AstroSkipper Posted July 25, 2023 Author Posted July 25, 2023 (edited) One of my computers has two Windows XP partitions. Until now, I had installed Malwarebytes Premium 3.5.1.2522 on both. I have now changed that. I have installed Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Pro 1.75.0.1300 on one of them for a week. On older, less powerful computers, you notice a considerable difference. Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Pro 1.75.0.1300 is much more resource-efficient and lightweight. I loved to use it in the past, and now, I am able to enjoy it again. I am very happy. On more powerful computers, I would of course prefer Malwarebytes Premium 3.5.1.2522. Edited July 25, 2023 by AstroSkipper Update of content 4

As recently as June 28 you mentioned having Panda installed on one partition and Malwarebytes Premium 3.5.1 on the other. Can your loyal readers forget about Panda now? 🤔 2
AstroSkipper Posted July 25, 2023 Author Posted July 25, 2023 (edited) Hello, all loyal readers! I am very happy to have loyal readers who still use Windows XP and are interested in security programmes which work under this OS in these days. Edited July 25, 2023 by AstroSkipper 3
AstroSkipper Posted July 25, 2023 Author Posted July 25, 2023 (edited) Panda Antivirus is great, free of charge and even offers a real-time protection. I used Panda some months, was totally satisfied and didn't have any problems with it. Unfortunately, I can't install more than one antimalware programme with real-time protection in a Windows XP partition, though. And I personally prefer Malwarebytes inevitably due to my lifetime licence. And just for clarifcation, I always mean what I say or write, contrary to some others. Anyway! Ultimately, however, the mature reader must decide for himself what he wants to use or not. And this also applies to me, of course. In this thread, I only provide information and in a few cases either warnings or recommendations, all to the best of my knowledge and belief. Edited July 26, 2023 by AstroSkipper Update of content 3

Especially not if that person has given up Windows XP a long, long time ago (and apparently even Vista some years ago) and surfs the internet exclusively with an iPhone.

My Vista hardware sits in a closet awaiting a refurbishment that it will probably never get, since running Vista no longer strikes me as a good idea.

But I do love history, and Vista is definitely history. If there are any questions, these readers can and will certainly ask them here themselves!

Vistapocalypse Posted July 26, 2023 Posted July 26, 2023 (edited) In my case, Panda was removed by performing a factory restore after it bricked not only me but thousands of other users: https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-31851125 That was quite some time ago, but Malwarebytes 1.75 was already 2 years old and I had moved on to 2.x versions. Your biggest fan is actually a Vista user who I believe cares more about your politics than security software. I am genuinely interested in the software and would not write at length about a program that I never used. Edited July 26, 2023 by Vistapocalypse 3
