    As promised above, I uploaded the program CAupdater 1.0.0.1 created by @Thomas S.. It is the original archive file without any modifications and an alternative to @heinoganda's Certificate Updater. This archive can be extracted to any desired location as CAupdater is a portable application. Here is the download link: https://www.mediafire.com/file/z34fifg2a09fzxo/CAupdater.7z/file Cheers, AstroSkipper

    G Data and AVIRA are made in Germany but they don't support XP and Vista anymore in their recent versions. Most manufacturers of antivirus programs operate worldwide. The head office is in one country, with offshoots, branches and subsidiaries in many other countries. And antivirus programs often have several scan engines, which in turn are manufactured in other countries. So it's all quite confusing.

    Revo Uninstaller is a great piece of software. I use it for ages. The last XP-compatible version was Revo Uninstaller Pro 3.2.1. You could get it for free in several giveaways in the past. Use Google, and you will still find it easily! I can't link it here due to our forum rules.

    OT: I use WinHEX for ages and already recommended it here:

    Thanks for clarification! Never thought coders do need to make money ...

    Thanks for the information! I know you mentioned K7 in a previous post. Unfortunately, both suggested programs are commercial. No free versions available. Seqrite doesn't seem to support Windows XP in its new versions 8.x, only in the old ones 7.x. And I can't see any products for home users. Or did I miss anything? BTW, both, K7 and Seqrite, are totally unknown here in Germany, and presumably, in other European countries, too.

    CAupdater - An alternative Root Certificate Updater There is an alternative tool for updating Root Certificates in Windows XP. I totally forgot to mention this here as a single program. The creator was @Thomas S.. It is called CAupdater and is available in version 1.0.0.1. I use it for years, and it works great. Here is the link to its original post: It is also embedded in @Thomas S.'s HTTPSProxy package which can be downloaded in the section 11.2.1.2. Downloads related to HTTPSProxy of my main article "ProxHTTPSProxy and HTTPSProxy in Windows XP for future use". In his original post linked above, the download link of CAupdater as a single archive file doesn't work anymore. Therefore, I will provide here a download link of this single archive file as soon as possible. Cheers, AstroSkipper

    We should not forget that there is a further tool for updating Root Certificates in Windows XP. The creator was @Thomas S.. The tool is called CAupdater. Here is the link to its original post: It is also embedded in his HTTPSProxy package. In his original post, the download link of CAupdater as a single archive doesn't work anymore. BTW, both versions of my self-created Root Certificate and Revoked Certificate Updater are meant to be used in case no internet connection is available. Generally, @heinoganda's Certificate Updater 1.6 or @Thomas S.'s CAupdater is completely sufficient. All facts about Root Certificates can be read in the section 5.2 of my article "ProxHTTPSProxy and HTTPSProxy in Windows XP for future use". Greetings, AstroSkipper

    When using my Android tablet, and I use it very often (as for example in this moment), I haven't experienced such heavy CPU usage in Opera, Kiwi, Brave and Firefox, either.

    My primary browsers in Windows XP are New Moon 28 and Serpent 52/55. I use 360Chrome 13.5 only for testing purpose in my Windows XP installation. It is great to have alternatives but I prefer UXP browsers under Windows XP. I am also an Android user, and there you have a pure Chrome/Chromium world offering the most recent browsers. Or I use Windows 7/10 to surf the internet with the more/most recent Chromium browsers. But no need to do that in my beloved Windows XP system, and 360Chrome 13.5 is not recent anymore, either. When starting my Windows XP system, I dive into another world and enjoy the recreation of all this Chrome/Chromium stuff. All Chromium browsers are extremely restricted, especially in terms of extensions, custom buttons, customizations and modifications. That's one of the reasons I love and prefer my UXP browsers New Moon and Serpent. And to have them at all, I am very thankful to our creator @roytam1! Welcome back and of course, a good decision!

