Antimalware, firewall, and other security programs for Windows XP working in 2023 and hopefully beyond

I assume that the ransomware protection won't work in any RogueKiller version under Windows XP. Same as it was in Malwarebytes Premium 3.5.1.

Well 15.8.0 didn't work either, same issue, driver not loaded.
According to the changelog, that version should definitely work with XP.
I guess all we can do is wait until they respond to @AstroSkipper's support request.
As it is at the moment, it's fine on XP for manual scanning, but if you want real-time protection, no versions that have been tried appear to work.

OK, moving on......

I've now installed Panda Dome 21.01.00.
Looks good, it installed with no problem and appears to be all working fine.
No initial signs of it slowing down the system startup, which is a relief.
It does look as if there's no free trial of the paid versions, unfortunately, which means that I won't be able to check whether real-time scanning works without paying.

Tha's why I suggested to try first version 15.0.0. If this version doesnt work either, you can forget about the 15 version series and try the 14 one.

Today, Panda Dome 18.07.04 has been automatically updated to version 20.02.01 on my Windows XP partition. At the moment, no significant delay when starting the computer. So, you have installed Panda Dome, too. How does your main interface look like? Can you post a screenshot? On my POSReady partition, no interface background images are shown, quite unlike my partition without POSReady updates. I think that there is some kind of problem in my POSReady partition.
