Introducing, The New Prevx Edge.

Hi Joe

Just to say that the update to 3.0.1.15 seemed to go without a hitch...no aborted scan or the like...justthe disappearance of the sys tray icon which came back shortly afterwards.

So far so good but I will try to give it 'some whellie' later on tonight. ;D

Great ;D Let me know if you break anything! :)

[raven211]

Grrr... Still won't update automatically or manually... :(

Hmm... really not sure what's causing your problem. If you download the beta manually and then run it, does it upgrade your install properly?

Are FP also included in the table "We find and fix threats that your current security products missed..." on prevx.com? :blink:

[PrevxHelp]

-{ Quote: "Are FP also included in the table "We find and fix threats that your current security products missed..." on prevx.com? :blink:" }-

Our FP rate is actually near 0%. If you take into account the hundreds of thousands of new files we see every day, I think the trickle of 1-2 very minor FPs here on Wilders is acceptable :)

Even if there were 1,000 FPs... every day... that would still be far less than 1%.

And trust me, if we had even 100 FPs every day, we would have some huge problems and probably no users ;D

So, if you're looking to critique statistics, feel free to +/- 1% on what we detect over other vendors, knowing that we would have been out of business years ago if we came anywhere near 1% :)

[progress]

Thank you :thumb:

I'm afraid that can't be done as these characteristics are used to help analyze/correlate samples :-[

Yes, that's always worked properly.

Also noticed that scanning files in the recycle bin - even if this is possibly supposedly fixed - doesn't work. I tested by just throwing a file from my desktop in there - an AVI-video file. Came back with 0 files scanned.

We've experienced some mixed behavior as well and are going to be investigating it closer :)

[PrevxHelp]

-{ Quote: "Hello..what heuristics setting is recommended for best detection/less fp combo?will increeasing it to high decrease system performance?" }-

It really depends on your browsing habits - many users can run on maximum with no FPs and some experience some by just moving to high. Increasing the heuristics, however, does not decrease performance.

I have just replaced Win7 and gone back to Vista. I tryed to install the liscense and it tells me Error:L044 The number of systems supported by this license has been reached How can I get this fixed. Win7 is no loner on this system.

Is there any way to turn off these little pop ups in the bottom every time a file is checked? :blink:

Sorry for my English, I am Italian
When you released the new stable version?

The new stable come this week?

Hello,
The next stable release should be coming either by the end of this week or next week. We're just finishing testing against all of the other security products on every OS but as soon as we're finished, we'll be releasing it :)

Romagnolo, although the thread in your signature is in italian, you've used some nice screenshots. Seems to be a number of members there interested in prevx. Just noticed 'eraser' from prevx is on that forum helping out. :)

Just wanna give props to PrevX Edge :thumb:

My mother got hit with a virus last night that disabled Norton, overwhelmed Norton Antibot and infected her PC with multiple trojans and rootkits. The only program I could run was Dr Web Cureit from my personal website. All other websites were blocked. Popups, fake antivirus software...wasn't able to run many applications including Malware Bytes and Superantispyware because they were being blocked.

Besides Spyware Doctor, and Drweb Cureit the only other application I was able to run was PrevX edge, and it went above and beyond. It detected the the culprits and removed them for me (bought a license). The rootkits were taken care of, I was able to browse to other security sites to run some additional scans and install further security programs. Top it off PrevX scan was ultra fast.

Lets just say it was money well spent and you guys just got a few new customers :)

Hi there, koopz! Glad to hear Edge did an excellent job for you! :) Just as a tip, if you've some of that really tough malware, always test to scan in safe-mode, or even better - get new software to help you installed in safe-mode. Malwarebytes' is one which can be installed in safe-mode. I dunno if it would've worked in your case, but it's always a MUCH higher chance that malware won't have as big effect in there. ;) So, for example, download and install Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, update it, and turn off your connection to the internet while running safe-mode with networking to prevent tough threats from redownloading when trying to remove them, then run a scan.

