    this function seems to be broken for a quite long time Was actually a total coincidence that I came across this issue. I had to create a new profile to check the other issue with the search engines. In the process, I also wanted to reconfigure the toolbars and suddenly the crash. Can this be fixed?

    I can't confirm that statement. I have just tested Panda Dome, and it checked a file that a lot of scanners think is malware. While checking it deleted that file immediately. So, no problems here. Good protection as expected. I performed a second test. I copied two malicious files and two clean files in one folder. Then I started a manual scan of this folder. Both malicious files were recognized and immediately deleted. Panda Dome works exactly as it should be. I assume something is wrong on your side.

    Excuse me, could you tell me what is the latest version compatible with XP? I understand the latest one is "PotPlayerSetup-210209.exe" downloaded from "videohelp.com" or is there a newer one. Hello @Iron_Wind0ws! The last XP-compatible version of PotPlayer or PotPlayer Portable is 1.7.21419.0 (210209). There is no newer one. Windows XP seems to have been abandoned by Daum. Greetings, AstroSkipper

    Nobody knows where a malware, virus, trojan or whatever is waiting for them. It always makes sense to build up some protection, especially in an operating system as old as Windows XP. There are only a few antivirus programs left that support Windows XP. Therefore, such a thread here is of particular importance. At least, in my opinion. That's why I share my knowledge and experiences here.

    That's why I always make images of my system partitions to get back easily in a previous, correctly working state.

    My recommendation of the eicar test files was just what is well-known and easy to apply. To be honest, I usually do not test my antivirus programs. Only if something bad happens, or I have the impression that it is not working properly. The official test which are performed on a regular base are sufficient for me. Sometimes, you have to try a little trust to organisations like av-test.org or other institutes which do such tests for years or decades.

    In KM76.4.7-Goanna-20230325, there is another issue, even in a new, clean profile. Right-clicking on a toolbar, then pointing with the mouse to the entry Toolbars, and finally clicking onto the entry Options leads immediately to a browser crash. Here are two screenshots:

    This issue seems to happen with old profiles. In a clean, new profile, this issue doesn't occur. Just tested! Anyway! Not so great! Any ideas to continue using old profile?
  10. AstroSkipper
    Confirmed! Same problem here with the most recent version KM76.4.7-Goanna-20230325.

    No problems here with these links in Serpent 52! No timeout, the HTTPS-links on this site can be opened and work as they should.

    It has been a very long time ago since my last post on forum.palemoon.org. The last years, I used this forum to find solutions for problems with addons or websites and still do so. So just in a searching and reading mode.
  13. AstroSkipper
    You can download so called eicar test files to test antivirus programs. Use Google and you will find them!

    I didn't find any offline installer. Any link to a working, full offline installer? The name, size or date of this installer would be helpful, too.

    The online installer Antivirus_Free_Edition_x86.exe for version 1.0.21.1109 doesn't work anymore. And there is no offline installer. So, no installation of this version in Windows XP possible anymore. Unless you still have the original installation files which were downloaded by the online installer during installation. But presumably, that won't help either. I think the installer has to download the necessary files itself to continue and finish the installation.

    When I used this online installer last month, it downloaded an offline installer which ended in the version 22.00.00. Due to the forum rules, I am not allowed to provide a download link of my installer. But using Google leads very easy to an offline installer of 22.00.00. Maybe, Panda don't offer it anymore officially or only in Germany. I don't know. Use Google, enter "freeav.exe"22.00.00 and the second entry looks promising! I love crocodiles.

    I used Malwarebytes Anti-Malware 2.2.1.1043 for a long time instead of Malwarebytes Premium for Windows 3.5.1.2522. It worked without any problems but as we all know this version has not received definition updates for a long time now. That's why I uninstalled completely months ago.
  18. AstroSkipper
    BTW, all about Malwarebytes was already discussed in this thread, too. More than once! For example here: Cheers, AstroSkipper

    Here is the original, still working download link of Malwarebytes Premium for Windows 3.5.1.2522: https://data-cdn.mbamupdates.com/web/mb3-setup-legacy/mb3-setup-legacywos-3.5.1.2522-1.0.365-1.0.5292.exe Malwarebytes Premium for Windows 3.5.1.2522 is the last XP-compatible version but I had problems to install it in my system as many others too. This is a pity as I have a lifetime premium license. Have a look into Malwarebytes's forum and you will see! Even their support could not help me in the end! I had these problems at that time when Avast was my antivirus program under Windows XP. As you know, I already uninstalled it, deleted all remnants of Avast and cleaned my system partition completely. Maybe, I'll give Malwarebytes Premium for Windows 3.5.1.2522 another try one day.

    ClamWin was already discussed here: The main problem is ClamWin does not have an own background guard and its detection rate is not that good.

    Here is the original, still working download link of Malwarebytes Premium for Windows 3.5.1.2522: https://data-cdn.mbamupdates.com/web/mb3-setup-legacy/mb3-setup-legacywos-3.5.1.2522-1.0.365-1.0.5292.exe Malwarebytes Premium for Windows 3.5.1.2522 is the last XP-compatible version but I had problems to install it in my system as many others too.

    This announcement at the time was intended for existing business customers who still used Bitdefender on legacy operating systems. Bitdefender Free Antivirus under Windows XP was abandonded years before.

    thanks for the download link @AstroSkipper! You're welcome! I did a deeper research in terms of Comodo Antivirus under Windows XP one month ago.
  24. AstroSkipper
    The last error-free, XP-compatible version is Comodo Antivirus 12.0.0.6818. The very last version targeting Windows XP seems to be Comodo Antivirus 12.2.2.8012, but it is reported to have some bugs in Windows XP. To be honest, I personally never liked Comodo Antivirus. Here is a download link of Comodo Antivirus 12.0.0.6818: https://web.archive.org/web/20190502052352/http://cdn.download.comodo.com/cis/download/installs/1000/standalone/cispremium_only_installer.exe It's an old installer, so it is only available by using the Wayback Machine.

    Here is the download link of the online installer which automatically downloads Panda Dome 22.00.00 offline installer with the size of 3,142,712 bytes here in Germany: https://repository.pandasecurity.com/Panda/FREEAV/193309/PANDAFREEAV.exe @VistaLover and me were offered different sizes of these installers. Maybe, due to our different locations, servers or whatever. All of that was already discussed in this post and the followings:
