  1. Dude I read that link. You're only strict sometimes. Anyway, what I wanted to know is from people that actually have that installed in their systems. Since I never heard of this application before. Things like this: 1- Does it run in the background all the time ? Or can you end the process? 2- Do you have to run it before installing before installing Panda ? 3- Does it affect performance in any way ? Sorry I wasn't more specific.
  2. Actually Panda didn't work on Windows 7 32 bit for me either. Errors with dot net as well. Anyways you mentioned you got it working on XP64 by installing application verifier and dot net 4. I never heard of this application verifier. What does it do ?
  3. It's logic. All of them do. Even Windows does it. Windows reports to NSA and everyone here uses it without complaining. But NSA are the good guys right? It's just the equivalent to the Russian intelligence but American version. https://www.denverpost.com/2013/07/11/microsoft-gave-nsa-access-to-user-information-guardian-reports/
  4. Actually the computer I was trying to install Panda was Windows 7 32 bit. And it would download net framework 4 but fail to install all the time. However I downloaded net framework offline redist from MS website and the framework installed without errors. But Panda Setup wouldn't work anyway. I installed 360 Total Security instead. No issues at all there. My main OS is XP 64 though. And it seems Panda doesn't work there. I wonder how many AVs do work on XP 64. In the past I was using Eset 5. And with a trick I managed to keep the definitions up to date even after support for XP ended. All the way to april 2022. Now it can't get definitions at all. Eset however is now forcing users to keep more recent versions of Windows 10 and Windows 11 or else it says it can't get updates because Azure compatibility.
  5. You have to leave all of the versions for better compatibility with all software. Let's say you have a program that runs on .net 2.0. Even if you have 4.0 it will keep asking to get 2.0. Same thing with Visual C Redistributables. It's best to have all versions. If you have XP64 like I do you need both 32 bit and 64 bit versions of them as well if they're available. Of both .net and visual C.
  6. I know that. I just wanted to know if the problem was present in XP as well. Which is what I clearly asked and NotHereToPlayGames confirmed it works.
  7. Has anyone tried Panda recently ? I tried it on a Windows 7 computer and it wanted me to install netframework version 4. It said that setup would download and install automatically but it always fails. I installed netframework 4 manually with the offline redist and the framework installed fine but Panda setup still wouldn't work. I don't know if this problem happens with XP as well. I know that netframework 4 is the last version that XP supports but it's not even in the requirements in the Panda website.
  8. Thanks for the tutorial. I think that it was also possible to make a bootable XP 64 with diskpart from Windows 7 and it works as well. I haven't had the need to do it so much because I have an external Blu ray drive but I think the process was easier. I don't remember ever needing a USB driver to be able to run setup. But maybe it's because my motherboard is newer. Anyways it's been so long since I had the need to do it. My XP 64 install was from 2017 and I haven't needed to reinstall Windows since then. All I know is that there was an easier process to install. Just don't remember exactly what it was. If I have time I'll check it out. By the way. You're right about the Sata-Achci drivers. I just included them With Nlite.
  9. I second that. Been using XP 64 for years. The process for making USB bootable in XP 64 is the same as XP 32. Driver support was bad at first like it was for Vista 64 at first. You had to throw out printers and scanners that just didn't want to make a 64 bit driver. But after the 64 bit adoption period ended XP 64 has more or less the same driver support as 32bit. Sure if you use hardware from 2001 it might not have 64 bit drivers. But my motherboard from 2014 has all the drivers for XP 64 bit. I can vouch that XP 64 is even more stable than 32 bit because it's based of the Server version. It simply never crashes. Tutorial here:
  10. Another thing about 360 Total Security is that you should install the offline engine as well because the cloud engine doesn't detect Eicar to check if the realtime protection is working.
  11. You know I always wondered why Wilders Security Forums don't allow posts of This Antivirus Vs this Antivirus. After what I see here, now I know why. It leads to nonstop bickering. We have to allow people to make their own choices. You can't force people to like your favorite antivirus. All we can do as I said before, is list all antiviruses that work with XP. And let people decide whatever they want to use. In the end you test and decide what you want to use. Years ago I used to use Rising antivirus. It didn't do well in tests. But I liked it because it had a very easy to configure HIPS. You could set it to block programs from being added to startup and prevent any Browser Helper Object from being added and Prevent homepage from being changed among other stuff.. That alone helped me a lot. I used it myself and I put it on some of my clients computers. My clients were happy with it. I didn't let the thought of "If it's from China is bad" cloud my judgement. I just tested it and see if it worked. I would send malware samples to them and they were added quickly. I used it until they discontinue the english version. In conclusion test for yourself. Don't let anyone, not even a magazine review tell you what to use. After all, opinions can be bought. You have to test for yourself and make an informed decision.
  12. It's one of the reasons I'm not a technician anymore. It's different in a corporate environment. You can't just take the easy way and format the computer to solve problems. There's a lot of configuration and data to be lost that way. I fix computers occasionally but it's just regular people that I can just save their photos or music collections and then paste it back after a format.
  13. In 2018, on my boss computer, he was running an old version of Avast that was unsupported. I don't remember if it was 5 or 6. I remember that when I removed it all hell broke lose and I had to reinstall Windows. Basically many programs just failed to start after removing Avast. I don't know if it was related to self protection or if it just removed some dotnet or visual C files.
  14. Well I've never used sync software but I have used backup software. Maybe Cobian Backup can suit your needs ? You can tell it to copy the files to a directory on another computer. If you don't compress it technically I think it will behave like syncing as it will just copy the files. You can set the time of backup. https://www.cobiansoft.com/cobianbackup.html