Hope this helps you if you run into such a situation again! ;D

That's what I would normally have done, but my Mom lives 2 hours away and I could only remote into her PC using the free LogMeIn remote software. I'm just not sure if I could remote into her PC in safe mode, so I had do everything ON the infected OS...terrible situation to be in, but Prevx made it a bit easier. :thumb:

[raven211]

Okay, I see. Good to hear it still was solved then - maybe a lot thx to Prevx. ;)

To me, this is the type of test that proves a product true abilty. Real world testing! Kudos Edge.:thumb:

Fixing, you are very fast in doing that, thanks;D

[dutchie]

Is Prevx edge a good replacement for A Squared? I have A Squared but it is a resource hog on my 6 years old computer and gives quite some false positives.

I just installed Prevx trial and was amazed at how speedy the scan was.

So do you think Prevx edge has the same functionality as A Squared, or if not, does it protect my computer as well as A Squared? The malware ids part of it is really good imo.

my security setup is:

Nod32
A squared
Mbam and SAS (free versions)
Sandboxie
Xpseconfig

OS Xp sp3

Thanks.

Dutchie,

Don't know how you configured a-squared but there are some settings which will reduce the number of pop-ups and/or use the information from other a-squard users to automatically decide to allow or block an action.
I'm running a-squared + Edge here and it's working great.

Note that this is Prevx2 which uses an older version of our detection and its an old test (and just a single threat - no product is perfect).

FWIW - the test is from InfoWorld and the whole review is here: http://www.infoworld.com/article/08/09/30/40TC-sandbox-security_1.html where we received 1st place even though we missed the single threat :)

Hi Joe

As promised posting back on 3.0.1.15.

Have to say that as far as I am concerned this appears to be the most stable version for a while. So far (and this is now a number of days) no aborted scans and no red icons in the sys tray...which were my main 'issues'.

Top hole, what! ;D

I was trying to setup/install WhoLockMe > http://www.dr-hoiby.com/WhoLockMe/index.php (Compliments of PROROOTECT) > http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showpost.php?p=1408408&postcount=178


I followed instructions and got the following message:

No File name specified.

Usage: "WhoLockMe [-m] [-f] filename"

-m : Display the DialogBox at the mouse position.
-f : Don't test if the file exists.

Since I thought DefenseWall could be interferring some how, I went into the Event logs to see when Prevx Edge Malware popup occurred, > see screenshots 1 and 2.

Then I went into Program folder and clicked on the install.bat, and got screenshot 3.

I don't really know what the problem is or where? Kind of confusing!

P.S. The file flagged by PE has been in my downloads folder since June 2008. Not a peep from PE on this file until now!

[PrevxHelp]

I did configure the settings you mentioned, but when I look at processes Prevx Edge uses 3156 kb and A Squared 94512 kb. Also, when A squared does a scan I can barely use my computer. (like I said I have an old computer)

I know I can disable the other parts of A Squared and use only the Malware IDS part of it, which, as far as I know transforms A Squared into Mamutu (corect me if I'm wrong please) , so in that case it is Mamutu against Prevx edge.

So my question remains: A Squared/ Mamutu or Prevx? Which one would you prefer in my circumstances?

[Saraceno]

In your circumstances, I'd go prevx edge and run sandboxie for your 'unsafe' browsing.

a-squared, although rock solid, is quite the heavy beast on an older machine.

[dutchie]

Saraceno, thanks. I was already taking my credit card to buy prevx edge.

Personally (and having discussed this internally), whilst a green / amber / red orb similar to Prevx2.0 might be a better choice to immediately inform the user of the Prevx system status - unfortunately it's a shared opinion that it would be a very generic icon which wouldn't at first glance be obvious that it's related to Prevx.

What we have at the moment is a happy medium / compromise of combining the CSI / Edge branding and the system status together. I could look at making the status orb in the center larger, but at 16x16 pixels there really isn't that much room to play with ;)

[3TAMMUZ]

I am also well pleased by your Prevx Edge over its performance and naturally that induced me to buy it. :thumb:

One hassle is to reactivate it after formatting and re-installing the Windows, and yet I do respect your company's policy even if it requires more from than the Window Vista activation. For your Prevx Edge's performance is exceptional.