    In my quite clean testing profile, I opened your testing repo and performed continuously soft reload. After more than 20 times I stopped. In this profile, setting both dom.webcomponents.enabled and dom.getRootNode.enabled to the value true with Palefill 1.26 enabled works on your testing repo, i.e., GH timestamps are shown each time. In my main profile, unfortunately not as I already mentioned in a previous post.. However, these strange differences between my profiles keep bothering me. And I have to correct my statement from a previous post which I already edited. You're right, setting dom.webcomponents.enabled to false does not lead to a 100% CPU utilization on GitHub (but on VirusTotal ). The site was continously loading the assets from the not visible part down below. Scrolling down to the assets normalized the CPU usage. I didn't notice that in my first test. So theoretically, I am able to set dom.webcomponents.enabled to false, but I'll leave it at its default value. In any case, I have to test all of that over a longer period of time. Best regards

    And here is a screenshot taken from @roytam1's commits on GitHub two hours later:

    Setting the preference dom.webcomponents.enabled to the value false in New Moon 28 is no option for me, unfortunately. Due to a permanent 100% CPU utilization on VirusTotal, for example, described in a previous post of mine. Therefore, this preference will stay here to the value true as long this abnormal behaviour exists, and presumably I'll just have to do without the GH timestamps in New Moon 28. Ok. I tested this GH timestamps behaviour a bit more deeply. It looks like I won't have to give up the GH timestamps after all. I've been using the extension Lull The Tabs for a long time in all my UXP browsers. This extension seems to interfere on GitHub sites which results in lacking of GH timestamps. Only disabling this extension or excluding the website GitHub.com in Lull The Tabs'options solves the problem. Edit: But only temporarily. There are more problems in my main profile. I need to investigate this strange behaviour much deeper.

    BTW, to mention here tests of recent Bitdefender and Avast versions is absurd and not helpful at all. Both have not supported Windows XP for a long time. The last, XP-compatible version of Avast, for example, is from 2018. Anyway! This thread is about antivirus or security programs that still target the Windows XP operating system.
  18. AstroSkipper
    And to reject MWAV - eScan Antivirus Toolkit as one of the few, free, up-to-date antivirus offline scanners for Windows XP due to font preferences speaks against all reason and for itself.

    None of these negative statements here about Panda Dome can be confiirmed by me, and such kind of presenting "facts" are rather meaningless. Panda Dome has been tested many times in the past and the protection found to be good. In any case, I trust such tests much more than any "data" presented here in a highly dubious manner. Here are some links to form your own opinion: https://www.av-comparatives.org/vendors/panda/ https://www.lifewire.com/panda-free-antivirus-review-1356582 And here are the last tests of Panda by av-test.org: https://www.av-test.org/en/antivirus/home-windows/manufacturer/panda-security/ And one thing In general. A program is only as good as it is installed, configured and operated. And logically, that also depends massively on the user.

    Thanks! Of course, I could revert to a previous build, but as a Frisian I am a very patient person. I'll wait for your next releases.

    this is an old problem since feb uncovered by https://github.com/roytam1/UXP/commit/9824659d3c6b1c4fdc2616f789f0696d1cbe2ef8 and https://github.com/roytam1/UXP/commit/b7e4530861fcc971aee9d867b3b376e31263486c and they said it is fixed by https://github.com/roytam1/UXP/commit/1f0df8f421626bcbc397512773f3043d72d96a4f but I still need to revert first 2 mentioned commits in order to make it not crashing. Thanks for the information! It would be great if reverting these commits really fixes these crashes. In the meanwhile, I had a further crash in mozglue.dll.

    BTW, TUP's feature "multi-row tab bar" also works again in the latest releases of New Moon and Serpent.

    For me, as a simple, temporary workaround, eMatix is helpful. In eMatrix, I blocked 17 scripts, and the website "Microsoft .NET Framework Repair Tool is available" becomes readable again in New Moon 28. Additionally, uBlock Origin (used in normal mode) is also enabled on this site. Here is a screenshot taken from my New Moon: All is completely readable again. I don't really care which functionality is broken by blocking these scripts. The main thing is that you can read the Microsoft articles again. I reloaded this website a few times and restarted my browser. The website is rendering without any problems and looks like always (when everything was fine). The download of the Microsoft .NET Framework Repair Tool works, too. A positive side-effect is this website is now easy to load and very responsive if blocking these scripts. No negative CPU impact anymore. Hope it stays that way for a while now. Kind regards, AstroSkipper

    It definitely depends on both the email web service and the browser. GMX and WEB.DE expect the most recent browsers. Any user agent spoofing does not work anymore. Therefore, only a reduced, simplified interface with the bare essentials in Windows XP. Gmail can be used with its full interface, but is then very sluggish and cumbersome, especially on weak hardware. Fortunately, you can switch to a reduced, fast html interface. Outlook.com can also be used with its full interface, but it is very sluggish, slow and cumbersome, unfortunately.

    What a coincidence! I just had a browser crash regarding mozglue.dll in the very latest release of New Moon 28 (28.10.6a1 (32-bit) (2023-03-10)).
