• - No XP Security Updates? Run Time Freeze - Review

    With all things considered, Time Freeze is a must-have application for
    any computer users, whether they frequently experiment with new
    programs on the PC or not. Thanks to the fact that it is so easy to
    install, run and control, Time Freeze can be started before any
    activity to make sure the computer will remain safe at all times.

    Fine if it works for you but it seems like a
    clunky solution to me. You're basically making
    your system read-only to avoid malware. Why
    not just be more careful?

    That is such an astoundingly ignorant answer it doesn't deserve a

    I've been running XP for 14 years without an infection. No
    resident AV (I do an overnight monthly scan with Kaspersky's Rescue
    Disk, just in case). No time freeze.
    Simple safe hex and you're safe.
    I agree with Mayayana on that.

    :) Funny how it's always people who don't know what they're
    talking about who choose bombastic insults oover reasoned
    argument.

    You're talking about running extra software, to render
    your system essentiually read-only, then you download files
    onto a USB stick and employ the AV you think is junk to
    see whether it's safe to save. It's a Rube Goldberg solution.

    On top of that, the software comes from China and you
    just showed up out of nowhere to push it. So there's
    no shortage of reasons to be dubious.

    I've never had malware. I haven't used AV since about 2000.
    I'm careful with email and rarely enable script online. That's
    where the main problems are. If you mostly just do email and
    web browsing, you're happy losing all changes with every boot, and
    you trust the Chinese, then I suppose your approach could make
    some sense. But if you're going to lock yourself out of your own
    computer then what's the point? You may as well use a chromebook.

    You _do_ know that Windows Security Essentials https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Security_Essentials the version of what’s now called Windows Defender, runs on XP? (There was something else called Windows Defender on XP. It was anti-spyware.) It is perfectly possible to run XP without 3rd-party antimalware, if you know what you’re doing...
    Oh. Wait. You’re an idiot and have no clue about pretty much anything and everything.

    Note that Microsoft, in its ongoing campaign to kill off XP, doesn’t
    support WSE anymore. WSE is still useful, though, in combination with other free utilities, most of which _are_ still supported. Even on XP. Because several of those utilities are developed by people who use XP, still, and who will have to have XP pried out of their cold dead hands, no matter how much Microsoft (and vile idiots such as yourself) whine.

    Damn but you’re vile, ol’ yellowstain. You continue to plumb new depths
    of vileness, in so many ways.

    My machine is modern. 64 bit.
    Windows XP Pro 32 bit. I run a lot of stuff in RAMDisks to use
    the excess RAM.
    No malware detected by Kaspersky Rescue Disk(which will run on

    It's just a small registry entry. If you bought it, it's

    You're a special kind of tech dumbass aren't you. XP corp edition
    doesn't do activation. It can still be installed and used.
    Depending on whether or not he's got a true oem or a marked oem
    or a retail or Corp decides if there is any ms required
    activation.

    Please stop giving unsound advice. You sound like snit when you go

    Personal attacks from those who troll show their own insecurity. They
    cannot use reason to show the message to be wrong so they try to feel
    somehow superior by attacking the messenger.

    They cling to their attacks and ignore the message time and time again.

    Great. Another tech dumbass adds their two cents. Class is in

    Did you make it to the comments as you "skimmed" what you thought

    You're a special kind of tech dumbass aren't you. XP corp edition
    doesn't do activation. It can still be installed and used.
    Depending on whether or not he's got a true oem or a marked oem
    or a retail or Corp decides if there is any ms required
    activation.

    Please stop giving unsound advice. You sound like snit when you go

    Also there's still 32bit versions of av and am available with
    updates. Stop writing from your ass, you fucking

    I have a nLite backup on DVD(s). Plus a few useful extra
    patches.
    I can re-install any time I want. Though I've NEVER had to
    re-install. LOL. Unlike BD, I practice safe hex.
    I do frequent image backups. HDs eventually crash.

    This HD still has my DOS 6.2 from the 90's on the D:
    partition. Though you have to tweak the registry to run 16 bit apps on
    XP.

    DOS --> Win31-->Win311--> Win95-->Win98--> Win98SE--> XP
    I've always saved the old OS in a folder before updating.

    You and BD should do some sort of tech course.
    ANYTHING computer related will be a win-win. If you can
    convince snit to do it too, you might get a volume discount.
    HTH

    I have two multi-seat licenses for XP, one a ‘business’ and one an ‘education’. Both still work to reinstall from the DVD or the ISO.

    As I Said Before
    You Can Installed

    My versions were SP3, the ISOs were patched to the latest patches before MS dropped support. I don’t need to update them.

    That depends. You could still get fully patched XP installs from Imagine (formerly Dreamspark); MS parks every single OS from DOS 6 there, for educational purposes. That’s all versions of DOS from 3, Win 1-3.x, Win 9x, ME, NT 3.51, 4, 5, XP, Vista, 8.x, 10, Server 2k, 2k3, all the way to 2019 (no 2022 as of the last time I looked), plus various versions of Exchange Server, SQL Server, more. They’re official installs from MS, license keys and all, and they still install. Even DOS 6, assuming you can find floppies to drop it on, and a computer which can run it. The last machine I have which has a working floppy drive is a beige G3 Mac; I dumped the images for DOS 6 to the Mac and built floppies... a long time ago. Haven’t found a machine which will install DOS 6, though. Too old.

    Of course, you have to get access to Imagine, which ain’t simple.


    You can also patch WinXP using your wsusoffline stick.
    You were supposed to make one of those, around EOL for
    WinXP, so the files would still be available at that time.
