi1406. I will try later. In any case, thanks again!

Here you go, enjoy! Installers.zip

I agree as a general off-topic observation that while you do, of course, need to have a general awareness of security and privacy issues when working online, there's really no need to be paranoid about it.

Unapplicable legal snippets. msfn.org is an international forum, not a USA forum. My Ancient Version of Kaspersky is definitely not an unlawful program for me or for the great majority here at msfn.org. Why don't you wear a head scarf in your msfn.org picture, to obey Iranian Islamic Law, to avoid offending strict Moslems? Maybe you should tell your fellow Canadians to stop travelling to Cuba in winter, because U.S. laws declare tourism to Cuba as illegal. There are good laws and bad laws. Would you have obeyed in 1935, as a good Canadian, the German Nuremburg Laws https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuremberg_Laws and betrayed Jews to German concentration camps? Would you have obeyed in 1964, as a good Canadian, the United States Jim Crow laws https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Crow_laws ordaining racial segregation and racial discrimination? There is no need to commiserate here with the lack of freedom of U.S. subjects. This is an international technical forum. Hopefully, U.S. subjects will eventually get their freedom back. And no more unapplicable legal advice from a U.S. fifth column in Canada.

@genieautravail The ungoogled version has the flags #disable-encryption and #disable-machine-id. Enabling them will disable encryption and machine ID creation, allowing you to transfer your profile to another computer. The developer will not transfer them to the regular version, leaving the functionality completely stock. Therefore, for the regular version, use third-party tools to create a portable version.

Well... That's the latest official 'xidel-0.9.9.20230616.8842.e14a96920e01.openssl.win32.zip' on https://sourceforge.net/projects/videlibri/files/Xidel/Xidel development/. Or 'xidel-0.9.9_2025-02-22-git-3e7e88a62307-openssl-win32.7z' on https://rwijnsma.home.xs4all.nl/files/xidel/personal_builds/, which I compiled myself. On Linux Xidel by default requires OpenSSL to open https urls at all. On Windows the normal win32/win64 binary relies on Microsoft's SChannel SSP (Secure Channel Security Service Provider) to do that. On Windows XP SChannel is limited to TLS 1.1, while practically all websites nowadays use TLS 1.2 and newer. So Benito, Xidel's author, created the openssl-win32 build especially for WinXP users. Xidel supports all OpenSSL versions. If you'd like to know what Xidel can do, I suggest you have a look at StackOverflow here or here. Obviously every piece of software that requires the OpenSSL dlls for internet connectivity can use these.

Of course it is! They are different sessions, different cookies. I'm failing to understand the obsession. I'm done here, I really do not need the obsession.

But I feel like the TIME that was spent to demonstrate this PROOF is time WASTED. Because my name doesn't begin with a "D" so answers, despite 100% accurate and true, will never be "liked". Yeah, that was a rib-jab.

Only the official quickjs (32-bit) release natively supports Windows XP SP3 x86: https://bellard.org/quickjs/ https://bellard.org/quickjs/binary_releases/?C=M;O=D https://bellard.org/quickjs/binary_releases/quickjs-win-i686-2025-09-13.zip This fact has been stated earlier in this thread (but am lazy now to find the relevant post). ... And, if you're prepared to use "hacked-binaries" (binaries HexEdited to redirect XP-incompatible kernel functions to OCA/Wine/ReactOS DLLs, then there's this : (the "appeal" of NodeJS vs quickjs is that the former is many times quicker (pun intended) compared to the latter ...)

You can read all about it in the Wiki. Deno can't be used on Windows 7. Node can be used if you use this fork. Take node-v20.19.2-win-x64.zip. extract to e.g. C:\Bin\Node and add that folder to your PATH. Can also be done via CMD as administrator: setx /m PATH "%PATH%;C:\Bin\Node" QuickJS can also be used, but it's rather slow (put qjs.exe and libwinpthread-1.dll next to yt-dlp.exe). Then add to your config file: --js-runtimes quickjs Or: --js-runtimes node

FFmpeg update. XP: shared static libfdk-aac VISTAx86: shared static libfdk-aac

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.

I also tested again the real-time protection module of SUPERAntiSpyware. The CPU usage on my old computer is high and completely unacceptable. Therefore, a Professional licence is not worthwhile at all on low-performance computers.

