Can I be confident that Spybot will continue for the time being to Support Processors such as the Athlone Range from AMD that have no SSE2 support. AVG has just created a update that requires SSE2 Support and as a result I have had to leave AVG and bought a licensed version (Home) to work with.
There is, as well, the concern as to the situation with XP support as well.
In anticipation ......please
 
Hello earleyscripts,

Technology changes rapidly, I doubt anyone could provide future timelines with certainty. :)

You are probably aware that Microsoft no longer supports XP and thus the XP operating system itself cannot be patched against vulnerabilities.

Best regards.

The point is that Chrome and AVG issued updates that require SSE2 instruction set as mandatory and it occurred to me that the root source of this problem is the possibility that the programmes when constructed are compiled with a compiler that only uses SSE2 methodology within and as a result kills the use of that programme on any PC that uses non SSE2 type Processors. One bright light was that Malwarebytes issued a Patch to overcome this problem. I resorted to Spybot and the Antivirus as it was still running in my PC. I was originally trying to find out if Spybot where aware of this situation and are sensitive to the issue that when Updates are issued albeit with a warning prior to upgrade that this may be a issue for some if SSE2 is now required.

I will let the team know of your concerns. :)

Best regards.
 
Thanks for your consideration and time. I have requested this not just for me but others of us with Non SSE2 CPU's that are having our PC's made more untenable because of the on rush to other technologies. I appreciate XP is old but the fact that it works and can with care be still usable for the time being then the head long rush to to faster, brighter etc PC's is not always justified at times. Time will come when we have to move on but until then ...........
 
Non-SSE2-Processor-PC and security programs

1. Spybot is running. dont forget if you have to set a whiteliste after first installation(it will disappear one must run SDPrepPos in programs-folder and Spybot. and PC must be clean
Spybot 2.4(maybe true for all XP-users.

2. since Microsoft Security Esssentials stopped with updates years ago, replace it with Clamwin. it is detecting some false positives(TFC, Canon stitcher and Thunderbird-entrees(i didnt check the latter if really false positive)
Alternative is Clamwin only(havent found a different free programm). i stopped using its sister Clam sentinel since its detecting too much false-postives. yes one can correct afterwards(only one must know how.

3. as online-scanner at the end of scan-procedures i have only found Sophos Virus Removal Tool. It will run on desktop in account with admin-rights. it didnt run in sub-partition in admin.account.
last time i run it on restriced account with admin-rights.

4. Malwarebytes
Must find out if there is still and older than mb3-setup-legacywos-3.5.1.2522-1.0.365-1.0.5292
which is running on SSE2_processor Winxp-PCs.

5. Adwcleaner is running
6. JRT is running
7. TFC is running.
Scan-procedures in this order.
1. TFC, daily
2. Antivirus Clamwin (MS security Essentials removed) there is a portable free version of Revo Uninstaller.
3. Adwcleaner
4. JRT
5. Sophos Virus Removal Tool(online-scanner)
maybe some of the other one will work when running like i described. i will try again.
-----------------------
Antiransomware
Also want to know which Antiransomware-app are still running. one does. must check on other drive.
There are workaround to make Winxp running smoother.

Problems with onlinevideos
I have video-problems in Youtube and Facebook. no chance. This is true for Firefox 45.3.0 ESR dont use 48.02 despite the fact it can be reached(updated from earlier ones). will explain below.
and on certain sites one must shut down scripts to make the site running(with restrictions). when asked what to do.

I remember Youtube running-non perfect also not perfect musicsound) when Firefox 48.02. could finally update from older one. but when i activated again Firefox-feedback, the system leaded me to a Firefox 45.3.0 ESR-instruction and installation site. if one still has older than Firefox 48.02 one can directly got to FF 45.3.0 ESR.
Why this since Online-videos will not run anymore?
Firefox was constantly very often crashing. it was unbearable dispite the fact that one will land on the last site after restart.
At the moment Firefox is also crashing but only from time to time. it all depens what work one is doing online. had a lot of windows open. it was not crashing.,

Facebook: maybe more or less terrible slow when writing. no videos! non online/offline-starts of rockets anymore.FB3D is working. VR3D done with iphone X with duallens.
Tip: older pcs from around 2004 when they were running a lot maybe have troubles, dying capacitors. i have a very long thread about GA-7N400 Pro 2(winxp and older) and Asrock aLive Dual eSata2(winxp and older, win7) in Sysopt.com forum. They were both dead at the same time! could revive both. but ASROCK died again. and it will run again. with new MOBO. maybe i will replace the capacitors on duplicate-MOBOs which were running.
