Support for EJS is now implemented in yt-dlp master branch. https://github.com/nicolaasjan/yt-dlp/releases/tag/2025.11.01.082330

Here is another test version, using the PR fork with EJS support (also works on Vista). Instead of Deno, Windows 7 (and Vista) users can install QuickJS.

Same here

If by 'standalone' you mean a portable version, yes there is. If you are going to continue using Supermium, please continue this in the Supermium thread.

Software is hanging even on a ryzen 7 4800u as it is eating out 16gb of ram . you need 128GB ram to browse internet folks. Everything broken here and their. UI feels like GNOME and MacOSX married and produced a baby , doesn't feel Windows at all Downgraded back to Windows 10 , i am happy , no more windows 11. User: How buggy a software must be? Microsoft: Yes

Feel free to discuss this with any of the moderators. These counters are not seen the same by moderators as they are seen by userbase (myself included, admittedly). There are folks (we all know who they are) that log in EVERY DAY to hunt down posts (sometimes even DECADES ago) in order to INFLATE these "views" and "counters". But like I say, feel free to discuss with any of the moderators.

The main thing I miss about "older" goods was the in-built design decisions, for repair-ability. I think, by the time I was born, food stuff had already started declining in quality. There was already information that farming soil was nutritionally depleted, in the 1940's. Clothing was certainly still better, but likely worse than what had previously existed. One of the more notable tragedies is the decline in vehicle quality. If I could pick the era of quality, for a vehicle, it would probably land between the 40's to the mid or late 70's (something with a manual transmission). I think Amazon, as a focus for product decline, high-lights some areas of well deserved and needed attention. There are variables, existing in that scenario, that really only apply to Amazon. I think Amazon's methodology is just one example, of over all trends. In some markets there is very little option, for quality. In others, quality is only advertised/available where it is likely to be afforded. It seems to me that the decline in quality is an attempt to retain spending; this in the face of climbing inflation. If quality products replaced affordable ones the state of things would be more apparent, to the common individual. Instead, we see an increase in housing, some foods, energy, and transportation. With this increase we also see an increase in wages (depending on where you live), but this increase is "not" proportional to market inflation. There are different methods of offsetting (at least perceptually) the disproportional increase in these financial variables. At the grocer, consumers may have noticed the increase in meat and egg prices (maybe a little with dairy). But, that increase does not enough express the actual inflation versus quality of product ratio. The quality of the meat and eggs has decreased, while their price still increased. If you look outside, of the common grocer, these products are even more expensive; in the case of meat four times higher, when previously being nearer to equivalent. The increase in the cost of oats, as another example, is less dramatic. But that cost is offset by methods of growing. The use of pesticides is increased, to speed up the oat drying process. By this practice, the yield "per season" gained enough to offset the consumer unit cost. It kinda looks like (despite making more money, by transitioning to inferior products) that the overall goal is to slant consumer perspective, on the actual state of inflation. Some product actually remains at stable prices, helping secure a perspective of stability. Gasoline is a great example of this, as it's pricing gets lots of attention.

Don't have a good proxy to test right now It's just that the previous version for Vista posted in this thread stopped working with you tube at all a few days ago and this new one works again

Just tested on Vista seems to work well

Well, it is nitpicking at this point (on may part); but it still would not prevent Global Governance. You can still run different petri dishes under different rules, and be under the same umbrella of Governance. You can even have stand-offs and wars between them. It would probably work way better, than moving everything to the exact same culture of rule (Open Global Governance). There is a/some history of aristocrats and rulers fearing their own public, more than an invasion. As terrible as it may seem, there is a sound logic to sending males to battle other males (a less powerful public, during times of native unrest [especially if wishing to implement radical change]). While this it is really unlikely to have been the case "extremely" often, you can bet it has been used as a kind of population control; acts of straight out genocide being more documented. America has a pretty strong heritage of having running the Brits out. But, in reality, there is documentation of sizable British forces still being present there, after America won its independence; not long present, but enough to raise questions for some. While I won't say the whole thing was a sham (not nearly well enough informed to deny or support it) you can see the "liberation" of America being a pretty huge selling point, to get plenty of folks risking everything to develop an undeveloped territory. A large quantity of people failed, in the process of developing America. People seeking freedom of religion, freedom to develop experimental utopias, and other enamored by escaping the oppression of their native lands. There is a good chunk of that freedom that has since been revoked. For example, many delighted in the idea of allodial titles; a privileged mostly enjoyed by kings. As the government developed, this type of ownership ideal really kinda disappeared, and is now similar to what is available in many other countries today. This is "JUST" an example; so please, no one run with it as some kind of conspiracy theory. But it does show how blood and bullets could be considered cheap, when your philosophy is that you own it all anyway. What is harder to own, is the beliefs of the people. But, there is a large amount of documentation showing that great progress and success has been had there, for a very very long time. That aside, thank you for reminding me about "Checkpoint Charlie". I had fun distracting myself by digging into different aspects of it; as is available on the web, anyway. I could really easily agree with you about "Open Globalized Governance", as opposed to just the idea of a "Functional Globalized Governance". The latter likely only to be entertained speculatively (by the public), while for former being something likely quite obvious to the inhabitants thereof.

