An antivirus for Windows XP focusing on diagnostics and user choice. Free, forever, no spyware, no bloatware, open-source, light, maximum compatibility.
A bunch of modules that help you stay safe on your legacy (and modern) Windows
SentinelXP will have compatibility with all Windows versions from 95 to 11, including: 95, 98, 98 SE, 2000, ME, NT 4.0, XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, 10, 11 and after I believe this is possible thanks to the dependency packaging skills I aquired thanks to BookwormVB

Development in C++ was started on April 13th, 2025, by C0m3b4ck, with an XP-only version intended. Development resumed on January 27th, 2026, by C0m3b4ck, using VB 6 and a cross-compatible version intended.
Code
As of now, there are no more contributors than the original author.
Simply make a contribution here, on Github. Another, better way, would be to send me links to malware repositories and hash databases so that I can train the antivirus on them. You can also inform me of your experience and any bugs that occur.

We are not viable for any damages you sustain due to malware or this program. However, we will try to help you recover and fix any problems you encounter. The best antivirus is staying vigilant with what you do on the internet, especially with what you download.
Portable version Just unpack the compressed archive, then run SentinelXP[versionhere].exe from the unpacked archive.
Load the VB6 project into Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 IDE, then go to Project -> Compile.