When I set up my Win 7 notebook two years ago I had wanted to use TinyWall as a firewall ... it was listed as a simple firewall that worked. However, it was listed for only Windows 11 / 10 so I went with an older version of ZoneAlarm that worked with Win 7. It works good as just a firewall, no complaints. Just two days ago I discovered that there was an older TinyWall version that did work with Win 7. https://tinywall.pados.hu/ TinyWall is a lightweight, user-friendly, and secure firewall for Windows. It is also completely free. Under FAQ: The latest version of TinyWall runs on Intel- or AMD-based Windows 11 / 10. An older version, TinyWall 3.2.5, also supports Windows 8.1 / 8 / 7. Just asking if anyone is using TinyWall 3.2.5 on their Win 7 setup and if you have any comments, good or bad? Thanks ...

Today, I have uninstalled Panda Free Antivirus 21.01.00 and installed Panda once again but via their online installer. The version installed by their online installer is 22.03.05. The online installer downloads the legacy installer FREEAV_LGC.exe (117MB) and not the common FREEAV.exe (161MB) under Windows XP. Unfortunately, the version 22.03.05 needs much longer for starting when booting Windows XP. It is round about 5 to 6 minutes on my old machine. The culprit is the process PSANHost.exe which places very high demands on the CPU, up to 99%. The previously installed version 21.01.00 only needed 2 minutes. I'll keep the currently installed version a while just for testing purpose but I think I'll go then back to version 21.01.00. The next days, I'll use to see how this version behaves in my system doing all the things I usually do.

reverting changes in #2895 seems help. now 32bit builds are being compiled and same filename archives will be replaced later. EDIT: all today's 32bit build archives are updated.

The background images are all JPG files and already locally stored while installation.

At the beginning of my Odyssey, I investigated all folders and registry keys belonging to Panda Dome. Therefore, I also found the location of these background images. Additionally, I analyzed the registry accesses of Panda Dome, in particular with regard to the background images. But I have not yet identified the core of the problem. Unfortunately, it is in my nature to solve problems. The pictures are totally unimportant, but I still have to solve the problem. Especially if it works in my other partition. But in any case, thanks for your efforts!

Revo Uninstaller 2.4.5 is the last free version for Windows XP which is offered as an installer and a portable release. You can get it here: https://www.revouninstaller.com/version-history/. Revo Uninstaller Pro 3.2.1 (installer/portable) is the last paid version for Windows XP. It's a very important tool to get rid of remnants regarding antivirus/antimalware programmes.

I got a reply from Adlice to the supprt ticket I filed in terms of RogueKiller: So what was posted here has been confirmed. RogueKiller's real-time protection was never designed for older operating systems such as Windows XP. But at least we have a scanner that still runs on Windows XP in the latest version.

Fair enough, as long as the conversation is kept directly relevant to the use of Panda Dome on XP, or indeed any other AV program. Sorry, I have now realised that the details of the .NET 4 updates on Revo Uninstaller are not with the actual installation records, as they are called 'Security Update for....' so appear in a different place in the list! Here they all are, enjoy! The last two images have duplicated entries. Why they all seem to have the same installation date i'm not sure, I don't remember doing an OS reinstallation in February 2019!

In my main article about Panda Dome, I posted download links to get the most recent installer. Even a link to a legacy installer.

@nicolaasjan I have attempted to make compatible 64-bit OpenSSL shared libraries using MSYS2. If you would like to test them.

Just running the proxy in the background doesn't mean it is also used by a programme. What I meant is whether you're running ProxHTTPSProxy system-wide or not. In any case, Panda Dome has to use the proxy. Thats why I had to configure Panda Dome to use it, however, for activation only.

I have already provided a solution to activate Panda Dome under Windows XP. Read this post: and this one:

Sorry to resurrect this again but I think the yt-dlp4vlc script has an error. I think the probe function is incorrect . . . function probe() -- Check if the input is a YouTube link return vlc.access == "http" or vlc.access == "https" and (string.match(vlc.path, "youtube%.com") or string.match(vlc.path, "youtu%.be")) . . . should be . . . function probe() -- Check if the input is a YouTube link return (vlc.access == "http" or vlc.access == "https") and (string.match(vlc.path, "youtube%.com") or string.match(vlc.path, "youtu%.be")) . . . notice the brackets around the first 'or' pair. Bit marginal but without those brackets any http url will return true. Ben.

You're right. I take it back what I said earlier. I have actually changed the build_openssl3() function locally to automate the process of creating the shared- as well as the static-release. And in the process I forgot to strip both dlls. The filesizes are now identical to what you ended up with. I re-uploaded 'openssl-3.6.1-win32-shared-dev-xpmod-sse.7z'.

