I would not discard Panda as a viable AV just because of the icon.
#AVAST FREE BROWSER FOR XP SOFTWARE#
It is better to use something like the Task Manager or Process Explorer (easier to see) to check.) Avast 18.8 is the last version for Windows XP and Vista Martin Brinkmann Security 20 Security giant Avast Software published version 18.8 of its consumer-oriented security products for Windows recently. (More generally it can be a bit random which Notification Area icons re-appear after an Explorer restart, but this does not necessarily mean that the underlying program is no longer running. So I think that the Panda AV does continue to run after an Explorer restart, but the icon does not re-appear. Then I opened the console “PSUAMain.exe” (the thing that the notification icon relates to) and again re-started Explorer and the console remained open and functional (I could check for updates) afterwards. I re-started Windows Explorer and these 3 things remained running throughout and afterwards, but the Panda Notification Area icon is no longer visible. I opened Sysinternals “Process Explorer” to see the 2 Panda services “PSUAService.exe” and “PSANHost.exe”, and the console executable “PSUAMain.exe”.

I'm also using MalwareBytes Anti EXPLOIT Beta, in which you must manually add MyPal.exe to the list of SHIELDED items.įinally, I trust that you're using SOME anti-virus which is still XP-compatible, obtaining signature/definition updates on at least a daily basis.As a Windows 7 Panda AV user I was intrigued by your sentence “I made my Explorer crash to see if Avast reloads itself, it did it, Panda didn’t.” I've also disabled TLS 1.0 and 1.1 (but be careful if you do so, and remember it, just in case you ever need to view a site that doesn't support the newer protocols): These next 2 items are slightly more technical, and you have to decide if you feel comfortable implementing/using them: (Be advised that some sites will detect the ad-blocker, and tell you that you need to disable it to view that site.) uBlock origin serves to block some "bad" sites, as well as many advertising sites.
You can decide for yourself if you'd like to try/use either. (3) And this one is very important once you load and start Avast it will ask you to download a Microsoft Windows XP.

(2) Install a good web browser that supports XP such as Baidu Spark Browser (very similar to Google Chrome browser as it's built on the Chromium engine). I've added two security-related extensions to MyPal: (1) Install a good anti-virus such as Avast free, which still supports XP. But here are a few thoughts you might consider: I don't know your level of expertise, and how comfortable you are "tinkering" with things. I'm not sure how much important/"sensitive" work (if any) you do on XP - I also have a Win10 system as my primary workstation. The current version of MyPal is 28.8.4 (but I believe that 28.9.0 will be released "very soon"). I've only been testing/using it for a day so far, but it appears to be a welcome addition to XP, given that IE, FF, and PM are no longer supported there. They offer both a 32-bit as well as 64-bit version. Mypal operates identically to Pale Moon with some minor exceptions. The goal of Mypal is to provide a current, secure, and reliable web browser for Windows XP.
#AVAST FREE BROWSER FOR XP CODE#
Mypal is based on Moonchild Productions' Pale Moon code, which itself was forked from Mozilla's FireFox code several years ago, but is also maintained and kept current. Mypal is a current and maintained Windows XP web browser. It's called MyPal, and it's based on PaleMoon. With that being said, for anyone who still maintains an XP system: I just "discovered" a browser which runs on XP, and is still supported (to the extent possible, given any limitations forced upon it by the XP operating system). official support ended several years ago. First off, let me stress that I do ***NOT*** advocate anyone going "back" to XP at this time.
