I'm surprised that ClamWin hasn't been added to this list yet. I guess I'll be doing the burden then
. The latest version is 0.99.1

Also, I would like to know what other members think about Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit Kit, and has anyone who uses the product, ever tripped it.

Hello Noel,
Thank you for linking your domains compiler, and sharing the lists you use. The lists I mainly use can be found in the Ublock Orgin Repository under Third Party Filters, Malware Domains. I also use lists from here as well http://iplists.firehol.org/
Proxy I use: http://www.squid-cache.org/
To those who do not want to maintain their own servers, or use the HOSTS as a blacklist, Ublock Orgin is a wonderful extension that not only blocks ads, but also blocks malware.

Popup Blocker I use: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/popup-blocker-ultimate/

Couldn't one, instead of using the hosts file as a blacklist, use a proxy like Squid to accomplish the same thing. Using a proxy would prevent system degradation that could be caused by inflating the hosts file, and speed up web browsing by freeing up bandwidth (Squid is a caching Proxy).

To give an update of the User share for XP and other OSes Here they are as of September of 2016. (at least according to netmarketshare
)
While I find that these statistics should be taken with a pinch of salt, there are some points of interest.
Netshare from August to September of 2016
Windows 10: decreased 22.99% to 22.53%
Windows 8.1: decreased 7.92% to 7.83%
Windows 8: decreased 1.82% to 1.78%
Windows 7: increased 47.25% to 48.25%
Windows XP: decreased 9.36% to 9.11%
Windows 2000: decrease ~0.01% to ~0.01% (source)
Windows NT: increase 0.12% to 0.23% [interestingly reached a yearly high of 0.73% of OS market share during May(16)]

Hi, Flasche! Long time no see!
Relax, the solution has been found already (as you'd know, if you'd actually read some more of this thread... but, then again, who does?)
Hello dencorso
That is good news, and I will immediately implement the workaround on my XP laptop. The funny thing is that I specifically checked each page to see if a solution was posted, before I made my post. Somehow I didn't see the smiley train.

I use Firefox 44.0 as the main browser, Pale Moon 26.0.0 as the second alternative and IE8 as the third.
But some months ago I was forced to add Chrome (as of today: v.48.0.2564.97 m), because none of the 3 above can play H.264 (HTML5) video (on XP SP3, obviously -- this issue doesn't exist on 7 or 8.1), while Chrome can, and many sites I read have changed to non-Flash content, so I had to cave in. I did try the new Opera (which I never liked either, but I do have Opera 12 on my other day-to-day desktop), but it too isn't able to play H.264 (HTML5) video. Does anyone know of any good add-on for FF or PM, capable of solving this issue. I'd gladly remove Chrome from my machine, in case the other browsers became capable of playing H.264 video. TIA.
Firefox has addressed this, and stated that their are no plans to incorporate this.

You can try to use the VLC Web Pluggin, however I did not have success with it.
Possible fix in the distant future.

Considering that one of the current requirements for packing Crayola crayons (at least locally) is the ability to competently use a windows 2000 and/or NT (4) computer, imo makes the XP obsolete question on a business level silly. (No I do not pack crayons fyi)

Hello submix
If this video is to be believed, it would certainly be possible.

SpoilerPersonally however, I see no problem with "downgrading" to the use of WPA on 9x machines. People tend to over exaggerate the "insecurity" of WPA, probably due to the use of TKIP and the WPS exploit. AFAIK the only way to crack the passphrase is to use a brute force attack. A WPA secured network with a strong password and disabled WPS should be more than sufficient to keep out all, but the most determined hackers. Not broadcasting the SSID is also a good idea.

If a driver uses the WDM framework, in theory the code should be Binary compatible, and have source code compatibility from Windows 98 up to Windows vista x86. Theory is not actuality though, and binary compatibly/source compatibility is not assured, due to WDM facilities that may only be present in newer versions of windows.

If XP is obsolete (and it's not) I guess that makes my precious ME a relic.

The automatic and manual vps update of Avast! 4 Home 4.8.1368 fail on ME since 4th October. Message: Not enough storage to process this command. It still works on XP. Avast had worked in the background without any problems on one machine here so far except that it delayed the startup. The VPS def file had enlarged up to 200MB in recent years.
Avast 4.8 is updating fine on my PC. (Windows ME unofficial service pack)

My main goal for this is actually the NT 4 support, but if I am doing the work for NT, why not also target Win95. TBH, the lack of a modern browser is the only thing keeping me off of NT4 as my primary OS.
The MSFN bugs were introduced recently when they updated the forum software. The HTML elements they used in the new version are not (yet!) compatible with RetroZilla. I am working on rz3.0 now which should improve HTML5 support drastically. (For example, RetroZilla doesn't pass ACID2 in its current state, I plan to change that)
I already incorporated the sources over on ToastyTech, in fact it was that page that inspired me to do this, I figured that if we can make those minor improvements to the codebase, we can do much more if we backport more patches to the old Gecko.
Good to see some love for the pre 2k OSes of the NT line. Curious did you incorporate some of the back-ports bearwindows has on his site? http://bearwindows.zcm.com.au/wintips.htm

Aye I'm gone for a year and come back to a new 9x (and NT 4
) project. Going to test it out now on the ME system.
EDIT:
I like it. It's a quick little browser that holds some promise. Buggy accessing MSFN Forums however.
EDIT2:
You may also like to look at some of the sources here, you may find it useful.

Aura M4 or Doscore
I came across this interesting OS today (somehow missing this reply god knows how long ago XD http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/171457-dos-based-oses/?p=1101211).
It is a hybrid kernel os (Freedos 1.1 and the Aura GUI) whose goal is to give a modern gui feeling to good old dos. (I don't know why I put the horizontal lines
)Here is a link to the projects website http://doscore.net/doscore_2008-2015/dosc0re_-_Aura_M4_-_Blacksanta.html
project description (from website): Welcome to the doscore home page. Here you will find resources and information about the FreeDOS based distribution and the Aura GUI built by Chase Finn and Chelson Aitcheson based on the Ozone GUI code. This software is freeware/open-source and is available on sourceforge. some parts of the code are not open-source but the base of the code is GPL derived from Ozone GUI. Ozone
Our goal is to have a modern feeling Graphical user interface that utilizes internet applications, connectivity, file-sharing and dos server functions. Some 3rd Party applications are bundled (mostly freeware projects) and some other official FreeDOS tools to help you deal with daily tasks.0 -
No.
For now. I would not be surprised if someone made a compatibility layer for XP in the future due to its popularity.

In real terms, what's our alternative? Find a OS maker that doesn't push "cloud computing"? Set up our computers to use local accounts. Take them offline?
Even some Linux Distro's push for the cloud

Last versions of software for Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008

Off the top of my mind I can think of Blender and Java which have yet to be added. Blender has vista listed on their system requirements, and Java support for Vista is ongoing (though it will probably end shortly after EOL). Unfortunately I won't be able to help much with testing since my only Vista machine is currently out of commission.
