    Yes, try WiseVector StopX! Read this: BTW, it's free of charge.

    As I already mentioned, this is a question you should ask the support team at K7 Computing. I think you won't find a solution here. Only a very few people presumably use this security software. And if there are no remnants of previous security programs in your system, then your installation of Windows XP lacks of necessary components. Check the system requirements of K7 Ultimate Security! Or contact the support of K7 Computing directly! PS: And if nothing helps, then you should forget about this peace of software.

    Firstly, this is a question you should ask the support team at K7 Computing. Actually, it is the wrong place here. Secondly, I assume there are remnants of previous security programs in your system which have to be removed first. I had such problems more often with other AV programmes a long time ago.

    By using these proxies nothing will be bricked. ProxyMII is fully portable, and my program package is almost portable. All is definitely reversible. It won't harm your OS.

    @tinspin! Did you read the first post of this thread? There, you'll find all technical information with regards to the TLS proxies and especially ProxHTTPSProxy. Link: Cheers, AstroSkipper

    Which installation? What pipes do you mean? Your questions are totally unclear. Maybe, you try the pure proxy ProxyMII first to see whether the proxy itself works under Windows 7.Here is the link to @cmalex's original ProxyMII: https://mega.nz/folder/68dj2YTY#As2w31IO4Smr7gy6p1ciSg And, to answer your question I do not have any plans to port my package to Windows 7 at the moment. Everything I do here targets basically the Windows XP operating system. All my further decisions and next steps will depend on the interest and feedback of the users, simply put....

    Hello @tinspin! I did not test my program package ProxHTTPSProxy's PopMenu TLS 1.3 3V3 on Windows 7. It was successfully tested on Windows XP 32 and 64 Bit, but I can't see any reasons why the proxy itself shouldn't also run under Windows 7. The commands to show or change the system's proxy status will not work, though. They are compatible with Windows XP and below. Read my documentation, check the stated system requirements, and try it out! And please, report back here! Here is the link: Cheers, AstroSkipper

    It's really a strange, "funny" issue. If I turn the website style off and then on again, the fields for the login are visible again. Therefore, with switching the website style I finally could log into my account. I wonder seriously what's going on there. In the past, I never had such problems.

    Hello @mina7601! No problem! Personal matters always have the highest priority. Wish you the very best! Kind regards, AstroSkipper

    The login to the website https://outlook.live.com/ (formerly Hotmail) doesn't work anymore in New Moon 28 (2022-09-29). Tested with a clean profile, too. Here is a screenshot: I don't know how long this problem has existed. Haven't logged in there for a while.

    uBlock Origin uBlock Origin (uBO) is not an "ad blocker", it's a wide-spectrum content blocker with CPU and memory efficiency as a primary feature. Out of the box, uBO blocks ads, trackers, coin miners, popups, etc. through the following lists of filters, enabled by default: EasyList (ads) EasyPrivacy (tracking) Peter Lowe’s Ad server list (ads and tracking) Online Malicious URL Blocklist uBO's own lists More lists are available for you to select if you wish: EasyList Cookie Fanboy Annoyances AdGuard Annoyances Dan Pollock’s hosts file And many others Additionally, you can point-and-click to block JavaScript locally or globally, create your own global or local rules to override entries from filter lists, and many more advanced features. uBlock Origin is and was my favourite content blocker. But, to get the more recent versions running in Mypal 68, you have to set the variable dom.moduleScripts.enabled to the default value of true. If not, it will break the gui of uBO. Tested version: 1.46 Here is uBO's wiki: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki And the following link opens a short guide: https://www.online-tech-tips.com/software-reviews/ublock-origin-the-ultimate-review-and-guide/ Download link: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ublock-origin/

    News about uBlock Origin Legacy! Since version New Moon 28 (2022-09-29), neither a CSS fix nor the setting of uiStyles from unset to font-family: sans-serif is needed anymore. Big thanks to @roytam1! To accelerate the updating of the filter lists and fix the eternal waiting for update end, you can now download the version uBlock Origin Legacy 1.16.4.31b2, only modified in terms of the filter lists, from the previous post. And, don't forget to remove all remnants of uBlock in your profile folder before installing my mod, as already described above! Cheers, AstroSkipper

    Thanks for the hint! Never heard of it! I'll have a look at this tool at the next opportunity. Cheers, AstroSkipper

    I've got a licence of Malwarebytes for nearly 11 years. I loved Malwarebytes Anti-Malware 1.75 as an on-demand scanner. My licence is also valid for Malwarebytes Premium 3.5.1.2522, the last version for Windows XP. Unfortunately, I couldn't get this version running at all. It crashed and had problems in loading its components. This was a known issue and also discussed in Malwarebytes Forum. In the end, their experts couldn't provide a solution to fix this issue, though. I had several trials installing Malwarebytes Premium 3.5.1.2522 on different Windows XP partitions without any real success. At that time, I was very disappointed with Malwarebytes which always claims to be compatible with all programs. Anyway, I gave up on this version. Therefore, I use Malwarebytes Anti-Malware 2.2.1.1043, which works properly on Windows XP, but only as an on-demand scanner. In my opinion, Malwarebytes is not a full replacement for an AV program as, for example, Avast. But, as an on-demand scanner, to get a second opinion, it's useful although the old Malwarebytes Anti-Malware 1.75, which is no longer supported, was less bloated and much faster.