Never noticed the replies to this. Thanks, guys. I used Memtest86+ ranges and added (beginning adjusted for first bad logged address [xxxx000] and end for last bad logged address [xxxxfff] ) it to SYSTEM.INI > [386enh] > EMMExclude=xxxx000-xxxxFFF I see that I have a reduced total amount of ram, listed under properties. It is equivalent to the quantity listed in EMMExclude= Memtest86+ placed the bad memory at about 50mb thru to 65mb. If in Dos only, I use XMSDSK (not at top of memory), create a 75mb ram disk, and then ignore it. I initially thought EMMExclude has something to do with reserved UMB regions. Much latter, when exploring this machine again, I knew better. Anyway, that is what I have done. If you have any corrections, advice, or warnings, I'm all ears. EDIT: I had to use HIMEMX, as HIMEM.SYS complains about the detected bad memory; and prevents the loading of Windows.

This may be of some use for Win XP users in today's world with Win XP being phased out more everyday ... this service is also listed to work with Windows 98 SE / ME also. I used it about 6 years ago myself and now am being forced to use it again in Oct 2025 to be able to get my Win XP computer on the internet with a VPN. The paid service I was using has finally cut off all Win XP connections. They warned two years ago it was coming and the service still works for my Windows 7 computer but I still mostly use my Win XP computer for everyday connecting. As I said above ... I used this free VPN about 6 years ago and I have hooked the XP computer up to the service again. I will say that they have really improved things and the service is great in 2025. Perhaps some of you know about it already but if not ... then you can check it out if you need a VPN for Win XP. https://www.vpngate.net/en/ https://www.vpngate.net/en/download.aspx VPN Gate - Public Free VPN Cloud by Univ of Tsukuba, Japan Welcome to VPN Gate.

You will figure all this out as you get familiar with the service. ...

Yes WS addressed that and the court case being dismissed. I have searched the WS Reddit page but all that has been pushed further back with newer questions and replies. From memory it was the fault of the company supplying the server. They were in the process at the time of changing servers over to a 'no logs' policy. Then the court case was thrown out this year. They have been growing in the last ten years, people seem to like the company. They still do offer 10 GB free every month on the free plan. That's why I signed up 5 years ago ... at the time they had a nice Win XP app which went away about 1 1/2 years later but people already signed up could still use Win XP for the 'free' or 'pro' service. https://old.reddit.com/r/Windscribe/ For newer computers you might want to check them out. Then I just came across another company that also offers free 10 GBs every month also but they have nothing for Win XP that I can find, but it may be of value for newer computers or phones. https://privadovpn.com/ Download Free VPN App for Windows Get 10GB of data for free every 30 days No payment details required, no strings attached, and no hoops to jump through PrivadoVPN is committed to protecting your privacy for free Is PrivadoVPN a no log VPN? Yes, we ensure that we never log browsing history, traffic destination, data content, IP addresses, or DNS queries. We encrypt all data over our VPN connections, and we do not inspect or record the contents of what you are viewing, browsing, or doing through the PrivadoVPN connections. Free VPN (10GB/month) | Unlimited Devices - PrivadoVPN https://privadovpn.com/freevpn/ So that may be another option for some people. I still like the Japan VPN that I mentioned in my first post. It sets up everything very easy and Win XP works very good plus in 2025 support for people still using Windows 98 SE can be a plus. Most of the servers are located in Japan but there are others scattered around other locations ... but most seem to be in Asia. ...

