What happening with CLOUDFLARE checking? I can not get into tabletki.ua or other sites protected with cloudflare. I tried New Moon and Serpent - infinite checking on cloudflare. What's going on?
Sites protected with cloudflare works on Firefox for Android.
This site works in New Moon 28 (2024-02-24) 32-bit. No problems here. Here are some screenshots taken from New Moon 28:

I don't like to change the browser version often because sometimes something else works badly e.g. CPU Fan works longer or the browser closes at an unexpected moment without error.
Is this version Serpent 52 (2024-02-24) stable?
Of course! I always use the most recent version of New Moon 28 and Serpent 52 unless a serious issue has been reported. But TBH, you can go back to previous releases at any time. So, no risk. You can only win.

How to fix this in v52.9.0 (2023-10-19) (64-bit) ?
Try the most recent version of Serpent 52 (2024-02-24) using a fresh profile! If the 64-bit version still shows the issue, try the 32-bit version where GitHub's search function works in any case!

Is there any progress in fixing the broken MSFN post editor?
For months, editing/updating of old posts is definitely a game of chance and in certain cases rather a torture. 
At this point, I should mention that I have a lot of posts which have to be updated on a regular base. Thus, I am particularly affected.

RogueKiller Anti-Malware
RogueKiller is an antimalware programme by Adlice Software, headquartered in France, for advanced users capable of removing stubborn malware based on a list of signatures and heuristic analysis. A command line version is also available. It is thus able to detect and remove a broad range of known and unknown malware. Its capabilities make it an outstanding tool to eliminate the most resistant infections, like rootkits. Therefore, using RogueKiller is particularly recommended for malware removal, but it can also be used to ensure the operating system's integrity. Indeed, no risk of conflict with an existing antivirus is to be expected. RogueKiller Anti-Malware comes in three versions, Free, Premium and Technician. The Premium and the Technician editions are commercial. RogueKiller Anti-Malware is fully compatible with Windows XP.
Features:- Kills malicious programs and services.
- Drops malicious DLLs from running processes.
- Detects and kills hidden malicious programs.

It can be used in the free version as an offline scanner and threats removal tool in addition to an already existing antimalware programme with real-time protection. If wanted, even in portable mode. Absolutely great is that it is still XP-compatible and updated on a regular base. Furthermore, the paid premium version is a real antimalware programme with real-time and ransomware protection.
Greetings from Germany, AstroSkipper
Update notification!
That's simply great. Just posted I can already announce an update. RogueKiller Anti-Malware has been updated to version 15.15.3 on 11.03.2024. Therefore, I've updated my new article. and my list. So, my statement that this programme is updated on a regular base seems to be correct.

Same here on the latest New Moon.
Well, at least the scrollbar at the very bottom works to display the rest of the code.
But I hope for you that this can be fixed.
In the meantime, click on the 'Raw' button and there will be no scrollbar.
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ntvmb/wxp-installer-for-winpe/main/INSTALL.BAT
Thanks!
However, it was @reboot12 who originally posted this issue. So, we mainly hope for him that this can be fixed. 
I personally think it is a minor issue which doesn't occur when the window is in full size. I wouldn't have even noticed this issue if it hadn't been reported here. Presumably, this issue is CSS related. But just a guess.

yeah I got no error there
Just for testing purpose, I reinstalled the old uBlock Origin 1.16.4.30 version in MailNews. On the Settings tab, I get the "details is null" error caused by the settings.js file, on the Filter lists tab the "listDetails is null" error caused by the 3p-filters.js file and on the My filters tab the "details is null" error caused by the 1p-filters.js file.
To reproduce these errors you have to call up each of these tabs and simply reload them via the context menu (right click everywhere on the corresponding site).

if ublock doesn't error out, then it can not able to debug easily.
Okay! But what do you think about the corresponding error message "Error: TypeError: details is null" on the affected setting pages of uBlock Origin?
Isn't that an error out by uBO? The variable details belongs to a function on uBO's JavaScript file settings.js.

CurrPorts
With the analysis tool CurrPorts from NirSoft, you can display all occupied ports for TCP/IP and UDP on your computer. The tool lists each process with open ports and extensive information such as local and external addresses of a program connected to the internet or a network. If desired, the tool creates a clear TXT, HTML or XML document from this. Even after so many years and updates, CurrPorts is still compatible with Windows XP, like most programs from NirSoft portable and of course free of charge. All further information can be found on the CurrPorts homepage.
Quotation from their homepage:Homepage: https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/cports.html
Version number: 2.75
Date of release: 05.06.2023
System requirements:
Windows NT
Windows 2000
Windows XP
Windows Server 2003
Windows Server 2008
Windows Vista
Windows 7
Windows 8
Windows 10
Version history:Review: https://www.ghacks.net/2019/08/02/blast-from-the-past-nirsofts-currports/
Download links:
32-Bit version: https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/cports.zip
64-Bit version: https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/cports-x64.zip
CurrPorts is also available in other languages which can be downloaded from their homepage.
Screenshots:
And here is a screenshot when opening MSFN website with New Moon 28:
I love all the tools from NirSoft. CurrPorts is one of them. Knowing exactly which program uses which port and connects to where is very important and can play a crucial role in terms of system security. In my opinion, you simply have to have this program, especially just in case.
Cheers, AstroSkipper
Update notification!
CurrPorts has been updated on 13.12.2023 and is now available in version 2.77. It is still listed to be compatible with Windows XP. Accordingly, I'll update my article as soon as possible.
Cheers, AstroSkipper
PS: My article about CurrPorts can't be updated at the moment due to the broken MSFN post editor. Maybe, one day when it has been fixed.

