    All horses back! The download manager in Opera on my Android tablet shows a wrong file size. Now, I am back at my desktop computer, and the file size of FREEAV.exe matches nearly the one you posted: 93181864 B (88.9 MB). I already corrected my posts. So this time, we seem to get the same offline installer regardless of our location. Kindest regards, AstroSkipper

    All archived websites, I wanted to access via web.archive.org were properly displayed in New Moon 28 for the last years. Some weeks ago, when I had to access such websites on web.archive.org, there were definitely no problems I could have noticed. But I'll test your link when I am at my desktop computer again. At the moment, I am surfing on my Android tablet. I tested your linked website in the latest release of New Moon 28 (2023-10-06). I couldn't observe any serious problems except the initially cumbersome loading I already mentioned. Here is a screenshot as a proof:

    I can remember very well. I checked my provided link some minutes before posting and the file FREEAV.exe has indeed the size of 93 88.9 MB. It seems to depend on the country from which you access the link. You know the proof is in the pudding. So, you can try to access the link with a German IP via VPN to check if the file size changes. I'll try to download the file with a Hellenic IP.

    Or, one can use this link I have fetched from the online installer (93 88.9 MB) and provided im my post about Panda Free Antivirus: http://acs.pandasoftware.com/Panda/FREEAV/193309/FREEAV.exe

    The website web.archive.org can of course be used to view archived websites in old web browsers. It works, for example, in New Moon 28 or Serpent 52. It's more a question of defining what an old web browser is. The ability to temporarily disable CSP in UXP browsers is great. I need this frequently. E.g. to load certain web pages in iframes.

    There is a big difference whether there is an official warning, such as that from the BSI, for a programme or not. Such official warnings do not exist for Malwarebytes, Panda and AVG, but they do for Kaspersky. Any turning off features changes nothing at all. TBH, such an official warning says it all. And finally stop with your anti- and pro-categories in this thread! That has no place here.

    I never had any problems with installers, and especially installers of antimalware programmes, in terms of detecting the .NET Framework versions installed under Windows XP Professional SP3 32-bit (and even including all POSReady updates). So, I can't confirm this statement. But under Windows XP 64-bit, this seems to be more the case. I personally am really glad not to have to use Windows XP 64-bit.

    I personally control CSP via my self-created custom button Toggle CSP which I made available to the public a long time ago here: Due to the colours of Toggle CSP, one always knows whether CSP is enabled (green) or disabled (red). Disabling CSP is of course associated with a loss of security. On the other hand, CSP causes a lot of problems with different websites. So, it's up to the user to decide whether to enable or disable this feature.
  10. AstroSkipper
    Ok! Maybe, I have no problems accessing this website because I have generally disabled CSP in New Moon 28 for some reasons.

    Although web.archive.org works for me in New Moon 28, I have noticed, however, that the website has become more cumbersome and difficult to load than it was a few months ago.

    No problems here in the latest version of New Moon 28. Here is a screenshot:

    Restoring the manual and automatic update function for extensions in Mypal 68.13.3b Replace the file omni.ja in the main programme folder of Mypal 68.13.3b by the fixed one, uploaded by @feodor2, from here: https://github.com/Feodor2/Mypal68/issues/286#issuecomment-1753451203 Check if the value of the pref extensions.htmlaboutaddons.enabled is false. Set the pref extensions.update.enabled to the value true. Set the pref extensions.update.url to the value https://versioncheck.addons.mozilla.org/update/VersionCheck.php?reqVersion=%REQ_VERSION%&id=%ITEM_ID%&version=%ITEM_VERSION%&maxAppVersion=%ITEM_MAXAPPVERSION%&status=%ITEM_STATUS%&appID=%APP_ID%&appVersion=%APP_VERSION%&appOS=%APP_OS%&appABI=%APP_ABI%&locale=%APP_LOCALE%&currentAppVersion=%CURRENT_APP_VERSION%&updateType=%UPDATE_TYPE%&compatMode=%COMPATIBILITY_MODE% Set the pref extensions.update.background.url to the value https://versioncheck-bg.addons.mozilla.org/update/VersionCheck.php?reqVersion=%REQ_VERSION%&id=%ITEM_ID%&version=%ITEM_VERSION%&maxAppVersion=%ITEM_MAXAPPVERSION%&status=%ITEM_STATUS%&appID=%APP_ID%&appVersion=%APP_VERSION%&appOS=%APP_OS%&appABI=%APP_ABI%&locale=%APP_LOCALE%&currentAppVersion=%CURRENT_APP_VERSION%&updateType=%UPDATE_TYPE%&compatMode=%COMPATIBILITY_MODE% Clear the cache and restart the browser. Now, the update function should work finally again after this long time. If there is more to fix, we will see after further testing. In any case, with the settings I listed above, I had the first successes in updating two extensions, Clear Cache from version 3.1 to 3.2 and Simple Translate from version 2.8.0 to 2.8.2. Here are some screenshots to document the restored updating in Mypal 68.13.3b in single-process mode: Before updating the extensions: While updating the extensions: After updating the extensions: At the moment, uBlock Origin can't be updated this way. You have to do that manually as usual. This issue is described more detailed in Mypal's issue #287 here: https://github.com/Feodor2/Mypal68/issues/287#issuecomment-1755185457 Cheers, AstroSkipper

