    This thread is about security programs for XP that are secure. I can go one better by merging the two statements : This thread is about security programmes for XP that are secure and still work.

    The BSI is strict regarding security warnings. So, your assessment is correct. In Germany, cyber security is taken very seriously as I already wrote in a previous post. AstroSkipper

    Hello @Saxon! If you are permanently connected with your notebook to the internet and need a real-time protection, you can try Panda Antivirus Free. Here is a link to my article: https://msfn.org/board/topic/184730-antimalware-firewall-and-other-security-programs-for-windows-xp-working-in-2023-and-hopefully-beyond/?do=findComment&comment=1244402 Alternatively, if you are willing to buy a license, you can try Malwarebytes Antimalware. This older version is very light on resources: https://msfn.org/board/topic/184730-antimalware-firewall-and-other-security-programs-for-windows-xp-working-in-2023-and-hopefully-beyond/?do=findComment&comment=1248964 And this is a more recent version: https://msfn.org/board/topic/184730-antimalware-firewall-and-other-security-programs-for-windows-xp-working-in-2023-and-hopefully-beyond/?do=findComment&comment=1244368 Cheers, AstroSkipper

    Thanks. That's all I ask. Just so you don't misunderstand me, I mean official warnings from the BSI, as in the case of Kaspersky. I live in Germany, and the BSI is responsible for internet and cyber security in this country. In our country, such security warnings are taken seriously. That's why we have our experts, who are supposed to protect our population.

    Post edited! Thanks!

    But if you want to help here, it would be very nice if you could take a stand on this post: I have not received an answer from you yet.
  7. AstroSkipper
    No! First of all, there are no such official security concerns about the security programmes I already listed as it is the case of Kaspersky. However, if such a report is published and I become aware of it, I will also warn against the programme concerned. But the research you are doing is not official and therefore not relevant. I am sorry! So you'd better invest your time wisely.

    I had cleaned and decontaminated only the crap which was implemented by the website providing that installer. This crap wasn't a part of the original installer. I did not modify anything related to Kaspersky. Such modification you suggested are not allowed due to copyrights and especially not here in the MSFN forum. This would violate the forum rules. Read the forum rules!
  9. AstroSkipper
    My opinion and my attitude to this matter is based on what I already wrote and linked in this post:
  10. AstroSkipper
    You have no authority to do this. This thread is about security programs for XP that work. Kaspersky is one of them. That is not a "praise". This quote is, as you always like to do, taken out of context. If someone posts about the same programme (and by that I mean Kaspersky Antivirus) over and over again, one doesn't really have anything new to say here. I personally write about many different security programmes here. Hence, my advice: First read, then write! As you know, I am the creator of this thread, and I will fill it only with content, which I can justify to myself, thus to the best of my knowledge and conscience. And I can of course suggest whatever I want to. But I can remember very well when you demanded in one of your countless Chrome threads that no one may say anything about the age of 360Chrome and that this browser is obsolete. For that, you are right, you did not have the authority to do this. Anyway! Regarding this topic, TBH, it is crystal clear one can't reach the unteachable or motivated for other, known reasons anyway. But maybe, those who still associate anything meaningful with the term security in this day and age. IMHO, Kaspersky is simply said history, no further investigation will be done by me. And as I already recommended, Kaspersky should be avoided based on all the facts listed here and in the old antivirus thread. And this is only a recommendation and nothing else. That's why I listed Kaspersky here: Cheers, AstroSkipper

    @NotHereToPlayGames Apart from that, I haven't read anything from you in this thread that could in any way help readers learn about security programmes. Most of your few posts here are generally rather offtopic and informationless. If you change that at some point, that would be nice and provide a real service to the reader. And by that I mean contributions that do not have Kaspersky as their content. Because the topic has been discussed extensively here and in the old anitvirus thread.
  12. AstroSkipper
    It is a service to the reader of my thread to point out software that many countries consider a significant security risk. And, since you reject and do not use any anti-malware programmes and firewalls, as you have posted very often here on MSFN, I cannot take seriously your praise for Kaspersky and all investigations whose results are biased and predictable. There is a nice saying in the German language: "Schuster, bleib bei deinen Leisten!". Translated only for you: "Cobbler, stick to your last!". But it will certainly be fun to read "your results".
  13. AstroSkipper
    Correct! The image of used DLL files is totally perfect for the verification of the existing, massive security concerns in terms of Kaspersky.
  14. AstroSkipper
    If there were not massive security concerns about Kaspersky, which have been sufficiently discussed in this thread and can be read here, then just looking at this list of loaded DLL files by Kaspersky's programme file avp.exe would be enough not to install such a programme : This is more like a DLL file invasion and abuse. One can scroll until the fingers are sore. This gives an even better understanding of the warning issued by the BSI in Germany. Personally, I would never under any circumstances install such a programme, even as a test. So, my dear readers, be careful when looking for an antimalware programme! You don't have to knowingly contaminate and compromise your system.

