Heck No!  FAR FROM !!!

We no longer user our USERNAME to log in, we use our EMAIL ADDRESS.

So if your DNS has been HACKED, then you all but GIVE the hacker your email address just by continuing to log in.

I'm sure there is some sort of "encryption" involved, but you'd have to ask the hackers if that is just as easy to hijack as it is to hijack DNS.

Maybe it is best to say it this way - we have CLEAR EVIDENCE that there *IS* a "Man In The Middle" vulnerability risk.

So it boils down to this - do you TRUST that "Man In The Middle"?  If so, keep logging in, your email is required.

 

edit:  my email hasn't been spammed.  BUT...  I've also never been hit with the DNS "redirect".

off-topic but not for the company

and a company sell this data for a lot of money to other company´s - we not talk about peanuts we talk about millions

if age and other things are also known it makes them easier to find their target group - where they then for example try to sell products related for that group

Just a headsup - I have found it's best to set "Memory Saver" to "Maximum" instead of "Balanced" (at least in WinXP); same performance, disk handling more inline with WinXP capabilities (seen as much less fragmentation of files being written at the time of Chrome caching, e.g. anti-virus logs) and no more "Out of memory" tab crashes.

You'll find the setting by going to (in address bar): chrome://settings/performance .

P.S.: It worked the first day, not anymore the second, so I changed it back to "Balanced" (tab crash every so often).

Hey there guys have a question. im not sure if it's been answered already, but i have tried googling all about this and cant find any answers anywhere specifically. Every time i open the browser, or close it i think... it keeps logging this error message in the event viewer about "garbage collector".
https://i.ibb.co/xS3dSf9H/event-256.png

id just like to know if there's any possible way to stop this from flooding the system events (application) every time i open/close the browser. The only thing i noticed is if i disabled all extensions... which i only have just 2 - "no script" and "animation policy" which stops animations from playing on most webpages. -- if i turn off both of them, then the error never seems to appear in the system event log - but just turning on 1 of them - doesnt matter which, then the error always appears like in the screenshot above.
I cant for the life of me find any answers on how to stop that message from appearing for good without disabling those 2 extensions, but is there another way though ??

Great one!  I use that too!

 

Does the below file exist in your profile?

Can you open it in something like Notepad++?

I kind of have to suspect that *any* extension causes this on your setup.

That it has nothing to do with what extension.  Install *any* extension, even just as a temporary test, and you still have this error.

I'm not getting it on my test Supermium, but it's also in a Win10 VM and not in XP.

Hopefully another XP users stops by and looks at their event viewer logs, maybe they have this issue too but just never noticed it yet.

dang umm well i dont see any "chrome" folders or that directory anywhere -cause there only just named supermium -  but i did look through them - and i turned off like "hide protected operating system files" - and turned on the "show hidden files/folders - and looked in the documents and settings\username\ - application data folders for any hidden folders and stuff, but no such thing at all, so dont see this "garbage collector.cc" anywhere. - and already looked in the main supermium program files folders and stuff, nothing there about it. unless it's really actually hidden somewhere but i dont know

I can visit an XP VM tomorrow if nobody else stops by to add anything.

A lot of Supermium users (on XP) probably never bother to look at the event viewer because everything is working so there's nothing to "debug".

Technically, I always kept the event viewer DISABLED unless I was debugging something.

I never kept it running and using processor power when I didn't really "need" it running.

about:memory - buttons GC and CC shows these words in other browsers maybe Supermium the same

 

What is the latest version for XP-SP3 running with SSE CPU (a best version of any major change build variations)

 

[kuja killer]

it just shows this when i type "about:memory" - is it named something else ??

I have the Windows event log message about garbage collection on my 32-bit XP Supermium installation too every time I run it, but it's not there on my 64-bit Windows 10 Supermium installation. Whether that's because it's a different 'bitness' or it's on a different operating system, I don't know.

There used to be a message in the event log on all versions saying that 'the client isn't registered' every time I ran Supermium, but that has now gone away.

Check if you have a "Supermium" entry in your Registry in these locations:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\Explorer\Run]

IF you have, deleting it might fix your event viewer problem.

Not there for me, and I'm not at all sure why any of them would be.

Agreed, same here.  Nobody "should" have any of those entries.  They would have had to manually add them.
