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.

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. Cheers, AstroSkipper

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:

That are my sizes of Panda Dome 22.00.00's online and offline installers:

You probably got an older installer. Download the latest one!

So my approximation equation wasn't so bad, was it?

Simply said, poor and a no-go. But Moonbat got a very good reply from Sajadi. I am sure that Moonbat would have been warned by our moderators if he had posted something like that here. I assume his comment would have been deleted immediately.

I have been using Panda Dome the last weeks and will stay with it. It works without any problems and is really lightweight. The RAM and CPU usage is very low. That's why I recommended it.

This is a very good idea! Maybe, there is more antivirus outside for all desperate Windows XP users (and I don't mean me).

You're welcome! Not only does it sound good, but it also values an actual true statement. But verifications of statements can of course always be carried out and won't harm, anyways.

We all can test a lot. But AVG 18.8 is definitely supported under Windows Vista. Following approximating equation has to be evaluated by the Boolean value of true: Avast 18.8 ≈ AVG 18.8

That's not correct, unfortunately. AVG 18.8 versions won't receive security updates anymore but definition updates. There is a significant difference. BTW, Avast and AVG are almost the same. Now one and the same company, so what applies to Avast also applies to AVG. I know both of them very well. I used them for years. That's why I didn't mention AVG here at all.

I don't think so. It should support Windoes Vista as well. Did you try to install it under Windows Vista? Anyway! Here is a quotation taken from the AVG support site: https://support.avg.com/SupportArticleView?l=en&urlName=AVG-Windows-XP-Vista-support-FAQ&supportType=home

you may revert to previous build or wait for next build @roytam1 Just a short feedback! Since your recent release of New Moon 28 (palemoon-28.10.6a1.win32-git-20230318-d849524bd-uxp-85f6a4929-xpmod.7z), I didn't observe any further crashes of mozglue.dll. Great job and thanks! Hope it will stay that way! Kind regards, AstroSkipper

@Mathwiz! Maybe, this is of interest to you: Cheers, AstroSkipper

DreamMail Pro - Update information! DreamMail Pro has been updated again and is now available in version 6.6.6.6. And like the last updates, it is still XP-compatible. Great to see ongoing development resulting in very frequent program updates! I have not been able to find a version history on their homepage. Therefore, I generated an official version history and provide it here: And here is the download link of DreamMail Pro 6.6.6.6: https://dl.cy-email.com/dm6/Download/dmpro_setup6.6.6.6.exe Cheers, AstroSkipper

OT: I am a cat lover and prefer the assumption that Schrödinger's cat is in a living state despite an existing Heisenbergian uncertainty. And, to be on topic again, all that means I prefer an antivirus program in a working state under Windows XP. Ultimately, it all depends on empirical measurement. AstroSkipper

But first it would have to be clarified whether Webroot SecureAnywhere 9.0.27.49 still receives current virus definitions at all. And how good the protection is, of course. Additionally, you also have to buy a licence as there is no free version.

Here is a screenshot taken from CAupdater after successfully updating the root certificates: Cheers, AstroSkipper

Avast v18.8 antivirus products are still getting virus definition updates. Here is a link where you can even download offline virus database updater called Avast VPS update: https://www.avast.com/download-update#pc Cheers, AstroSkipper

so it supports it but also does not support it? I'm confused then does it work on xp? Webroot SecureAnywhere 9.0.27.49 is supposed to be the last XP-compatible version according to the manufacturer. Whether the virus definitions can still be updated must of course be checked. Webroot SecureAnywhere 9.0.33.35 is supposed to be the most recent version and does not support Windows XP anymore. You need Windows 7 at least.

The file WSATemp.exe inside of this msi file from the link above is only 4,901,160 Bytes, so it must be an online installer. Its version number is 9.0.27.49 and its date of creation is 04.11.2019. The current version of Webroot SecureAnywhere seems to be 9.0.33.35, released 19.09.2022 and is no longer XP-compatible. Here is a link: https://www.webroot.com/us/en/support/support-consumer-release-notes Maybe, the last XP-compatible version 9.0.27.49 is still able to get definition updates. I can't test that. And I don't want it, either.

Webroot SecureAnywhere is definitely not a German antivirus program! No one stated that! And it doesn't matter whether it is or not. I list here all candidates which work or might work under Windows XP. And, it's up to the user to choose one or none of them. All these candidates are just suggestions. Don't forget the choice in terms of antivieus programs has become very, very limited under Windows XP!
