Here is a short report on the Panda Dome version 20.02.01 currently installed on my computer. This version runs very well under Windows XP without any performance problems. This Panda Dome version also does not significantly delay Windows startup. It only takes approx. 2 min. This is a good value for my old box. However, I have not yet been able to solve one problem. The application background remains green. No images can be loaded. Although it's not important, I don't understand why this is the case. Here is a screenshot of this issue and one taken from the settings where the image can be selected: This issue has been the case in all versions of Panda Dome (18.07.04, 20.02.01, 21.01.00, 22.00.00, 22.02.01 and 22.03.05) installed on my Windows XP partition with all POSReady updates. This issue doesn't exist on my Windows XP partition without POSReady updates.

As far as I noticed, Panda seems to automatically update the programme only if it is too old. The version 21.01.00 wasn't updated on my system. OTH, the version 18.07.04 was updated to 20.02.01 which, however, isn't the most recent.

Just running the proxy in the background doesn't mean it is also used by a programme. What I meant is whether you're running ProxHTTPSProxy system-wide or not. In any case, Panda Dome has to use the proxy. Thats why I had to configure Panda Dome to use it, however, for activation only.
-
I asked that as the most recent version of Panda Dome is actually 23.00.00.
-
Are you running ProxHTTPSProxy in the background by default? And if so, in which mode? I had to configure Panda Dome to use the proxy. Which version is your Panda Dome Essential of?
-
Of course, I know. Did you also have to use ProxHTTPSProxy for the activation of Panda Dome?

I think for a free version Panda Dome is ok. If it is running correctly, the impact is low on RAM and CPU compared with Avast or other security suites in the past. And once again, it is free of charge in the basic version. BTW, I do not need a firewall or VPN. I have already been using the best firewall, Windows 10 Firewall Control Plus XP. And I have several paid VPN services.

I have already provided a solution to activate Panda Dome under Windows XP. Read this post: and this one:

This one I installed years ago when it was released. But I don't think that other Visual C++ versions are responsible for the issues I noticed regarding Panda Dome under Windows XP. In the meanwhile, I have updated Visual C++ 2010 to version 10.0.40219.473 but the issue is still there. Additionally, I repaired my Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0 installation as there was indeed a problem. But even this doesn't seem to have any effect on my issue.

First of all, thanks for uploading the files! I was surprised to learn that there is supposed to be a .NET Framework version 4.0.30320 for Windows XP. I couldn't find anything about it in any official source. In any case, your installer "Microsoft .NET 4.0.30320 Full" is the same one I have, and it has the number 4.0.30319.1. Presumably, at least for Windows XP, there is no version 4.0.30320. You can find out your current version installed with the following command: reg query "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v4\Full" /v Version Although it is actually Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0.30319, I have nevertheless found a reference to version 4.0.30320 in Windows XP. Apparently, the Client Profile and the Extended are assigned exactly this version number:

Thanks for the links!

I will try later. In any case, thanks again!
-
I am very interested in both since I have none of them. Can you upload them in any way?
-
My .NET Framework 4 is version 4.0.30319. Where does yours come from? Do you have a link or the installation file?
-
Do you really mean KB2890375 and not KB2890573? The latter is already in my archive and can still be downloaded. It is of version 10.0.40219.457.
-
@Dave-H What are the version numbers of your latest Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable and Microsoft .NET Framework 4 installations? I assume I might have a problem there.
-
Thanks for posting a screenshot! And that definitely means that there is some kind of problem in my POSReady partition. But at the moment I don't have any clue what kind it is.

Today, Panda Dome 18.07.04 has been automatically updated to version 20.02.01 on my Windows XP partition. At the moment, no significant delay when starting the computer. So, you have installed Panda Dome, too. How does your main interface look like? Can you post a screenshot? On my POSReady partition, no interface background images are shown, quite unlike my partition without POSReady updates. I think that there is some kind of problem in my POSReady partition.

Tha's why I suggested to try first version 15.0.0. If this version doesnt work either, you can forget about the 15 version series and try the 14 one.
-
I assume that the ransomware protection won't work in any RogueKiller version under Windows XP. Same as it was in Malwarebytes Premium 3.5.1.
-
Here is a short interim report. Panda Antivirus Free 18.07.04 was also installed without any problems and has been running flawlessly so far. Let's see how long that lasts.
-
I prefer the principle of interval nesting when testing programme versions for compatibility.
-
Try the first 15 version installer version that was 15.0.0! If it works, try a more recent. If not. try the latest 14 version that was 14.8.6. If this doesn't work either, try the first 14 version installer version that was 14.0.0.16. I wouldn't go any deeper. In any case, this is an issue they fixed in several versions. Check their changelog!
-
What is much worse is that an existing installation is rendered unusable by updating the signatures. That is an outrage.

When I checked the Adlice homepage via the Wayback Machine, I noticed they started in 2025 to announce compatibility notes with Windows 7 as minimum requirements. All the years before, there were no such notes on their homepage. Therefore, I think the 15.x.x.x versions should still be compatible with Windows XP. But trial and error is the best way. I would start with version 15.19.2 which is the latest 15 version. We will see what they are inclined to respond to my request.