Yes I have used Windscribe service for six years now. I went a few months with their 10 GB monthly free plan and paid for a year Christmas special and then a 3 year Black Friday special twice. A paid service is better but I still have over a year of time left on the plan and I am not paying for another service. The 'free service' will be OK in my situation. I went to the VPNBook web site and will check that out more. It might be better. I like the one that I mentioned earlier. My Win 7 notebook still works with the paid service. My time with Win XP is slowly coming to an end anyway. I had four Win XP notebooks in 2010 and now I only have one left ... the best of the four which I rarely used till the last few months. When my paid subscription finally runs out next year, I will just use 'free' service. I have heard from customer service several times but I am not able to connect. They sent this info ... not sure what the 'extension tunnel' is ... might not be for my situation. ..................................................................................................... Our browser extension tunnels your browser traffic, not your entire device. That means your Chrome (or Firefox, Edge, whatever) traffic goes through Windscribe’s servers, while your other apps (Steam, Netflix app, etc.) use your normal internet. But it’s not just a mini VPN - it’s loaded with cool features, like: Ad & tracker blocking (because ads are the fungus of the internet). WebRTC Slayer - prevents your real IP from leaking. Time Warp, Location Warp & Language Warp - fakes your timezone, GPS and language to match your connected location. Cookie Monster & Split Personality - nukes cookies and rotates your browser’s fingerprint so trackers lose you faster than your last ex. It pairs beautifully with the desktop app for Double Hop, where traffic goes through two separate Windscribe locations for extra privacy. You can read more about the extension here on our website. (Scroll down until you see it) You can also get the extension from here: Chrome - https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/windscribe-free-proxy-and/hnmpcagpplmpfojmgmnngilcnanddlhb Firefox - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/windscribe/ Edge - https://microsoftedge.microsoft.com/addons/detail/windscribe-free-proxy-a/dkkdbpgldnmkhcliffjpajcfdjkcaddf For windows XP, you can probably get our old MV2 version browser extension to work. But this is not guaranteed. ...................................................................................... Maybe some others need a 'free VPN service also so they have this information now.

I don't know where you've got the information about the latest release of DreamMail Pro from. On its homepage https://www.cy-email.com/, the latest offered version is 6.7.1.8 from 22.02.2025 which is listed as XP-compatible. In any case, there is no version 7.

Thanks for reporting! TBH, I didn't expect any further root certificate updates via CAupdater 1.0 or Certificate Updater 1.6. Great news!

I already wrote about this general.config.sandbox_enabled preference in terms of the Nuchi-Sporif script loading method and other ones:

I thought the general.config.sandbox_enabled preference is the one to be enabled if the user wants to use the sandbox feature.

@feodor2 When creating UC.JS scripts, I noticed that some Vanilla JavaScript commands behave differently in single-process mode compared to multi-process mode. When starting the browser, loading new tabs or windows, accessing elements via document.getElementById() and especially via document.querySelector() needs much more time in multi-process mode than in single-process mode. Is there any explanation for this? Is this by default or rather a Mypal 68 specific behaviour? When, for example, starting the browser with the about:addons page, it takes nearly 8 seconds after DOM is loaded to be able to access an element in multi-process mode via document.querySelector() . In single-process mode, it can be accessed directly. This is very strange and does not make the multi-process mode particularly attractive.

@feodor2 First of all, thanks for all your efforts! Especially for restoring the compatibility with the legacy Custom Buttons extension in Mypal 68.14.6b. At the moment, I am testing this new release and found several issues. Mypal 68.14.6b - The loading and scrolling websites issue in multi-process mode Unfortunately, I have to report that loading websites and scrolling them from top to bottom is seriously broken in my fresh installation with a fresh profile (untouched) when running Mypal 68.14.6b in multi-process mode. If scrolling to the top of this MSFN page, for example, leads to a blue window without content. Here is a screenshot: I didn't notice any corresponding errors in the browser console. I have installed the browser versions 68.14.4b, 68.14.5b and, since today, the browser version, 68.14.6b under Windows XP. The website loading and scrolling issue does not occur in version 68.14.4b or in version 68.14.5b. That means the issue started as of your new release 68.14.6b. And the general.smoothScroll preference is of course set to true which is the default value. So, this issue seems to be a more general one in multi-process mode and does not only happen if the general.smoothScroll preference is set to false. P.S.: After some more tests, I noticed that the website loading and scrolling issue doesn't seem to occur in your new release 68.14.6b when running the browser in single-process mode. In this mode, the loading and scrolling of this MSFN website here is very fast and error-free. It therefore appears to be primarily a multi-process mode issue. Maybe, this information is useful for you. At least I do hope so. Cheers, AstroSkipper

I assume you rather have a problem with a Windows XP SP3 essential security update since you didn't specify which update you are referring to. This, however, means that no one can help you.

