ProxHTTPSProxy and HTTPSProxy in Windows XP for future use
AstroSkipper replied to AstroSkipper's topic in Windows XP
Try ProxHTTPSProxyMII 1.3a! It is an old version created by the original developer. Here is a download link: http://www.proxfilter.net/proxhttpsproxy/ProxHTTPSProxyMII 1.3a.zip Or ProxHTTPSProxyMII 1.5. Download link: http://jjoe.proxfilter.net/ProxHTTPSProxyMII/files/ProxHTTPSProxyMII 1.5 advanced 34cx_freeze5.0.1urllib3v1.22Win32OpenSSL_Light-1_0_2o-1_1_0h.zip AFAIK, both versions were built with Python 3.4. More can be read in my main article. There are further links for information. BTW, these versions are pure proxies without the PopMenu and my self-created programmes. They are original releases from their developers. -
ProxHTTPSProxy and HTTPSProxy in Windows XP for future use
AstroSkipper replied to AstroSkipper's topic in Windows XP
Maybe, an old SSL Proxy could help. Or a very old version of ProxHTTPSProxy where SSL3 is not disabled. Just ideas. As far as I know, OpenSSL supports SSLv3, at least in older versions. -
Would be great if you saved it in the past. FileHippo has become bad the last years. It was great but now it is crap. The file is only a linker (1.6MB) and no offline installer. From FileHippo one can't get any meaningful these days.
-
But that doesn't exactly inspire confidence.
-
Actually, I am quite good in finding old installers. But one of them I can't find, even via Wayback Machine. It is the offline installer of Comodo Internet Security Premium 10.1. This is the free version of CIS. Does anyone have that file saved on their disk? Or a working download link? The exact version may be 10.1.0.6474 or 10.1.0.6476. The file size is round about 67MB. The original file name was as usual cispremium_only_installer.exe. Online installers for these versions can be found easily but do not work anymore.

Thanks for your suggestion! What do you exactly mean by "it was a little capricious under XP"?

