Hi AndrewSM36: Does Webroot Secure Anywhere v9.0.31.84 require any modification to a "plain vanilla" Vista SP2 OS patched to end of support on 11-Apr-2017 (i.e., does it run on OS Build 6.0.6002.x)? Your 25-Mar-2022 post in Best Windows Vista Anti-Virus regarding v9.0.29.62 states "i installed the sha2 updates, but i havent installed the extended kernel", so I'm guessing you installed the Windows Server 2008 updates KB4493730 (April 2019 Service Stack Update) and KB4474419 (Sept 2019 SHA-2 Code Signing Support) at some point in the past and currently have OS Build 6.0.6003.x.

Vistapocalypse Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 On 10/3/2022 at 12:30 AM, WinClient5270 said: I did quite a bit of work on Antivirus/Security section. Unfortunately, the options for Vista have only dwindled over the course of 2021 and 2022 ... Reviewing this section, I noticed that Emsisoft and McAfee are still listed, the former with a notation that definition updates ended in 2016. As VistaLover pointed out in a March 31, 2021 post, definition updates for the legacy versions of McAfee ended January 1 of last year. Of course he provided an official link for this bad news. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinClient5270 Posted October 6, 2022 Author Share Posted October 6, 2022 (edited) The Web Browser plugins & Instant Messaging sections have been redone.

Removed Adobe Flash Player & Adobe Shockwave Player as both have been discontinued and are no longer supported by Adobe. Amended information regarding Java SE 8: support has been extended to December 2030 from December 2020 (security updates only), according to this roadmap by Oracle. Renamed "McAfee 2015 product suite" entry to McAfee 14.0 R1 as last version for Windows Vista (according to this article). Removed Dingtalk as it no longer works on Windows Vista and no older versions are available from what I can find, unfortunately. Added information about ICQ: must use "Windows XP" installer, Windows 7 or later version doesn't work. Removed ONG status from Linphone; added Linphone v4.1.1 as last version for Windows Vista. Removed ONG status from Mumble; added Mumble 1.3.4 as last version for Windows Vista. Removed ONG status from Quassel IRC; added Quassel IRC 0.12.4 as last version for Windows Vista.

WinClient5270 Posted October 8, 2022 Author Share Posted October 8, 2022 Work on Email Clients and PDF Viewers sections is now complete! Thankfully, most entries still have ongoing support for Vista, so not too much was lost this go around SUMMARY OF CHANGES TO THE LIST FOR OCTOBER 6, 2022: Removed ONG status for Claws Mail; added Claws Mail 3.16.0 as last version for Windows Vista. Added UNS status for Pegasus Mail, since the official website claims that only Windows 7 or later are supported, but it continues to work on Vista, fortunately. Removed Open Live Writer from the list, as the latest version does not work for me on Vista, throwing an APPCRASH error upon attempting to launch. I tested the software on build 6002 as well to insure it wasn't broken with build 6003, and the error occurs there as well. The software appears to be abandoned anyway (no updates since 2017). Removed ONG status from Foxit PDF Reader & Foxit PhantomPDF; added Foxit PDF Reader & PhantomPDF v9.2.0.9297 as last version for Windows Vista. Removed ONG status from Nitro PDF Reader/PDF Reader Pro; added Nitro PDF Reader v10.x as the last version for Windows Vista.

However, I added a download link for convenience Hey friend, I was aware of that. I was meaning to say that version 5.9 is where Vista support is dropped, I didn't mean to request removing Winamp from the list. Sorry for that. Anyways, here are some software I tested that works on Vista: Adobe Digital Editions, the latest version is 4.5.11, works on Vista, even if system requirements say Windows 7 as the minimum OS. Process Hacker, the latest version is 2.39, works on Vista. There are nightly builds of Process Hacker as well, but they don't work on Vista. They need Windows 7 at least to work.

mina7601 Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Also, since you are back to updating this topic again, why not update the Extended Kernel version of this topic as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does not fully work; the optional kernel mode component is missing function ObGetObjectType. I hope to add it soon. The other important function in the newer releases is technically kernel mode as well: NtQuerySystemInformationEx. I have some compliant functions like KeQueryLogicalProcessorRelationship but I may need to add additional classes or refine existing ones for that to work as it should. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
