automatic browser checking

[ShijouLime]

just to post an issue here with my old browser(Firefox 52.0) under old system WinXP SP3 in the new automatic checking today.

 

It was just looping on the first screen and did not jump away. Hope this can be fixed as my PC cannot go upgrading at this moment?

Have you deleted your cookies and cache of perhaps browser needs updated?

It wouldn’t surprise me if most of the DDOS attacks are coming from zombified PCs with exactly your setup (Win XP), so it’s unlikely such an outdated and insecure OS would be allowed through the checks. 
 

You’ll just have to wait for the heavy traffic to subside and the check to be taken down to access it again.

 

Note for others on insecure OSes: As Windows 7 and 8 extended support ends next year, those OSes will likely be added to the blocks.

 not yet but I think this method would not work

thanks, I may wait in patience for this checking over first?

I’d consider putting Linux on your machine, just so that you can use the latest and secure versions of browsers (and have a secure OS). It would likely result in much better performance too. Something that’s well-supported and runs great on old hardware, such as Lubuntu or Puppy Linux.