May your Prevx run smoother over my Korean Vista Home Premium. Moreover, plz apprise me if only I can play safely my PC under the Prevx Edge's protection without any anti-virus program.

In the case of removing that file, it is the same as cleaning if you have 'automatically remove blocked files' checked.

Could you PM me a scan log from Tools > Save Scan Results? I can fix the FP from there, but it will also automatically fix itself as soon as the file ages more :) (as it is a heuristic detection based on the fact that the file is new from an update)

I need another license reset. I would think that Prevx xould tell when we uninstall the program and reinstall in another. I like to try out different versions of Vista and Win 7. I have a 15 system network and constantly switch things around. Wish you could come up with something better then me having to pm you evertime I need a change. I have purchased 3 keys so far and not sure if this will continue.

[raven211]

Crap, I really want to get updated on the betas too - what could the problem be? :( :doubt:

Also an additional question: when I've installed with the beta setup file, will I continue to get live AND beta versions all the time? Or more like supposedly so... ;D

We are working on a new system for this, but it will take some time to try out to see if it is viable or not.

You can also use our MyPrevx console to move licenses around but there are limitations in it to prevent abuse, but, in the meantime, check your PMs ;D

Hi Joe

Ditto here except I am running KIS 2009 8.0.0.506(a). Seems to have ben rock solid since 3.0.1.15...execute the update automatically without the 'dramas' of the pre 3.0.1.15 build, requested the post update scan and then scanned automatically at the scheduled time...so looks like a keeper (what am I saying...I already have a license ;D )

Spiffing software, eh, what!

I noticed somewhere , someone here in this topic saying that edge is just prevx 2.0 with just the age/spread criteria detection on..why does that not sound good to me? :O

I think that you are completely misinformed or have misunderstood. My understanding is that the technology base is Prevx2 but that under the covers all has been improved/recoded (in the same way that many products are based on...I think that this was clarified in one of the myriad posts in this thread...and so easy to miss). So one way to view it is as 'sucessor' to Prevx2 only better at what it does...much better IMHO.

A most excellent piece of software...again IMHO.

But I am sure that PrevxHelp will be along to correct any misunderstanding (once he has recharged his batteries ;D )

Maybe I've some information that will give a clue...

Just saw my Prevx icon disappear for some seconds and then it's there again with a new version number. Then when I've run beta-setup files, it's stopped working correctly - or more like at all.

Installing a driver, creating registry keys, etc. blurs the line from an actual USB scanner and a program which just installed from a USB stick." }-

Some feedback....

I finished my trial of DS & found it very unstable - often hanging the host computer.

Regarding a Prevx version for sticks, we don't need to protect the pc - we need to protect the stick! People are carrying around sticks - popping them into computers at schools, offices, internet cafes etc. They are not interested in protecting the pcs that the stick is going into, they want to protect the stick! Therefore, when they go home & pop the stick back into their own computer, they don't want to risk infecting their own pc from all the computers the stick has been plugged into.

Hi Joe

I have a collection of leaktests stored on my PC and a while back Edge started detecting one of them (TrojanSimulatir.exe). I reported this to you and if I remember you updated the records to class it as a 'Test virus'...and all has been well unitl this afternoon then all of a sudden 3.0.1.17 has detected TrojanSimulator.exe plus seven othr similar such leaktests...all stored in the same location on my PC.

I am intrigued as to why this might be? Also, have PM'd you the list of the .EXEs concerned and a scan log of the session that found them...in case you want to evaluate them and mark them as 'Test virus' or the like?

Cheers

-{ Quote: "I noticed somewhere , someone here in this topic saying that edge is just prevx 2.0 with just the age/spread criteria detection on..why does that not sound good to me? :O" }-

About three months ago, right on the edge of the Edge release (horrible pun intended ;D) we made major architectural changes to our database which have immensely improved detection. Prevx2 and Edge do share the same back end database and database-side heuristics/rules so Prevx2 is able to leverage a good deal of what Edge detects.

