All antiviruses became bad when they added cloud scanning. The only question you have to ask yourself is to which government you send your data to. Do you trust your government ? Or a government from another country? The reason US government say Kaspersky is bad is the same reason they say Tiktok is bad. US goverment wants the data of it's citizens. If everyone stops using Facebook, Twitter or any data collecting company that it's not US located they loose the data of their people. It's a war for your data. @Vistapocalypse I was using Eset 5 until it they stopped supporting XP. I have been too busy and haven't had the time to check Kaspersky on XP. Eset 5 was the lightest AV I've ever used. And I really appreciated their honesty when they allowed You to decide to not enable the ESET Live Grid. I quote: You will not lose any functionality in the software, and you will still receive the best protection that we offer.

I have a question. How does this work. It says it's serverless. Does that mean it's peer 2 peer ?

Some years ago I bought Office 2010 from Ebay. The package was sealed and it looked brand new but it would not activate at all. After a little while the ebay seller disappeared. I rather use it pirated than risking loosing money. I think Microsoft should sell licenses for their old software cheap.

I really like this one. It's called SpaceSniffer. I think that many Windows XP users might have a small hard drive or partition. Overtime you're loosing space and you're wondering what is filling your hard drive. SpaceSniffer scans your hard drive or flash drive and lets you know which folders have most GBs used. You can delete the complete folder from there as well. Homepage: http://www.uderzo.it/main_products/space_sniffer/index.html

Here's another software that works on XP. It's called DupKiller. Let's you scan drives or folders for duplicated files. Homepage: http://dupkiller.com/

The thing is that Renamemaster is easier to use. As you can number files and remove characters by positions etc.

Hello everyone, There is a program that I use quite often and it still works on XP. It's called RenameMaster. Basically it lets you rename all the files in a directory at the same time according to many different parameters you can set. Homepage: http://www.joejoesoft.com/vcms/108/

I have a question about that article. The article states that you can't have an NTFS hard drive that is bigger than 2TB. That if it's bigger than 2TB you have to use GPT. I bought 2 external ones last year and they came in NTFS by default.

I had XP 32 bit before on my PC and it couldn't read gpt partitions. But when I installed XP 64 it reads them fine. I don't know if whatever XP 64 has can be ported back to XP 32.

They're the same people that made windows 10 Ameliorated. I did try AME version and I must say it's really good. It's very fast and stable. There were only 2 problems. You couldn't create a user account during installation you have to use a default account called user that doesn't have administrative privilege to install some software. You have to elevate the privileges by using a bootable PE software to manage the account and fix it. The other thing was that if you use Microsoft Office you can't use anything newer than 2007 because there's no KMS to be able to activate it. Other than that it's really good and I have it installed on a laptop. I trust more these individuals than Microsoft. There's no Defender but you can use any other antivirus you want. You can check the processes that load at start. There's no virus in those Isos.

I tried all the options. Like right click documents and change location and it wouldn't work. The only way for it to work was via registry. Instructions here in case someone is having the same problem. The way it looks in the picture is how it should be. Before it said Onedrive.
-
Yea the thing is that I removed Onedrive. I tried to set the properties of the folder and set the location to default and that writes the default correct location but when I try to apply changes it says it can't .
-
Tried that bus sadly it was already set to save to C:\ I managed to create a shortcut to quick access to correct location. But it would nice if the shortcut in This PC would change as well. I changed the system to log in as a local account but the problem is still there.
-
I don't have the laptop with me now. I will check if that works when I get home. Thanks

Hello everyone, I have a question. I removed onedrive from windows 11 but when I open an explorer window and I click documents it says it can't find the location. It's because Windows 10 and 11 want to force you to save by default to onedrive. So how do I fix that when I click the documents shortcut it points to the correct location like: C:\Users\username\documents.

I see, I didn't know it was stand alone. I've seen before some other products that just depend on the Windows firewall and just offer more easier to find interface for it. So you mention the free and paid versions. You mean it can still be bought ?
-
I'm not a security expert but wasn't XP firewall not very good ? I mean if you use sphinx you can get prompts for applications yes. But is it easily bypassed since it's just using XP firewall ?
-
I have a question. Can we list software that may be discontinued but still work ? I was thinking like for example Outpost Firewall free. I think it's still better than XP's own firewall plus many free antiviruses don't include a firewall anyway.

Do you know if malware hunter works on XP 64 ?
-
I never left XP really. I have XP 64, Win 7 and Linux but my main OS is XP. I never really like going past XP. There are 2 reasons. One is Stability. Second, since Windows Vista, Microsoft f*cked audio. On XP you could have audio acceleration and EAX. Also I have a very good Auzentech card with 4 speakers plugged in. For some reason since Vista and onward the sound is heard on all 4 speakers only when using Windows Media Player. But on everything else, 2 speakers are silent. On XP that doesn't happen sound is heard on all speakers no matter what software is it. Even youtube videos are heard through all 4 speakers.

I'm a real XP user But of the 64bit version. I never tried the POSReady updates since I think they are meant for the 32 bit version.

Doesn't many software require at least SP2 to run anyway ?