The programme LegacyUpdate has been updated and is now available in version 1.10. Here can be found the corresponding changelog: https://github.com/LegacyUpdate/LegacyUpdate/releases/tag/v1.10.0.0 I'll also update my original post as soon as possible. Cheers, AstroSkipper

Since you replied to @ItCoder, I assume that you are using his proxy server method for restoring MU/AU. Your image shows the error code 0x8024400A which is listed as SUS_E_PT_SOAPCLIENT_PARSE - failed in parsing response. This error can also be found in your uploaded WindowsUpdate.log. A very short research led to the following: The error 0x8024400A often occurs in connection with a Windows Server Update Services (WSUS). The reason for this may be that the WSUS configuration was not carried out correctly or the settings were not distributed correctly via the global group policy. Check the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate Additionally, you can use the WSUSClientDiagTool tool for checking your WSUS settings. BTW, I personally have never been using @ItCoder's proxy server method. Therefore, I can't say more about it. Cheers, AstroSkipper

I sincerely hope that constantly posting offtopic isn't a form of senility. In the last few pages, one doesn't get anything about the actual topic here. @roytam1 must have a very thick skin.

Your assumption is unfortunately wrong. If you had read my article carefully, you would have noticed that the All about: custom button is not a fork of an extension but of an old custom button. When I create or fork custom buttons, then a well-functioning toolbar button is the main target. So, using the All about: custom button means using the toolbar button. That's why it is called custom button and not extension. I could implement such functionality you requested but I am not interested in. Personally, I am a fan of toolbar buttons with multiple and meaningful functions.

All about: - A custom button for accessing the about:config page and other important about:pages in a more convenient way. Forked, translated and reworked by AstroSkipper All about: is a custom button to open the about:config page solely, or alternatively, with a currently selected or a previously copied string as a filter. Furthermore, other important about:pages can be easily opened from a button menu each with one click. I created two versions, one is targeting Serpent, Basilisk and other Firefox 52/53 based browsers, and the other is targeting the New Moon and Pale Moon browsers. I forked the All about: custom button from an old but still working one, translated and completely reworked it. I changed the content of the tooltip, added a help menu, inserted icons to the about:pages button menu by adding code, adapted the about:pages entries to the respective browser versions which lead to two different versions. All has been done solely in JavaScript without the help of CSS. Finally, I rearranged some code. The All about: custom button is very handy and helpful for those who are working a lot with prefs in the about:config page. The most interesting features are to open the about:config page with the currently selected string without copying it and a button menu with only important about:pages. Here are small screenshots of the All about: custom button taken from New Moon 28: And here are the download links: All about: for Serpent, Basilisk and other Firefox 52/53 based browsers: https://www.mediafire.com/file/16sfrr2gxwdxdc7/All_about-fx-sp-ba.xml/file All about: for New Moon and Pale Moon browsers: https://www.mediafire.com/file/gyktk1qu92k003g/All_about-nm-pm.xml/file The download links contain XML backup files of the All about: custom button as the problem with the conversion of custom buttons into XML format has been finally solved by me. Simply open the XML file in the browser and click onto the install button! For the installation of this button, the extension Custom Buttons is required which you can get from this post: https://msfn.org/board/topic/183923-extensions-and-custom-buttons-for-uxp-browsers-corrections-modifications-adjustments-and-special-recommendations/?do=findComment&comment=1226328 The custom button All about: can be used with New Moon, Serpent, Firefox. Most probably also with Pale Moon and Basilisk which I haven't tested, though, as I don't use these browsers. Unfortunately, these versions of the All about: custom button don't work with the non-UXP browser Mypal 68 and other modern Firefox versions as the used code is not compatible with them. But for Mypal 68, I already created a new All about: custom button from scratch with same functionality since I also use the legacy Custom Buttons extension in this browser. Its creation was much more complicated as I thought due to some issues I had to fix and due to a complete recreation of the button menu. The custom button looks absolutely identical to the UXP variant but its code inside is of course different. Greetings from Germany, AstroSkipper

Personally, I don't expect to be able to surf every website properly with UXP browsers. The bloated, modern and totally over-greedy websites simply have to be accessed with other browsers or devices. Since there's a lot of Googlised junk on them, such sites are thrown at my Android (Google) tablet. That works great. Spoken for me only, I don't like the modern web layout. In my opinion, the entire development of websites is going in the completely wrong direction. I would rather focus on fast page loading and compatibility than overloading pages with all kinds of bells and whistles.