ProxHTTPSProxy and HTTPSProxy in Windows XP for future use
AstroSkipper replied to AstroSkipper's topic in Windows XP
SSL3 is a very old protocol and actually abandoned (and therefore unsupported). Where and what for do you want to create such a connection? Do you refer to ProxHTTPSProxy? The idea of ProxHTTPSProxy is actually to establish a TLS 2.0 or even a TLS 3.0 connection where this is natively not possible by using more recent cipher suites via a HTTPSProxy. But I think you surely already know that. -
That was the actual call. I need information especially regarding Comodo Antivirus in terms of its definition updates. Does Comodo Antivirus 12.0.0.6818 or another XP-compatible version that I may not yet have on my radar still receive definition updates on a regular base in these days?
-
It's time to post on topic again.
-
Although the whole conversation has actually become off-topic, I do not agree with your statement "Only if you don't tweak and optimize!". You can't redesign the whole OS. Tweaking and optimizing has nothing to do with the fact that the basic design of Windows 10, and more worse Windows 11, is crap. And I am not interested in modifying, tweaking and optimizing such crap. End of story.
-
Exactly! When I use Windows 10, I am constantly looking for where a certain function has been hidden again. For me, using Windows 10 means that I have to swear all the time. Windows XP, on the other hand, is pure relaxation. I'm happy to accept that some things can't be done.
-
This firewall is a special version for Windows XP. Formerly, it was called Vista Firewall Control, then Windows 7 Firewall Control and so on. That doesn't mean anything. Technically, I am running a pure Windows XP equipped with a lot of software. And the more recent OSes are crappy because the admin is no longer an admin. The admin is Microsoft in more recent Windows OSes, especially starting with Windows 8. And in the end, you can't do much about it. Apart from that, you are bombarded with so much junk that you lose all sense of humor.
-
If you know me a little, you know that I won't ditch anything. But one thing is clear. My "beloved", ancient Windows XP machine can do most of the tasks I want it to do. Thus, I do not have to use the crappy more recent Windows versions that often. Apart from that, I'm also an Android enthusiast. And I am Linux user, too. So I dance at all weddings.
-
To each their own, of course. IMHO, Windows 10 Firewall Control Plus XP 7.5.105.217 is the best firewall for Windows XP ever. I am able to control each programme or system component. And I can easily create rules or zones according to my needs. But as you said . Anyway! Thanks for your opinion! PS: This remark was probably meant more as a joke. People who frequent MSFN and the Windows XP subforum often have old computers that are very often still running Windows XP. This thread was created by me precisely for this target group, besides others, of course. No one here is encouraged or forced to use a 20-year-old computer or whatever else.
-
Great! Does this ancient version Comodo Firewall 2.4.18.184 do its job properly under Windows XP in these days? Any issues? And can you provide some facts, screenshots and release notes regarding this version? The problem is I can't install this version on my machine as it would interfere with my Windows 10 Firewall Control which I would never uninstall.
-
Thanks for your reply! Do you still use this version on an old machine?
-
Wow! The interest in Comodo security programmes seems to be huge.
-
@genieautravail BTW, I tested the SUPERAntiSpyware Free Edition last night. The installation worked without any problems. Also the update of the programme to version 10.0.1266 and the update of the signatures database. Additionally, I carried out a function check. Everything ran as it should. TBH, I have no idea what's going on in your Windows XP system. But one thing is clear. Your hasty conclusions are simply wrong. And this is unfortunately not the first time.
-
SUPERAntiSpyware Free Edition works absolutely fine here. No issues. No DLL problems. I can access all features. I think your system is the causer. You can alternatively try the installer version 10.0.1250 as this version was the one before incompatibilities with the programme appeared the first time. BTW, I have been using SUPERAntiSpyware since 2007 without any serious issues. So, please check your system first before posting issues one can't confirm!
-
Sorry, no clue! I had been using Comodo programmes only a short time in the past. Maybe, some others here can say more about the different versions of Comodo. I used the Comodo Firewall for the longest time (some months). But all that is long time ago. So, here is my next call to all users of Comodo under Windows XP. This thread needs information about Comodo Antivirus, Comodo Internet Security and Comodo Firewall. Especially users running Windows XP in a VM or users running VMs in general might test some of the last compatible versions and report here. That would be very helpful as I cannot test all software by myself. And here is what I know about the last compatible versions which had been running error-free: Comodo Antivirus 12.0.0.6818 Comodo Internet Security 12.0.0.6818 Comodo Firewall 8.4.0.5165 Now, we need confirmations and information by testing these versions and maybe others.
-
You're welcome. Finding download links was no problem, but the constant testing is annoying. Anyway! Thanks for reporting the XP incompatibility of the more recent SUPERAntiSpyware installers! One thing has once again become clear. The incompatibility of an installer does not necessarily mean that the programme itself is also incompatible.
-
The last Windows XP compatible installer of SUPERAntiSpyware Free Edition is the version 10.0.1254. Install it and use the internal updater! Then you will get the latest version 10.0.1266. Here is a screenshot: And here is the download link for the installer: https://download.filepuma.com/files/spyware-removers/superantispyware/SuperAntiSpyware_v10.0.1254.exe. Accordingly, I have updated my article. Cheers, AstroSkipper
-
@genieautravail My advice to you is to find the last XP-compatible installer of SUPERAntiSpyware Free Edition and install the programme. Then try to update the programme using the internal updater.
-
Personally, I am using the Professional X Edition which is working fine under Windows XP. I have installed the latest verson 10.0.1266 on my Windows XP machine (via the internal updater). Look at my screenshots! However, I didn't try the Free Edition. I thought it was also XP-compatible, especially if the Professional X edition is still XP-compatible. But first, try an older installer version from here: https://www.filepuma.com/download/superantispyware-17/versions/ I would try the version SUPERAntiSpyware 10.0.1250 first as I had compatibility problems with the version 10.0.1252 I already reported here. Maybe, only the installer of the more recent versions is no longer XP-compatible.

One entry of my internal list of security programmes is Comodo. I already wrote about Comodo Antivirus in the old antivirus thread: https://msfn.org/board/topic/177099-which-antiviruses-are-known-for-a-fact-to-be-working-on-xp-sp3-as-of-2019/?do=findComment&comment=1241826 https://msfn.org/board/topic/177099-which-antiviruses-are-known-for-a-fact-to-be-working-on-xp-sp3-as-of-2019/?do=findComment&comment=1241854 Is anyone here who has been using Comodo Antivirus or Comodo Internet Security under Windows XP in the last time? I need information, user experiences and test results together with the name and the number of the used version. It is particularly important how up-to-date these versions still are with regard to programme and virus definitions updates. It would also be interesting to know whether the programmes for Windows XP that are still advertised on the Comodo websites are actually XP-compatible and still work today. Here is a link: https://antivirus.comodo.com/security/windows-xp-free-antivirus.php In any case, my research from last year revealed that the last error-free, XP-compatible release of Comodo Antivirus was the version 12.0.0.6818. However, I don't know whether it is still working today or not. BTW, Comodo Firewall will also be looked at. But only at a later date.
