In the meanwhile, test this link: https://www.sb-innovation.de/forum.php This one, for example, works fine for me.

At the moment. I am on Android. I will go now to my Windows XP machine to check your links. Give me some minutes!

Which version exactly of Mypal 78 are you using?

You said you disabled uBO. Really completely in the Add-ons Manager?

Another option is to create a new and therefore untouched profile for testing. And perform a reconnect to get a fresh IP.

Works perfectly on my system, and is the new solution, which has been confirmed to work.

SSUAOs are always strings. Delete cache, all related cookies and website settings. Disable temporarily uBO if you're using it. And purge also the startup cache. Finally, close Mypal completely and start it again.

Of course, you’re welcome to mention Cauldron Filthcare. This service keeps everyone away from MSFN, doesn't matter whether a malicious bot, a member or a guest. That’s the ultimate in security for a website. Here is a nice example: Cloudflare challenge loops and their solution Not available anymore! P.S.: First of all, it would rather be advisable to completely delete all bot accounts on MSFN. And there are thousands of them. They are easy to find. Then, at some point, and as a positive side effect, the MSFN statistics would once again reflect reality more accurately. This was about the bot accounts weeks ago: https://msfn.org/board/topic/187801-msfn-and-its-lack-of-search-results-in-google-bing-and-all-search-engines-depending-on-them/page/8/#findComment-1287893 But who cares anyway ...

MSFN’s gone completely haywire and is now even posting multiple times. It’s been nothing but glitches for weeks.

Good news here about Panda Dome on Windows XP! Perhaps the appeal did have some effect after all, and many users have contacted support. Whether that’s a good thing or not, this news comes too late for me as I am using now Comodo Antivirus. It has a real offline scanner with a huge definitions database contrary to Panda.

And here is a temporary polyfill for GitHub's editor issue The GitHub editor does not work in Mypal 78.0.3: // ==UserScript== // @name GitHub Editor Fix // @namespace https://msfn.org/board/profile/311648-astroskipper/ // @version 1.0 // @description Polyfills Array.prototype.toSorted for GitHub editor compatibility created by dainiusb from GitHub // @author AstroSkipper / Gemini // @match https://github.com/* // @match https://*.github.com/* // @run-at document-start // @icon https://github.githubassets.com/favicons/favicon.png // @grant none // ==/UserScript== (function() { // Polyfill Array.prototype.toSorted if missing if (!Array.prototype.toSorted) { Object.defineProperty(Array.prototype, 'toSorted', { value: function(compareFn) { return this.slice().sort(compareFn); }, writable: true, configurable: true, enumerable: false }); } })();

You can select the version of the SSUAO up to 78 at the moment. That might change in the next releases. We will see. The current discussion can be read here: Mypal 78.0.3 - Cloudflare challenge loops and their solution

The tool I have been using for decades is Norton Ghost in version 2003 for very old disks with standard MBR ( no GPT, EFI or UEFI) and a more recent version 15.0 for a bit newer disks like SSDs. This is a programme that has always allowed me to clone my computers perfectly, without anything failing or going wrong. For modern computers, you’ll probably have to resort to Acronis, Macrium or Aomei if GPT with EFI/UEFI is in use. And to clone other partitions directly from my Windows XP, I have been using an older version of DiskGenius – a very good partition manager – successfully for years.

Update notification! I have revised my article "My essential tools for solving problems in Windows XP — Part 2 — File extractors and packers". 7-Zip has been updated to the version 26.02. And some files in the package UniExtract2 2.0.0 RC 4 Nightly has been updated on 11.07.2025, too. Cheers, AstroSkipper

That’s exactly what I expected. What’s the point of AnyTech365 having friendly staff if the customer is still left in the dark? 👀

Interestingly, and as if this company had read this post, the following happened: SASDEFINITIONS.EXE 345.6 MB 07.02.2026, but then SASDEFINITIONS.EXE 229.4 MB 15.05.2026 Unfortunately, the virus definition file SASDEFINITIONS.EXE was inflated again in July 2026: SASDEFINITIONS.EXE 305.8 MB 26.07.2026 Very strange what on earth they’re up to there. My guess is that the definition files and their installer are compiled extremely sloppily.

Which version are you currently running? 22.03.05? And do they still offer a more recent one for paid customers? And what about their support? Have you got any reply that Panda Dome is working again on Windows XP? 🤔

I have no clue what you are talking about. Could you please explain a bit more detailed what you wanted to say? And what does the abbreviation SRP mean? And which gui do you refer to? 🤔🤔🤔

@GH0st So, here is a workaround. Create a SSUAO for cloudflare.com, i.e. general.useragent.override.cloudflare.com with the following user agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:68.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/68.0 Test it and report here! And if that doesn’t help, try disabling uBO completely, i.e. the extension in the Add-ons Manager, if you’re using it. An uBO set too aggressively made it impossible for me to complete the CF challenges.

Ok. Forget about this version! It still can be started under Windows XP but it no longer works properly. I reverted back to the last good one I could find. And that is Malware Hunter 1.210.0.841 (Dec 29, 2025). I will edit my article accordingly. And BTW, I said tests could be done by the users but I’ve never seen any like that.

The links are still available on Adlice servers after editing to suit the users’ needs. I do not use COMODO Internet Security but COMODO Antivirus. This works fine with no impact on CPU. And my CPU is a single-core P4. I wouldn't recommend the complete suite COMODO Internet Security, either. You must always focus on the pearls and throw the by-catch overboard.

Don’t be misled! Quoting from old, already closed and resolved at the time issues serves no purpose and is misleading. I’ve opened a new issue on GitHub today: https://github.com/Feodor2/Mypal68/issues/723 One thing is clear. If you use a browser that doesn’t support Cloudflare’s security nonsense, you won’t get very far in these days, and it’ll be useless. Indeed, Cloudflare = Cauldron Filthcare.

@VistaLover The posts about Comodo Antivirus were simply intended to inform Windows XP users that there is still a perfect alternative available. However, Comodo had not deemed it necessary to release an official, static link to the final installer for Windows XP/Vista when it discontinued support for these operating systems. Having learnt from my experience of reviving Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Free/Pro 1.75.0.1300 — regarding the updating of its definitions – I have drawn my own conclusions. I never make the same mistake twice. The Windows XP haters of this world will get no further fuel from me. I will do nothing that might prompt Comodo to pull the plug, as Malwarebytes did back then, even if my fix doesn't modify or patch any Comodo related files and only restores the state that the online update function was actually supposed to carry out. One thing is clear. A cursory search for this installer will get you presumably nowhere; you’ll need to dig a bit deeper in the case of Comodo. However, success is not guaranteed as Comodo generally replaces previous installers with more current ones. Whatever the rules may be. Very often installers are then still advertised to be compatible but they aren't any longer. If you can’t find anything, alternatively, you could make do with the installer of the previous version which is still available. The online update is not essential, as you can update Comodo's definitions offline at any time. The main programme and the VirusScope recognizer DLL files will no longer be updated online anyways, due to the change from SHA-1 to SHA-512 signature. These DLL files can only be updated manually by newer, compatible ones, if any are found, of course. I only restored the online update functionality to see, if it is possible, and due to the fact that I can do such things. It’s just the way I am. Regards, AstroSkipper

Update notification! Malware Hunter has been again updated on 20.07.2026 and is now available in version 1.219.0.863. It is still listed to be compatible with Windows XP. Accordingly, I will update my article to this version. Tests can be done by the users. Cheers, AstroSkipper

In addition to the previous article, I have updated all lists in the second, third and fourth post of this thread to the most recent facts.
