For many years now, the so-called antivirus programs have actually been antimalware programs. Therefore, malware is a generic term for any malicious software, including viruses. Generally speaking: a virus is a malware, but a malware is not always a virus. In these days, most so-called antivirus programs can not only identify computer viruses, but also trojans, worms, rootkits, exploits, spyware, and so on. I deliberately chose the term antimalware in the title of this topic. Therefore, I have decided to start a completely different thread from scratch. It is good to have such a thread full of different information for reference but there are many posts either outdated, incomplete or off-topic. Where I have previously written frequently about antivirus programs, has become rather bloated and confusing due to many informationless posts, is mainly focused on the topic of antivirus programs for Windows XP and has been completely unstructured from the very beginning. The thread " Which Antiviruses are Known for a Fact to be Working on XP SP3 as of 2019?", Windows XP is a very old operating system and a deeper knowledge of how to make it more secure is very important in my opinion. Therefore, I think it makes sense to get an overview of all the security programs still available for Windows XP. I have been thinking about that for a longer time, and then I decided to tackle this project. I hereby open a new thread on the topic of security programs for Windows XP. Antimalware, firewall, and other security programs for Windows XP working in 2023 and hopefully beyond ![]()