For anyone not up to speed; the reason why this is happening has been revealed by one of yt-dlp's major contributors: A lot has changed recently, so I've done some new testing. ios For me personally this player_client still works without a Javascript runtime and a 403 HTTP Error. Compared to me previous post `;formats=missing_pot` is needed though: FOR /F "delims=" %A IN (' yt-dlp.exe --extractor-args "youtube:player_client=ios;formats=missing_pot" -f "(bv[width<=1920]+ba)[protocol^=m3u8]" -O urls "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=###########" ') DO @IF NOT DEFINED url[0] (SET url[0]=%A) ELSE (SET url[1]=%A) "C:\Program Files\MPC-HC\mpc-hc64.exe" "%url[0]%" /dub "%url[1]%" /close This oldschool method works fine, but as it requires two separate commands I always use my favorite command-line tool Xidel to create the following one-liner: FOR /F "delims=" %A IN ('yt-dlp.exe --extractor-args "youtube:player_client=ios;formats=missing_pot" -f "(bv[width<=1920]+ba)[protocol^=m3u8]" -O urls "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=###########" ^| xidel -se "let $url:=x:lines($raw) return `\"C:\\Program Files\\MPC-HC\\mpc-hc64.exe\" \"{$url[1]}\" /dub \"{$url[2]}\" /close`"') DO @%A FOR /F "delims=" %A IN (' yt-dlp.exe --extractor-args "youtube:player_client=ios;formats=missing_pot" -f "(bv[width<=1920]+ba)[protocol^=m3u8]" -O urls "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=###########" ^| xidel -se "let $url:=x:lines($raw) return `\"C:\\Program Files\\MPC-HC\\mpc-hc64.exe\" \"{$url[1]}\" /dub \"{$url[2]}\" /close`" ') DO @%A As an alternative to... -f "(bv[width<=1920]+ba)[protocol^=m3u8]" ...you could also use... -f "bv[width<=1920]+ba" -S "+proto" --format-sort-force web_safari This player_client does require a Javascript runtime (I'm using deno). It only provides the m3u8 protocol formats (audio and video combined), so no filtering is needed, which makes the one-liner very simple: FOR /F "delims=" %A IN (' yt-dlp.exe --extractor-args "youtube:player_client=web_safari" -f "[width<=1920]" -O urls "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=###########" ') DO @"C:\Program Files\MPC-HC\mpc-hc64.exe" "%A" /close I'm not sure if this player_client provides anything larger than 1080p. If it doesn't, then `-f "[width<=1920]"` isn't needed. As mentioned earlier, most of the time I now use LibreWolf to watch ad-free Youtube videos. I do remember getting the "Sign in to confirm you’re not a bot." message after having watched a dozen Youtube videos through yt-dlp and MPC-HC. Maybe "--impersonate firefox" could prevent that from happening?

Or generally on old machines with a single-core processor. After restarting my computer, it additionally installs or updates some modules like, for example, NNSNAHS (Network Activity Hook Server Service) which makes starting much worse. Now, I get a popup that no firewall is installed for a short time, and Panda gets deactivated. A further one minute later, it finally activates itself. So the start was extended by at least another minute. Not good.

Glad you like Supermium, I've been using it for ages now on XP, and it's become my standard browser even on Windows 10. To answer your questions - 1. Unfortunately, Supermium has no internal mechanism to set itself as the default browser on XP. It can be done with a lot of tedious registry editing, or by using a utility like PortableRegistrator. https://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/portable_registrator.html 2. This one is easy! Just type chrome://flags/#custom-ntp into the address bar, enable it, and fill in the URL that you want your new tabs to display. Restart the browser and there you are! 3. All I can suggest for that is to try different themes. Hopefully one of them will make things more readable for you. I'm sure that almost everything can probably be customised if you know how, but I don't have that level of knowledge of Chromium customisation I'm afraid. Cheers, Dave.

The same exact v23 *offline* installer when ran in Win10 *ALLOWS* for an OFFLINE installation. In XP, the *Offline installation* checkbox is disabled so you are forced to use the offline installer as a "stub" that downloads v22! XP: 10:

I asked that as the most recent version of Panda Dome is actually 23.00.00.

So I got some time today, I tried the driver, I had to add my device inf., it installed fine, but gives error 43 code.

I have no problems to post links that link to the MSFN forum itself. A very fresh example is here. https://msfn.org/board/topic/185045-supermium/?do=findComment&comment=1264614

I assume it depends on the version of wsusscn2.cab file you have used for offline scanning. My version is of 11/12/2019 and works like a charme.

Here is the post and a download link for HTTPSProxy. The author is Thomas S., a member of this forum. But if ProxHTTPSProxy doesn't work then HTTPSProxy won't work either.

Only HTTPSProxy but afaik it bases upon ProxHTTPSProxy so it won't work either.
