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.

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.

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

It seems so. I've never had a scenario like this before. But one thing is clear. Panda must have used the proxy connection. No chance without it.
-
when you were running the proxy system-wide in the background. Right? On both of my Windows XP partitions, Panda Dome was definitively not able to activate the account without ProxHTTPSProxy. Neither for version 21.01.00, 20.02.01 nor 18.07.04.
-
You must have misunderstood something. Panda only needs ProxHTTPSProxy to activate the Panda account. After that, the proxy settings in Panda can be deleted and the proxy closed.
-
Here is a quotation from my main article: And I should add that it is very important to delete all dummy cerificates in the Certs folder when the cacert.pem file has been updated. And you won't lose anything. The dummy certificates will be generated the next time when connecting to servers. BTW, you are using the proxy system-wide. That was what I asked you in an earlier post. I personally do not.
-
@Dave-H Do you regularly maintain your proxy? For ProxHTTPSProxy to function properly, it must be maintained. From time to time, the Certs folder must be emptied, and the cacert.pem file must be updated. Only then will it function properly and can connect to the Panda servers. Then you will finally see the connections established to their servers.
-
I can't confirm this statement. When I installed Panda Dome 21.01.00, I was only able to activate the Panda account with the help of ProxHTTPSProxy, using the necessary proxy settings in Panda. Connections to Panda's servers were immediately visible in the proxy console.
-
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.
-
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!
-
The interface can't load their background images. Today, I have replaced the version 20.02.01 by 21.01.00 for better comparison with Panda Dome 21.01.00 on my other Windows XP partition. In the latter, Panda Dome 21.01.00 runs fine. Unfortunately, I also had other issues with the version 21.01.00 I already posted here. I really hope that these hourly service restarts won't happen again.
-
Thank you very much for the new screenshots! Now, I can see all your 90 entries in terms of Microsoft .NET Framework 4. Hope it will help me to find more missing updates for fixing Panda Dome.

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.
-
@Dave-H Thanks for your screenshots! They are much better. But to get all entries in terms of Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0, you have to enter the string ".NET Framework 4" into the search form since there are entries for the main installers, security updates and normal updates. With my search string ".NET Framework 4", you get all of them. Additionally, the number of all entries found will be shown (very important for quick comparison). And using small icons reduces the height of the lines which means less pages. All can be done even in the free version. If doing a repair or reinstallation, the current date and time will be assigned to all processed entries.

I always post on-topic. You should actually know that. And Panda Dome needs Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0 to run at all under Windows XP. My issues could be related to that. So, I need this information to fix issues with my Panda Dome installation. And I had several issues with this anti-malware programme. Thanks for your screenshot but unfortunately, it is not really helpful since there is no complete list of all updates. I need only detailed information about Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0 in terms of Panda Dome. So what could be more on-topic than that? In my thread, all things related to security programmes under Windows XP are definitely on-topic. I am always happy to help others, but now I need some help in the form of detailed information. Strictly according to the principle: manus manum lavat.

@Dave-H Have you installed Revo Uninstaller (Pro) on your Winows XP partition? If so, can you post screenshots of all Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0 updates for comparison taken from Revo Uninstaller? Inside its settings, you can enable to show all system updates. To list all updates, you can enter in the search form the string ".NET Framework 4" I have already repaired my Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0 installation and installed some old updates (before POSReady) which, strangely enough, have somehow disappeared. Here are mine:
-
In my main article about Panda Dome, I posted download links to get the most recent installer. Even a link to a legacy installer.

Here is a short report on the Panda Dome version 20.02.01 currently installed on my computer. This version runs very well under Windows XP without any performance problems. This Panda Dome version also does not significantly delay Windows startup. It only takes approx. 2 min. This is a good value for my old box. However, I have not yet been able to solve one problem. The application background remains green. No images can be loaded. Although it's not important, I don't understand why this is the case. Here is a screenshot of this issue and one taken from the settings where the image can be selected: This issue has been the case in all versions of Panda Dome (18.07.04, 20.02.01, 21.01.00, 22.00.00, 22.02.01 and 22.03.05) installed on my Windows XP partition with all POSReady updates. This issue doesn't exist on my Windows XP partition without POSReady updates.

As far as I noticed, Panda seems to automatically update the programme only if it is too old. The version 21.01.00 wasn't updated on my system. OTH, the version 18.07.04 was updated to 20.02.01 which, however, isn't the most recent.
-
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 asked that as the most recent version of Panda Dome is actually 23.00.00.
-
Are you running ProxHTTPSProxy in the background by default? And if so, in which mode? I had to configure Panda Dome to use the proxy. Which version is your Panda Dome Essential of?
-
Of course, I know. Did you also have to use ProxHTTPSProxy for the activation of Panda Dome?