    Very strange! I use avast! Premier Edition for more than 10 years and never observed such problems. No issues with YouTube, no errors in loading the Avast user interface, i.e. the Avast service. Maybe, your system lacks of some components which Avast needs to run properly. Or, Avast became faulty while installing, caused by another program which was interfering the installation. Did you use an offline installer? As far as I can remember (it's more than 10 years ago!), I had difficulties using the online installer. And, you have to configure Avast properly and carefully after installation. Anyway, I can confirm that Avast has been running perfectly under Windows XP for more than 10 years now. I disabled its firewall component to get it running in combination with Windows 10 Firewall Control Plus XP, my favourite firewall for Windows XP. The latest and last version in my system is avast! Premier Edition 18.8.4084.409 (18.8.2356.0). And if you had already installed Avast in the past, you should first use the avast! Uninstall Utility 18.8.4084.0, whose executable is avastclear.exe, in Safe Mode, of course, to get rid of all remnants of previous installations. Cheers, AstroSkipper

    In my search for a replacement for ESET NOD32 Antivirus on my second XP partition, I also came across WiseVector StopX 3.07. Although I have considerable reservations about Chinese software in principle, I did some research on the Internet. The result of my research was very promising. I read many positive reviews and tests. Since Windows XP still seems to be quite common in China, I fear that one will not be able to do without software from this country altogether if one wants to continue using Windows XP. Not to be biased, I gave WiseVector StopX a chance in my system. I have deactivated its firewall component and it runs in combination with Windows 10 Firewall Control XP. After my first experience with this AV solution, I am really impressed. It runs much smoother than ESET NOD32 Antivirus, and it's free of charge. More impressions coming soon! Cheers, AstroSkipper

    If Avast has been really swallowed up by Norton, then this means the soon end of any support for old Avast products. Norton was quite fast out of the AV business when official support of Windows XP was abandoned by Microsoft, so I fear bad things for the XP fan community. Besides, I never liked Norton AV products for Windows XP.
  19. AstroSkipper
    Maybe, it depends on the OS which is used. But, I don't think so. It is more likely that ESET abandoned updating virus databases on all editions up to and including version 9. That's the way ESET usually behaves.

    Windows is basically able to switch summer and winter time by itself automatically. The user do not have to do that manually. This works with most applications except 360Chrome which has obviously a DST problem in Windows XP.
  21. AstroSkipper
    No problem! My Avast Premier is still working, and that's much more important. It was amazing how long ESET kept updating the virus database. I thought they would stop updating much earlier.

    @VistaLover! The prevoius post was not meant to be funny, and there is and was no dose of sarcasm. I have the greatest respect for you and always enjoy the detailed analyses you disseminate here. And, you actually should know that, hopefully! When I wrote about Advanced Chrome, I did not find information about the special XP compatible version 54 on its homepage anymore. Therefore, I searched in our forum and saw the string Chrome 49/52/54. It was my mistake not reading deeply your comment, which means I misread your statement. And, as I already stated, my next mistake was not using the Wayback Machine. Anyway, I have the greatest respect for you, appreciate your expertises and knowledge, which is rather rare in this forum. I am beginning to fear you have somehow totally misunderstood my comment. My conclusion: Either my English was not good enough, causing you to totally misunderstand me, or you read my comment with a misguided intention. Anyway, we are all human and subject to an age-old rule, which is: Errare humanum est. The old Romans were wise and already knew that! By the way, I am also well over 50 and know very well the problem with age-related memory. Kindest regards, AstroSkipper

    I have two partitions with Windows XP Professional SP3 installed, both fully updated, the first with and the second without all POSReady updates. On the first one, I use Avast Premier for at least 10 years and it's simply great although a bit too bloated. The Avast Free Edition lacked of some important features and therefore, I chose the Avast Premier Edition. On the second XP partition, I used ESET NOD32 Antivirus as an alternative for a long time. It was satisfactory, too, but from the very first it had the problem of not being able to be uninstalled properly. Now, I've uninstalled it and going to try a new alternative. In any case, an AV based on virus definitions, which has to be downloaded by the program, must be updated regularly. If not, it is useless for me and reached its end of "life". Cheers, AstroSkipper

    Update notification! The Root Certificates have been updated and are now from 27-09-2022. Here is a screenshot: Cheers, AstroSkipper

    Unfortunately, I have to confirm your observation. ESET NOD32 Antivirus 9 can't update its virus definitions anymore. And, that's definitely the end for ESET on my computers. Due to this fact, I uninstalled it completely which is not as easy as it is for other AVs. As expected, it was impossible to remove ESET NOD32 Antivirus 9 via its uninstaller under the System Panel -> Software. Same problem if applying its entry in the Start Menu. Such experiences, I had made a lot with ESET in the past. Here are the steps how to uninstall ESET NOD32 Antivirus 9 completely in Windows XP: Download ESETUninstaller 7.0.7.0 (legacy version): https://help.eset.com/eset_tools/ESETUninstaller_7.0.7.0.exe Restart your computer in Safe Mode. Execute ESETUninstaller_7.0.7.0.exe. Read carefully the instructions and options in the cmd window. When finished, restart your computer. You can only uninstall ESET NOD32 Antivirus 9 in Safe Mode. Here is a link with a more detailed instruction for different Windows versions provided by ESET: https://support.eset.com/en/kb2289-uninstall-eset-manually-using-the-eset-uninstaller-tool Rest in peace, ESET!
