Please, tell me, what can happen?Īh, i changed this computer for 3 old GSM-mobiles, it's ebay value is around 50 Euros = USD, a new 80GB HD costs 8 (in words: eight) Euros on the fleamarked, and in 5 minutes i will launch the nukes i control with it in. I monitor autoruns.exe, make reg-backups (EruNT, recommended for XP), know exactly about my traffic, the email-address i signed in this board existed for less than 5 minutes, i know the birthday of my mother by heart. The last virus i might have caught was around 1998 (or was it 199?), and i'm not even sure it was one (i'm *optimizing* far too much). I'm online via the Hotspot of my android-mobile. There is not a single relevant information on it, that can be of any value for bad guys.
Slimjet 10 full#
Example: My computer (OS XPSP3, the one i'm typing this on) is full of trash, old games, apps and whatever good and / or useless software. I'm just a little unnerved by security-blabla (and -freaks). Security-discussion number 8.735.382 starts. Hello (also to my new friend, derSammler!), McMillan Thanks, too, for mentioning MyPal! 😀 This reminds me of the days of Sasser, Sober and its kind: (computer_worm)Įdit: I forgot. Running an outdated, un-supervised copy of XP is risky, though, if it's connected to the web. (like a home router or modem with firewall, port filters etc). On the other hand, I think it's fungible to have XP connected to the net ifĪdditional safety measures exist, like using Virtual Machines or a dedicated ("hardware") firewall that take action if something goes wrong For one, I understand the risk of using certain old systems in a modern web,ĭue to security/safety issues and out-dated standards. Personaly, Ive been torn between in this respect.
Slimjet 10 upgrade#
In parts it seems to be the case because many IT administrators and companies there can't or refuse to upgrade existing XP systems. Perhaps it's just a national thing, not sure. I've noticed a strong aversion in German computer forums against having XP "on-line" in these days. No offense, but this is just stupid, stupid FUD.įor give me, I don't mean "to pour oil into the fire", but. No matter which browser, that's just irresponsible. No offence, but anyone accessing the Web with XP or older should be flogged. Browsing the web without noscript is nigh impossible with Firefox on very old hardware. In fact Pale Moon was compromised for some time and unknowingly distributed trojaned versions of its browser: … -browser-hackedĭoes Slimjet require SSE2? If not I might definitely try out, although it'd need to also support noscript / ublock origin as well for an optimal experience. I agree that the Firefox forks are somewhat underwhelming.

Never found a solution, and decided to try something else. I haven't tested this aspect of it, since I all systems I currently use have at least 2GB RAM.īefore Slimjet I was using Firefox forks - Pale Moon / Basilisk (also by Pale Moon team), but grew steadily unhappy with two things - loss of compatibility with modern web on old versions and unexplained sluggishness on new versions (where the browser starts fast and gradually slows down to the point that even switching tabs feels slow). The browser is fast, but may not be as memory-efficient (Chrome was never great about memory efficiency). Vista's situation is better because Vista supports more ciphers than XP natively. On XP I have a growing number of websites that won't open due to cipher mismatches. It is based on older Chrome and is surprisingly compatible with a lot of the modern web still. I personally use Flashpeak Slimjet 10 with XP/Vista.
