Hello,
I run Windows10 Chrome -- got a malware popup when on tunein radio. Along with the following popup, a voice came on and said "your pc is infected with Malware, do not ignore this, etc:

Hello,
Yes, it required too much work to support 1.5% of users on deprecated OSes..
However according to some feedbacks it seems that it *may* run on Windows Vista. Feel free to test and share your results!
If you need an official support for those two OSes, please use MB3 instead.
Best regards,
Version 6.047 finds nothing while version 7 finds 262 elements, mostly IE registry keys + one Firefox add-on.

I had hoped that someone could have looked at my debug log and said if the problem would be fixed or support for XP was being dropped. Will the new version support XP?
Glad you solved the issue. Torch browser, unfortunately, is malware. It is what you would call Bundleware or PUP (Potentially unwanted program), usually bundled with other more used software as part to generate more file downloads and installs. In the future always select advanced or expert options when installing, usually, they are hidden after that one checkmark. Additionally, you can do regu...
Torch browser very often came along with bundles and without user's agreement. If you install it by yourself simple remove check-marks from appropriate elements.Torch browser very often came along with bundles and without user's agreement.