    On my Windows XP Professional SP3 32-bit partitions, I have installed all .NET Framework versions from 1.1 to 4.0 with all hotfixes and updates.
  15. AstroSkipper
    The issue I quoted in this post has been solved very quickly. A fix uploaded by @feodor2 can be downloaded from Mypal's issue #286 I already closed as completed. Cheers, AstroSkipper

    @tekkaman This thread is exclusively about security programmes for Windows XP . Therefore, your observation or problem is unfortunately off-topic. You should post it in the Windows 7 forum. BTW, I had no problem to install Panda Antivirus Free in the version 22.00.01 under Windows XP. And the installer didn't want me to install .NET Framework 4 either, presumably because my Windows XP was and is fully updated. Cheers, AstroSkipper

    The problems from the quoted post, I also reported to Mypal68's issues on GitHub. Here is the link: https://github.com/Feodor2/Mypal68/issues/287 Cheers, AstroSkipper

    This probably depends on the age of the SSD and the electronics installed.
  20. AstroSkipper
    Yep! That should work.

    Hello @WSC4! Now, you might understand why I personally am not a fan of AVG. I also had to deal with BSODs. And that was already under Windows XP Professional SP3 32-bit. I never had such problems with any other Antivirus programme. And I tried a lot of different security programmes under Windows XP. Even Avast did not produce such BSODs. That's why I follow the rule: AVG, never again! Cheers, AstroSkipper

    In case you can't find such a driver, what about installing Windows 7 32-bit instead of Windows Vista 32-bit? Would that be an option for you? Or is Windows Vista 32-bit a must? For Windows 7 32-bit in combination with the 920m graphics card, there are definitely drivers available. Just an idea. Cheers, AstroSkipper

    As promised, some further information about the topic Avira AntiVir Engine. I already mentioned that Avira has stopped supporting 32-bit systems for some time. Therefore, I reinstalled 360 Total Security Essential 8.8.0.1119 to see what is going on with its Avira AntiVir Engine today. After installing, I checked the date of the virus database. Without any updating, the virus database is from 28.07.2020. Here is a screenshot taken directly after installation without updating: When performing an update, the virus database of Avira was updated, too. The last version of the virus database, one can get, seems to be from 19.02.2021. Here is a screenshot after updating: More recent virus definitions, one apparently can't get anymore, presumably due to the lack of a more recent 32-Bit Avira AntiVir Engine. But at least, one can still update the virus database a bit, unlike Wise Anti Malware. And of course, it mustn't be forgotten that 360 Total Security Essential 8.8.0.1119 has four other antivirus engines. In any case, this little check is a further confirmation that the Avira AntiVir Engines are no longer supported on 32-Bit systems. Cheers, AstroSkipper

    @feodor2 I am in the process of testing the offered features related to extensions in your new release Mypal 68.13.3b. The entry "Check For Updates" in the "More Information" page of an extension does not do anything. Same when clicking onto the entry "Find Updates" of the extension's context menu. Is it not yet active? Will it be restored in one of the next releases? Furthermore, I noticed on the page "Manage Your Extensions" that entries of the menu "Tools for all add-ons" have been removed. Here is a screenshot taken from the previous version Mypal 68.13.2b: And here is a screenshot taken from Mypal 68.13.3b: In this menu, all entries regarding the updating of extensions are missing, and the menu seems rather broken. Is this how you wanted it? I do not hope so. Until now, one always had to manually check for updates on the Firefox Addons website. A manual and automatic update check in Mypal 68 would be desirable and useful. Will these functions be restored in one of the next releases? TBH, I have been waiting for this for soooooo long. Cheers, AstroSkipper

    Hello @feodor2! Hope you are doing well. Furthermore, thank you very much for your new release Mypal 68.13.3b! I read your release notes, especially: You know I created this thread to post here all related to extensions and custom buttons targeting Mypal 68. You wrote you "changed extension things". Therefore, I tested your new release in terms of extensions. I made a new, clean install, created a fresh profile, configured it in single-process mode, and installed only two extensions, Cookie Quick Manager 0.5rc2 and uBlock Origin 1.52.2. Here is a screenshot: Now, I clicked onto the entry of uBlock Origin to see more information. Here is a screenshot: So far, everything is normal as usual. Next, I went back to the extensions overview. No problem. But then, when clicking onto uBlock Origin again, the page became empty. Here is a screenshot of this issue: You see there is a problem. The detailed information about uBlock Origin can't be shown again. Same issue when clicking onto Cookie Quick Manager. A temporary fix is to refresh the page. Every time, an empty page is displayed, which is the rule after a click onto an extension, a refresh must be carried out to see the information related to an extension again. BTW, same issue when using Mypal 68.13.3b in multiprocess mode. This issue didn't happen in the previous release Mypal 68.13.2.b, though. Therefore, it is a brand new issue, presumably caused by the recent changes in Mypal 68.13.3b. Hope, you are able to reproduce and to solve it. Cheers, AstroSkipper