Even the most recent version of Panda Free Antivirus is still compatible with Windows XP (SP3 32 bit editions only).
Features:- Antivirus Protection - Real-time protection against all types of malware and spyware. Schedule periodic scans and/or scan your computer on demand.
- USB protection - Protect your PC by preventing the automatic execution of malware from USB drives. Scan all USB drives upon insertion.
- Panda rescue kit - Free PC recovery system. Run an advanced scan of your PC or create a rescue USB drive to boot and clean those infected computers that won’t even start.
- Multimedia/Game mode - This mode ensures you play or watch multimedia content without disturbance from your antivirus while remaining completely secure.

Version number: 22.02.00
Date of release: 31.10.2023
Previous versions:- 22.00.01 released on 01.04.2023

System requirements:
Compatible with: Windows 10, Windows 8/8.1, Windows 7, Windows Vista, and Windows XP (SP3 or higher, 32 bit only).
Compatibility with Windows XP 64 bit:
As already confirmed by @WSC4 and @UCyborg, Panda Free Antivirus is unfortunately not fully compatible with Windows XP 64 bit editions. The installer doesn't seem to detect the already existing .NET Framework 4 installation. A .NET Framework reinstallation via the installer also fails. If you still want to use Panda Free Antivirus under Windows XP 64 bit, you need to make some changes for the installer to work properly, which @UCyborg has found out and described here:

Whether Panda Free Antivirus will run stably under Windows XP 64 bit is currently unclear and has to be confirmed yet. In any case, everything is without guarantee and at your own responsibility.

Panda Free Antivirus is based on new cloud computing concept in which services are provided over Internet. This new antivirus scans files through Internet which makes it very light on system resources. It also doesn’t need regular updating of virus definitions as it automatically updates the virus definitions in the cloud (remote server) and scans files using those latest virus definitions. The user should have a good speed Internet connection to fully utilize this new cloud based antivirus otherwise it won’t work. No problem if the user is offline, it’ll still protect the system from virus attack as it stores the virus definitions in local cache as well. The system load of Panda Free Antivirus is very low (lower than it was for example with WiseVector StopX), and the detection rate is supposed to be very good according to my research. I used it for a while, and it is definitely an option for Windows XP.
Cheers, AstroSkipper
Update notification!
Panda Free Antivirus has been updated on 27.12.2023 and is now of version 22.02.01. Thus, I'll update my article and my list in terms of Panda Free Antivirus.
Maybe. one of you can test the new version first of all under Windows XP SP3 32 bit to be sure it is still compatible as advertised here: https://www.pandasecurity.com/en/homeusers/windows-antivirus/
This is a quotation from this website:QuoteCompatible with: Windows 11, Windows 10, Windows 8/8.1, Windows 7, Windows Vista, and Windows XP (SP3 or higher)
And again, such a confirmation would be great as we all already know, the proof is in the pudding.
Cheers, AstroSkipper

Panda Free Antivirus brokes in the install
Which version do you refer to? And don't forget this thread is about security programmes under Windows XP only. The last time, when I installed Panda Free Antivirus under Windows XP 32-bit, all was fine. No problems at all.

so what is your current antivirus programm
On one XP partition, I am using Malwarebytes Premium 3.5.1.2522, and on the other one, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Pro 1.75.0.1300 due to the lifetime license I own for many years.
If I didn’t have this lifetime license and preferred a free antimalware programme, I would choose Panda Free Antivirus on Windows XP.

no i intall them find the problem and unistall them
That's very wise. Some combinations of these programmes are possible but more than one real-time scanner can cause problems as you surely know.

Here is what I already stated about AVG AntiVirus Free months ago::
On 9/17/2023 at 5:03 PM, AstroSkipper said:The research for this article was hell.
Useful information about AVG Antivirus Free 18.8.4084.0 was almost impossible to find. The support (Avast) only points to their own Avast products.
If someone is looking for support for AVG Antivirus Free 18.8.4084.0, he can expect something. And I don't mean anything good by that. Personally, I will think three times from now on whether I write anything about AVG again.
My advice: Forget about AVG!

@shelby Just a question. Do you use all these security programmes at once, i.e. in the same XP partition?

The last months, any editing of especially older posts is a pure game of chance.

It may well be. But it's working now. However, joy looks different.
