I haven't seen historical info like what you are looking for, but even if you could find it, I still don't know if it would help you now. I mean, not only would absolute numbers not be applicable, since the numbers of computers have drastically increased over the last 10 years for example, but now the market is changing more than it has before. Not only are the capabilities of the machines changing and the OS evolving such as 98 -> 2K -> XP etc, but now you have the market splintering into the Windows based OS, the various form factors such as desktop, laptop and tablet, the RT based products which don't run the same software, the Android, Google, Steam, and Linux based products, and of course more and more folks are just using Kindle type products or even smart phones for accessing the internet. So even if you had historical percentages, what would you compare it to today? I understand what you are really asking - How safe will I be if I choose to use XP once official support ends? Like dencorso says, no one is safe from someone who is targeting you and willing to do what it takes to get you, no matter what OS you are using. You can dramatically improve your chances by using appropriate layers of protection such as routers, firewalls, anti-virus, etc You can even use an external machine, maybe Linux based as a gateway, sort of a super router, which has its own anti-malware systems, which keeps anything bad from ever even getting to your machine. But you will also see members here who say that they don't run any anti-virus programs on their machines at all, even if they run a more modern OS than 98, and they don't have any problems. Bottom line, more important than the OS or anti-malware installed, are the actions of the user. If you are careful about where you go on the internet, how you handle your emails, passwords on forums or sites you visit, whether other people have physical access to your machine, what you plug into your machine including USB keys, what you download, what discs you auto-load, etc., I don't think you'll have any problems. IMHO I think all those other things play more a factor in your safety than what OS you use. Just my opinion. And if you are also careful about backups, both system and data, then even if you do have a problem you will be prepared to deal with it and be back up and running quickly. I think the most important factor in deciding what OS to run is whether it will run the other software you need and want to run on the hardware you have at a speed you are comfortable with. If you are familiar with it and you like the way it works, that is even better. So my advice is to not over analyze it. If it meets your needs, don't worry about it. Cheers and Regards

I'm not sure if this is directly applicable, but check it out, and read the next page or so and see if you can adapt it for what you need. If it works, please post back with a working solution for the benefit of others. Cheers and Regards

Since no one can know the type of vulnerability that might be discovered in the future, either in May 2014 or December 2020 or anytime in between, I don't think that anyone can really put any kind of number on that. Cheers and Regards

Oops! Sorry. You're correct of course. Thanks again. Cheers and Regards

Sorry Trip, I might have been overzealous, Cheers and Regards

Thank you. The link works correctly now. As just a cosmetic thing, the picture over the link on the main page of the site still shows v8.7.0, even though the link is correctly v8.7.1. Cheers and Regards

Hey Kel, I tried to get the latest version using the link on your site ("link removed"), but got a not found error and a 404 "while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request". (The link is also labeled as 8.7.0.) Cheers and Regards

This sounds like you want to build a warez release. If so, you will not get any help here. Cheers and Regards

Yep, but that looks straight alphabetical starting with the first letter, compared to the other way that was field dependent. But I don't guess it really matters whether it's consistent with the other section or not. The fact that it is in a pattern that is recognizable to allow you to find things is the important thing, as long as you know what that pattern is. IF it allows you to edit that file, (I'm sure when the browser is closed), then takes your edits without complaint, then it looks like that should be pretty easy to edit after all. Then the question would be if you change the order of the listing whether it then re-edits the file itself to put it back in the order it wants. That's probably not important either really. Just curious. Cheers and Regards

I still think it's more likely that "imageshack.us" was entered first, then "userscripts.org" was entered next, etc. (How did you enter those exceptions?) Because to be consistent with what I described above, (even if it did do it backwards), for xxxx.yyy addresses, it would have sorted by xxxx, then within all entries of the same xxxx, it would have sorted by yyy. But don't mind me, I'm just guessing. I've found no explanation, and no way to change the order, whatever it is. But at least I think we agree that the order is alphabetical in the main section, as long as you know which order it sorts the fields in. It's just the exception section that is still confusing. I wonder if you could figure out what file those exceptions are listed in, load that file in a text editor, resort them (I guess using regex but it would probably be a pain since I'm not a regex expert by any means) and then save the sorted file. Hover Zoom is very cool! Thanks! Cheers and Regards

I don't have any exceptions, because I don't use them, but from a quick test it seems to list them in the order they were entered in, ... I think. Cheers and Regards