    Hello @we3fan! Thanks for your suggestion! I know this tool and some others to minimize programmes to the systray. One of them is Min2Tray. If someone of you uses my package ProxHTTPSProxy's PopMenu TLS 1.3 3V3, then the tool Min2Tray v1.7.9 will already be configured and installed when setting up the proxy. In that case, no further Minimize To Tray tool is necessary, though. Anyway! Thanks again for pointing to RBTray 4.3! Cheers, AstroSkipper
  16. AstroSkipper
    I think AstroSkipper did not mention Kaspersky in his thank-you post, because the security concerns that have already been discussed a thousand times make any further consideration or recommendation of Kaspersky security programmes, even under Windows XP, impossible. And it doesn't help when you sing the praises of Kaspersky here You are absolutely right! That's what I think. Thank you for clarification!

    You're welcome!

    As previously reported, the virus definitions update for Avast Free Antivius 2015 version 10.4.2233.1299 will be discontinued at the end of this summer. This applies to all versions from 9 to 11. See here: https://blog.avast.com/virus-definition-updates-eol Therefore, I recommend for all those, who are interested in this version or want to use it later, to download the latest Avast VPS update for versions 9 to 11. Here is the download link: https://install.avcdn.net/ivps9x/vpsupd.exe At the moment, it is still being updated. Therefore, check regularly until the last version is delivered! Cheers, AstroSkipper

    @anton12 Try the settings I made via ematrix provided in the following screenshot: And try additionally this site-specific user agent override (SSUAO): Mozilla/5.0 (%OS_SLICE% rv:65.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/65.0 If you allow all scripts on this website via ematrix, as is the case without this extension, the video won't play, and the complete website will fail to load correctly. Conclusion: at the moment, this website needs specific settings in New Moon 28 to load and to play the video. One or more scripts don't work in New Moon 28 which therefore may not be loaded. The answer to your question seems to be for now: both, the crappy website and the browser, are responsible for the issue. And the Black Magic is elsewhere. Cheers, AstroSkipper
  20. AstroSkipper
    Ok! I am at my desktop computer now. Your link and the interview can be accessed in the latest version of New Moon 28 under Windows XP. The video seems to play properly. Here is a proof: Therefore, I can't confirm your observation at the moment.
  21. AstroSkipper
    I personally open all TV related websites on my Android tablet. I don't expect that such websites can be successfully accessed by New Moon 28 or Serpent 52. One thing you can do is to open this link in the latest version of Pale Moon under a more modern OS such as Windows 7 or 10. If it also fails there, you can report in the Pale Moon forum. Maybe, one day a fix will come and can be ported then by @roytam1.
  22. AstroSkipper
    That's right. But of course, no proof also does not mean a theory is incorrect. Think, for example, of Fermat's Last Theorem!
  23. AstroSkipper
    This is true if we were talking about quantum physical states. But a theory in the macroscopic space (and that's what we are talking about) can only have one of two states, either true or false. We have to prove it. Until we have done that, we cannot say yes (true) or no (false). But both at once, as in the quantum physical world, that cannot happen in the macroscopic world at all.
  24. AstroSkipper
    That's not what I said. We can't say yes or no. A Boolean evaluation is not possible. Both is possible. That's what I said.
  25. AstroSkipper
    Yep, I used it, too. It is a pity that a project like WiseVector StopX was simply shut down. But I had the impression that the developers only wanted to get their hands on data in order to launch a commercial product on the market and earn money. The users were more like guinea pigs to feed their artificial intelligence (AI) they had implemented into WiseVector StopX.