After more in-depth investigations, tests and analyses , I have come to the conclusion that the issue, described in my previous posts, is primarily a timing problem in multiprocess mode and can be easily fixed by inserting a delay in the right position.

@feodor2 To be even more precise, the actual culprit is the command goDoCommand("cmd_copy") if used in multiprocess mode only for fetching selected content on a page without actively copying it via Ctrl+C or using an associated copy feature in the form of a menu item or button. Normal copying content with this command works correctly. BTW, I am only talking here about the native command goDoCommand("cmd_copy") without the help of specialised extensions or scripts. For the purpose of copying selected content automatically to the clipboard, there are a lot of extensions or user scripts. Needless to say, I don't know if it is possible to fix it natively in Mypal 68. However, I personally found different solutions to circumvent this issue or bug in my coding project without the help of specialised extensions or user scripts. Whether the ideas of my solutions can be used for a native fix in Mypal 68 or not, I can't assess. Nevertheless, if you are interested in, please let me know!

@feodor2 Again, same problem as quoted above but a bit more detailed. If you select a word on a page In New Moon or Serpent, the command goDoCommand("cmd_copy") in combination with the gClipboard.read() method fetches this selected word first and only then the last copied content from the clipboard during a second, following execution. In Mypal 68 (running in multiprocess mode), it is unfortunately the other way round. For me, it looks like an issue of execution priorities. So, my request. Can you restore the original execution order when this combination of commands is used in your browser such as it is in New Moon or Serpent? And just as a further information, the combination of the commands goDoCommand("cmd_copy") and goDoCommand("cmd_paste") works correctly in Mypal 68, though. Same applies to the gClipboard.read() method which solely executed also works correctly. @feodor2 After some tests, I can confirm that the issue I reported in my previous posts only happens in multiprocess mode. When running Mypal 68 in single-process mode, the command goDoCommand("cmd_copy") in combination with the gClipboard.read() method works correctly such as it is in New Moon or in Serpent. So, it is definitely a multiprocess mode issue. BTW, I really love to talk to myself.

That's correct, and I was aware of this. But as most of @roytam1's browser editions are based on Firefox 52, I deliberately excluded Serpent 55. No, I didn't miss it. But I couldn't see any reference to the legacy UXP browsers. And this thread is not about Chrome or Chromium browser. Hence my comment.

Just as I assumed! And that's why I prefer Windows 10 Firewall Control Plus XP when it comes to firewalls under Windows XP. Never had such problems. Most of computer problems are rather home-made.

To me, these two statements contradict each other. Not at all. UXP browsers are evolving, but many old extensions are not. Conclusio ultima: These old extensions must be adapted or can otherwise no longer be used. Same applies to old, complete themes which are no longer compatible.

Not tested by me: https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/454587-youtube-always-loop-playlists

When using the TURBOLAUNCHER script, you are automatically using the "long", full version of the VORAPIS V3 userscript. The TURBOLAUNCHER script is a launcher which processes and launches the actual VORAPIS V3 userscript. The advantage is for example the processing which is first done before finally loading the complete script for execution in the browser. That's why @UCyborg could execute the replaceALL command before then using this modified version of the userscript locally. So in the end, you are always using the script Vorapis.user.js, only in different variants depending on the code inside the launcher script. Another advantage is that you are always using the most recent version of the VORAPIS V3 userscript without the need to manually modify it. As long as the browser or the userscript have not been fixed, the modified TURBOLAUNCHER 2.1.0.0 userscript is currently the best option for using the VORAPIS V3 frontend in UXP browsers in terms of the already reported issues.

Due to my hardware specs, I can't run 1080p videos on my Windows XP computer, neither in browsers nor in external players. My comment refers to medium qualities up to 480p. But I also use this extension or a script version of h264ify to ensure avoiding unwanted codecs. And I disabled too demanding codecs via prefs.

For using this modified script, the @updateURL should be removed as the modification will be overwritten again with the next script update. I use the original script to receive regular updates and to see how the script develops. And all videos I tried to play worked without any problems in New Moon 28. No crashes and no resets after a few seconds as it was before. In any case, YouTube videos are working fine again in UXP browsers and especially in New Moon 28.

You didn't follow the discussion. The search box issue only appears when using the VORAPIS V3 frontend and not the original YT interface.

