Officially Chromium for Windows 7 will continue to receive updates from Google, these are based on Chromium 109 and these will be done with Thorium Browser.* See here in the old version section: https://chromium.woolyss.com/ Main website: Github https://github.com/Alex313031/thorium-win7 Release Standard version https:/ /github.com/Alex313031/Thorium-Win/releases Release AVX2 version https://github.com/Alex313031/Thorium-AVX2/releases Releases SSE2, SSE3, ARM, Linux, Android, etc. https://github.com/Alex313031/Thorium-Special/releases?page=2 Note: I inform the authors that the SSE2 32-bit version is identified as a virus by several Anti-Malware https://github.com/Alex313031/Thorium-Special/issues/51 *I think I have read in the past that this browser was officially supported by Google, right now I can't find information to confirm it

I've been looking around a bit more. Although it is not mentioned in the history, it seems that the last non-ESU Cumulative Monthly Review is from January 14, 2020. https://support.microsoft.com/es-es/topic/tuesday-january-14-2020-kb4534310-cumulative-monthly-package-9ce32b1b-77ef-9a17-7ecb-2bcebcaa9ff5 Is that one you mention @adi2137px,from February 2020, a loose patch or a cumulative one? There are annual ESU reviews until the end of 2022 https://learn.microsoft.com/es-ES/lifecycle/faq/extended-security-updates On January 10, 2023, it returns to monthly reviews https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/10-January-2023-kb5022338-monthly-cumulative-package-6b406e1d-69b2-4e6a-b13e-053d22268e13 And later updates are only available for Windows 7 Embedded and Windows Server 2008 R2. Now my questions are: 1-If the cumulative monthly patch of January 14, 2020 includes the updates from SP1 or from 2016. 2-If the ESU monthly cumulative review of January 10, 2023 includes updates from 2016 or only since the last ESU annual review of 2022.

I would like to know which cumulative update package to install after Windows Seven SP1 on a new installation. A 2016 package is mentioned here Windows 7 convenience rollup package https://answers.microsoft.com/es-es/windows/forum/all/cómo-instalar-las-últimas/5dcb4c51-ca8d-4e64-9a17-8af9afc16ca4 I see that there are also subsequent monthly updates. Are these monthly updates cumulative? How are monthly releases different from "security only" releases? Supposedly the free support ended on January 14, 2020 but I see that the last free package is from October 13, 2020 this is correct? https://support.microsoft.com/es-es/topic/13-de-octubre-de-2020-kb4580345-informe-mensual-2c204946-73d5-b596-ad70-d37507395dac After the end of free support there is ESU extended support. On this Dell page they put some requirements. Among these is the monthly package October 8, 2019. Isn't a later one useful? I don't know if there is a post that summarizes all this... Thank you.

What I noticed many years ago, with any antivirus in real time. It is that if I run a .exe file with a virus, it still infects the system even if the antivirus detects it. I remember this especially with Avira.

What do you recommend better LTSC 2015 or 2016? Is it possible that these two versions will lose security updates before LTSC 2019 or 2021?

This is a political opinion that should not fit in this forum. I cannot imagine that situation and I am not going to express my political opinion here. Sorry.

I do not have a definite opinion that is true. I don't trust Malwarebytes to have the same detection capabilities as Avast. Just like Avast doesn't detect some spies that Malwarebytes does detect. The version of Malwarebytes Free & Premium seems to be the same, the Free version must be activated to be used as Premium. I just reinstalled Malwarebytes, I see that it preserves the previous quarantine and the database before uninstalling. I have installed right now, at the same time... -WiseVector StopX 3.07 on demand (it says last virus update 2023-04-28) I click on "Check for Updates" = Updates failed (at this moment). -Malwarebytes Free 3.5.1 On Demand (it says package version 1.0.365, update package version 1.0.29723) . I click on update and now it says update package version 1.0.29777 -Avast 6.0.1367 On Demand (2020-03 database) -ClamWin 0.103.2.1 -AVG 18.8 without real-time protection (I don't know if it is automatically deactivated when detecting other antiviruses, I'm not interested in activating its real-time) And with all this there is no problem. But if I also install Panda Dome and activate real-time protection, it gives an error in one of its files, I don't remember which one. I am doing tests, I will know my final configuration in a while.

I do not understand very well how WiseVector StopX works with AI with abandoned status. Do you have more information? Does AI depend on a server or the program itself collects Internet information? How does this work to collect new viruses? According to other users or any database? The biggest doubt is that if this is abandoned until when it will work?

I am going to install Windows 10 LTSC 2021. I see that there is an official download evaluation and download partners to sell a loose retail license. The Microsoft download and the SoftComputers download have a different size https://softcomputers.org/en/download/distr-windows/download-windows-10/ All the files are the same except in the resources folder these 4 files: -boot.wim -EI.CFG -install.wim -PID.txt (serial key) This contains the EI.CFG files -Microsoft: [Channel] eval [VL] 0 -Soft Computers: [Channel] volume [VL] 1 I haven't looked at what changes in the boot.wim and install.wim files yet. What difference do I have between installing one or other version if I am only going to buy a license for one computer? Is it useful to download the Microsoft evaluation to buy a separate license a SoftComputers or others Microsoft partners?

How To Turn Off Autorun https://tiptopsecurity.com/how-to-disable-autoplay-and-autorun-instructions-for-windows-xp-vista-win-7-and-8/ In the last 15 years, my Windows 2000/XP PCs have not been infected by any viruses. I always have real-time protection disabled. I have downloaded hundreds of thousands of programs from thousands of web pages.

Do you know if eSacan, Panda Dome and WiseVector have loose downloadable virus definitions files like Avast and AVG?