Well, I'm not sure what you mean. I'm using COMODO Dragon, a Chrome variant, and they are alphabetized for me, as far as I can tell, as follows: www.xxxx.yyyy.zzz, where www and xxxx might or might not exist, and zzz is the top level domain such as com, org, net, etc. It is sorted first by yyyy, , then zzz, then www and/or xxxx if they exist. So some of my current Google related cookies and site data are sorted as: google-analytics.com google.com accounts.google.com apis.google.com checkout.googlle.com chrome.google.com docs.google.com drive.google.com mail.google.com play.google.com plus.google.com sites.google.com talkgadget.google.com www.google.com google.it www.google.it google.ru ajax.googleapis.com chart.googleapis.com fonts.googleapis.com maps.googleapis.com So "google-analytics" comes before "google" which comes before "googleapis". Within "google", "com" comes before "it" which comes before "ru". Within "googleapis.com", "ajax" comes before "chart", etc. I don't know which version of Chrome you are using, but doesn't it sort them that way for you? Cheers and Regards

I can't see how this is anything that is within Tomasz86's control, but rather some setting of Norton's, either a setting you can change in the router, or something in Norton's downloaded database that you need to report to them as a false positive. Cheers and Regards

Also, AFAIK, the only problem with doing all your work for your new build of XP while on Win7 is if you try to integrate SP3 using the /integrate switch. So two other options you have are either to install XP to a VM on your Win7 system and do the /integrate step while running the XP in the VM, or if you have a friend who has an XP system, do the integrate step on the friend's system. I think the rest of the build using nLite can be done while on Win7. If it doesn't work, you could do the entire build in the VM. Cheers and Regards

It's starting to seem more like a "New Highway, no European cars allowed, sorry" or "Due to abuses by taxi drivers no yellow cars allowed to enter the garage"... jaclaz Hmmm Maybe it's a combination of OS, browser and country of origin? I was able to access that site just fine using both Opera v18.0.1284.68 and Opera Next v19.0.1326.45 on my Win7SP1x64 system from the US without getting any such warning message. Cheers and Regards

AH, so you want unattended but passive so you can see installation progress. I don't know, but now that's cleared up maybe someone else does. Cheers and Regards

PLEASE, delete all content from your other THREE duplicate threads and add a note to them asking a moderator to please delete your mistake. Do NOT add another post to those useless threads, just edit the existing posts, deleting the existing content and replace it with the note. Then add any other content you feel might be important to this thread. Let's keep this conversation all in one place. Thank you for your cooperation. Cheers and Regards

"unattended", but with the GUI? I'm very confused. Cheers and Regards

Don't use the software. Seriously, please read the documentation and this thread before asking that question for the umpteenth time. Cheers and Regards

In my mind, allowing the "metro" apps to be used as windowed apps on the desktop turns a lot of them into the gadgets that MS quit supporting. Oh wait. Could it possibly be that MS quit supporting gadgets to force people to have to get those same functions through the MS store? Hmmmm... Cheers and Regards

Drastic board slowdowns are becoming very frequent - for an hour or more at a time up to several times a day. Sometimes it just won't load at all. This has happened over the several days or so. The other boards I visit are not having the issue, being accessed on the same hardware and browser at the same time in different tabs, even the ones based on the same, or similar, versions of IP Board software, so it seems to be more of a server issue. It seems I am not alone in seeing this issue, but I haven't seen any comments from the staff as to the possible problem or if a solution is forthcoming. Any info anyone can share? Cheers and Regards

Antivirus software, ie your Bitdefender Internet Security. Cheers and Regards

I don't think so, but I could be wrong of course. From Charlotte's post, I think he agrees with me. Which is not to say that they didn't also make some needed changes to ie as well. Cheers and Regards

Yeah, I noticed it too. I just stayed away for awhile. Wasn't worth the hassle. Cheers and Regards

What!?! No Thanks, just complaints? Of course, that is what "replace" does. In your code there WAS only one occurrence of (+basepath+) in the value. AFAIK, replaceAll doesn't exist in JavaScript unless you write the function yourself. Outbreaker, do you do any research for yourself, or do you just blindly copy code fragments then ask others to fix it for you, and if that fails just make stuff up as you go along? Unless you know something I don't, and can prove it, then GET RID OF THIS, ie DELETE IT: //-> Body OnLoad Functionwindow.onload=function() { basepath = HtaPath.split('\\'); basepath.pop(); basepath = basepath.join('\\');}You can then change all occurrences of -- (+basepath+) -- to -- zzz --- or --- OutbreakerRules --- or --- NoHeDoesn't --- or --- AnyStringYouWant --- since it is just a placeholder. As to replacing all occurrences in a string, there are many ways to do it. Here is one. Replace: alert(cbo.value.replace("(+basepath+)",Act.CurrentDirectory),1,true); with: alert(cbo.value.split("(+basepath+)").join(Act.CurrentDirectory)); After painfully remembering previous times I tried to help you with code, I think I'm done with this for awhile. I will be very curious to see what you are able to come up with as a final solution that works for you. Good luck. Cheers and Regards