You didn't read the previous posts: https://msfn.org/board/topic/185966-my-browser-builds-part-5/?do=findComment&comment=1273128 https://msfn.org/board/topic/185966-my-browser-builds-part-5/?do=findComment&comment=1273143 https://msfn.org/board/topic/185966-my-browser-builds-part-5/?do=findComment&comment=1273152 Long story short. I have already identified the cause of the issue. It is an old bug already fixed in more recent Firefox versions, identified by @roytam1 who will try to fix it if possible.

But you're very wrong. Google is nobody's friend.

Of course, I know that but opening tabs in Chrome browsers are consuming much more RAM than opening them in a browser supporting single process mode. Therefore it is problematic for my old system. But do not misinterpret my statements, I appreciate your work here and it is great to have a more recent Chrome alternative in Windows XP. And RAM uconsumption is a problem caused by developer and not by you.

Hi @roytam1, I updated to your latest Pale Moon release "palemoon-28.10.5a1.win32-git-20220423-ba47fad4d-uxp-059e35a46-xpmod.7z".

Update notification: Due to false alarms generated by some virus scanners I had to completely recreate the cacert Updater Fixed. The previous version was just a fixed and modified variant of the original file. My Avast virus scanner was constantly analyzing the file cacert_Updater.exe and generating false alarms, although it was of course virus- and malware-free. Avast did not like this old version at all, probably because of non-matching CRC check sums. Here are the VirusTotal scan results of the old "cacert Updater Fixed" and the recreated "cacert Updater Fixed" file for comparison: Old version of cacert_Updater_Fixed: Recreated version of cacert_Updater_Fixed: Now you can see the success of recreating. Only one unimportant scanner reports a (false) warning. Therefore I provide a new download link of the recreated "cacert Updater Fixed" version. Here it is: https://www.mediafire.com/file/y98gtqf8ewr6zz4/cacert_Updater_Fixed_Recreated.7z/file Kind regards, AstroSkipper

All options of the Automatic Updates (AU) applet are greyed out In Windows XP the configuration of Automatic Updates is done by an applet from Control Panel. In some cases, when you open this AU applet, all of the configuration options may be greyed out and inaccessible for the user. Very often this happens due to any of following reasons: Either you're not logged on as Administrator, or Automatic Updates Policy is enabled which can be caused for example by using WSUS + WUMT method or by individual changes to AU time intervall settings. To recover access to these options you have to delete a few keys and to change some settings in your registry. One of them has been set by using WSUS + WUMT method: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate But there are a few more keys and settings in your registry causing this behavior. I recommend to backup the registry first for safety reasons. If you are not familiar with registry keys, or you do not dare to delete or to change them, you can apply the following reg file which deletes all responsible keys and changes settings automatically. Here is the download link of FixAUOptionsGreyedOut reg file: https://www.mediafire.com/file/uqt1r3d2mz5r30x/FixAUOptionsGreyedOut.7z/file If you want to know which keys and settings are affected, have a look inside the reg file!

Microsoft Knowledge Base (MKB) and their KB articles For getting information and solving problems in Windows XP, Microsoft Knowledge Base had been an important source for a long time. But unfortunately most KB articles relating to Windows XP were deleted by Microsoft on their servers some years ago. Now we need other sources to get these KB articles. One method is to use a Wayback Machine like archive.org. Here is the link: https://web.archive.org/ Insert the original link of a KB article and in a lot of cases it was already archived in the past. But there are other sources too. Here is the best alternative: https://www.betaarchive.com/wiki/index.php?title=Microsoft_KB_Archive And this is an offline database with more than 200000 KB articles: https://archive.org/details/MicrosoftKnowledgeBaseArchive200000Articles Good luck in searching KB articles, AstroSkipper

I totally forgot to mention the main reason why you can't easily put ProxHTTPSProxy in first place. There are three executables relating to heinoganda's proxy, two located in program's root directory and the main executable in a subfolder of it, all with different functIons. In contrast HTTPSProxy has got only one executable. Therefore it's easy to put HTTPSProxy.exe in first place but not in case of ProxHTTPSProxy.

Maybe these 2807 definitions files are the very last. I do not use MSE but perhaps they are working. Link: https://msfn.org/board/topic/175514-microsoft-security-essentials-and-windows-xp/?do=findComment&comment=1165552 And the (second) ZippyShare Webproxy link of MSE updater 1.9 is still alive: https://msfn.org/board/topic/175514-microsoft-security-essentials-and-windows-xp/?do=findComment&comment=1122545 But I think the updater does not work anymore. Try it! AstroSkipper