Thanks... I Looked, I searched and searched, maybe I was confused by the dance of names. @AstroSkipper the trick to get AVG from temporary files I tried even with a file monitor. But dozens of strange files with no apparent meaning are downloaded.

Thanks Is that link permanent for new versions? where did you find it?

I think better. Of course, I'm now very happy with my Pentium 4, I was going to retire it and now I don't see the need. But I wonder why this happens on computers that have more RAM and if there is a solution?

Congratulations on opening the thread, now we can make a nice list in the header. Perhaps the disadvantage is that in search engines users will look for the word antivirus, not the word malware, although I don't see a very much problem. Here are a few programs to add to the alphabetical list. I order them like I have these on my computer, rate these however you like.

Unfortunately now, in 2023, I am looking for a new antivirus. I'll test if any from the past are currently working and comment.

I have tested this version on 2 computers. 1- Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 DDR 2 800mhz 4 GiB RAM I open 32 tabs at the same time and the computer reaches 4 GiB RAM, at which point everything slows down having to work with virtual memory. 2- Pentium 4 3.2 Ghz DDR 333 Mhz 2 GiB RAM I open 64 tabs at a time and the computer only reaches 1.3 GiB RAM so it still works perfectly. I have already found in other versions of 360 Extreme Explorer that working with faster computers gives more problems than benefits...

Yes, this is the online installer AVG Antivirus Free 18.8.4084.0 http://web.archive.org/web/20181227134304if_/https://install.avcdn.net/avg/iavs9x/avg_antivirus_free_setup.exe Thanks, but I don't like online installers at all. I would like to live one day without the Internet and I don't trust that online installer can work within a year.

I am experimenting. It seems that the offline version AVG Antivirus Free 18.8 does not exist. No page with old version software has it, these jump from version 17 to 20. https://support.avg.com/answers?id=9060N0000005KegQAE

I'm trying alls antivirus software to make a short list. Protegent Antivirus AV Cloud is not currently supported on Windows XP. When trying to install it unpack 2 programs in c.\PAV If it is done from XP, only Unistal-Date Care aka Crash Proof is installed, which claims to make copies of the software and is not an antivirus (it is not known what it really does, it does not give info, help, or options). Danger. It seems that he takes all the information from your hard drive and sends it to his cloud.

in that link https://install.avcdn.net/avg/iavs9x-xp/avg_free_antivirus_setup_offline.exe it downloads AVG Antivirus Free 17.9.3761.0 In this link https://install.avcdn.net/avg/iavs9x-xp/avg_internet_security_setup_offline.exe it downloads AVG Internet Security 18.8.4084.0 I understand that the Internet Security version is trial Where can I download AVG Antivirus Free 18.8?

The world is crazy... 1990 Symantec buys Norton. 2016 Avast buys AVG 2017 Norton buys LifeLock. 2019 Broadcom purchases Symantec security division and name but renamed NortonLifeLock. 2019 Accenture buys NortonLifeLock. 2020 NortonLifeLock purchases Avira through Investcorp. 2021 NortonLifeLock buys Avast creating Gen Digital as a merger. https://www.itpro.com/security/cyber-security/360540/nortonlifelock-and-avast-to-merge-in-8-billion-deal

It worked for me just putting msvcrt.dll 6.0 next to adwcleaner.exe, I didn't have to install anything. Much to my regret I have decided to install AVG 18.8 to analyze a 1 TiB disk with new content, I prefer not to try Avast 18 since I have happily installed Avast 6.0 with definitions of the year 2020. After reviewing the AVG options I don't see a default actions option. After 67% I stop the scan and see that AVG has quarantined 70 files, it has extracted small files from large zip archives (100-1500 GiB) and quarantined them. Most classify them as Malware-gen, Evo Gen, or PUP. It has also qualified as key-generator virus some open source Linux files. AVG takes the law into its own hands and decides to quarantine any key-generators, even if these are not it. I want these files, so I look for the "restore" option, but since these are files belonging to ZIP archives, it is not able to restore them. I have had to restore these to an alternate path, unzip each zip and re-include the files. OK, I hate AVG and any new program that annoys and wastes the user's time. This has qualified files as viruses that no other antivirus detects in virustotal.com, it has even detected that Thorium Browser 109 SSE2_x86, the alternative Chromium version for Windows 7 supported by Google, is a virus. Even so, I have continued investigating AVG and I see that within the folder analysis there is an option called "Actions" to establish that "no action is carried out" after the analysis. I do a test with a couple of files with suspected viruses and it works. So I decide to scan the entire USB hard drive (1 TiB). After 10 hours the analysis ends and "unpleasant surprise" I see that in 122 files with supposed viruses it has decided to send 31 to quarantine, because it feels like it, I don't see any other explanation, these don't seem like dangerous viruses. So I have to restore these back inside the zip file that extracted them. I don't remember if older versions of AVG behave this way. Do you know if Avast 18 also behaves in this way? Long live Avast 6. https://msfn.org/board/topic/182157-end-of-avast-5-6-and-7-virus-definition-updates/

I am looking better and in options there is the local and server option. How can I know which database is being used? Using it offline does not give any connection error. Edit: Report after analysis # AdwCleaner v6.047 - Archivo de registro creado 26/04/2023 en 04:50:38 # Actualizado en 19/05/2017 por Malwarebytes # Base de datos : 2017-05-19.1 [Local] # Sistema Operativo : Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 3 (X86)

The last version adwcleaner for XP is 6.047 (2017-05-19) https://download.toolslib.net/download/file/1/851?s=gP7VLih67fmmhqhqfLTpmYQR0FtB2J4p and it does not have a cloud version. In 7.4.2 before to see the error message in user32.dll I had to download and attach the dwmapi.dll v. 6.0.5384.4 to executable file.