However, as GES/POR pointed out, that's where the similarities end :) The post referring to Prevx2's detection versus Edge's detection was talking about how they act in realtime when blocking an infection that is trying to enter. This completely ignores all of the new rootkit detection, new scan engine, and a whole host of new functionality in Edge. The 1-2 minute scan in Edge will actually find far MORE than Prevx2's 30-odd minute scan on the same system.

With Edge, we now have multiple layers of heuristics. The database is built primarily on heuristics and server-side analysis but all of that is handled "in the cloud" regardless of user settings. In Edge, we opened up some more granularity to the heuristics engine with our Advanced Heuristics, Age, and Spread detection settings. These engines are all on top of the standard detection and Prevx2 can't leverage any of those engines at all.

Moving forward we are constantly adding new features which are based on Edge's new engines and can't be 100% ported back to the Prevx2 "language" but we aren't going to just abandon Prevx2 because it does have a niche market of people who like the behavior blocking components :)

But if you want to leverage all of the benefits GES/POR outlined and more, Edge will fit your specifications :)

Windows tends to access files throughout the system when indexing data, etc. so its possible that Edge caught onto this and saw that these files might be interesting so it added them to its default scan. I'll look into marking these files as Test Viruses (begrudgingly because I am conceptually against leaktests ;D But I guess it is valid to have them identified as this ;D)

The problem with this is that there is no way to do it at the software level reliably. You'll need a USB stick with write protection at the hardware level (i.e. - a little switch on the side which locks it down). That's really going to be the best way and the only way which I would personally trust to prevent getting infected from putting a USB stick in :)

Very interesting. Well, the next beta cycle won't be starting for quite some time now *knock on wood* as it looks like we've reached stability with v3.0.1.17 but once we start unveiling more functionality with new builds, it would probably be worth starting from fresh and trying the updating again :)

Prevx Edge seems to have compatibility issues with Shadow Defender. I installed the latter half an hour ago, and then Prevx kept crashing and coming back. When I started SD it detected it as a threat.
There were crashes even after override.

I have just uninstalled SD and everything is back to normal. It's a shame they can't cohabit.

PS : I didn't even get into shadow mode.

Program Updates/Versions only, did you try to download from the GUI?

Sigs are all hosted on the serverside of PX

Probably will be available in a few hours trough the GUI, if im guessing right this is the deal with most vendors --- newest versions are not directly pushed out to plain users, instead they are downloadable on webbie's first.

If you download the newest version from the website and install it ontop of your current installation it will update just fine as said earlier by PXhelp

Hi Joe

Don't mark them as such on my behalf (sorry if that sounds big headed...not meant to be). If the Prevx approach is that they should be flagged as they have been then so be it. I can always set Detection Overrides for them if I want/feel.

So please go with the Prevx view. ;D

To PrevxHelp
Today Edge was updating to new version , I get every ok to my Comodo Defense+ but at one moment everythig crashes, blue screen of Windows and this error message about PXARK.Sys : Driver Unload Without Cancelling Pendings Operation etc.....
Rebooting PrevxEdge does not exist on my pc ???
I download a new version 3.0.1.17 to the Prevx site and now everything seems ok, no need to insert my edge licenses cause she was automatic downloaded I thik

Sorry for my bad english

My system is XP Pro, with Avira Free, Comodo CIS 3.8 with Defense+enable, Edge was setting with autoprotection enable (no password protection for edge setting)

I tell you this for your check
Thanks

[ctrlaltdelete]

Romagnolo1973,
There was an issue with pxark.sys on some machines when uninstalling Edge.
The file pxark.sys is not used anymore in Edge, so i'm pretty sure you will not see this error again ;D
I don't know exactly in which Edge version\build pxark.sys was replaced, at least 1 month ago it was replaced in the Beta's i tested.

False positive fixed ;) It was a heuristic detection. Check if the file is still being blocked. If so, check detection override rules in your configuration :)

fwiw-i just seconds ago ran SD ver 1.1.0.275 on xp pro sp3 machine, they get along fine here (Edge .17). i have had SD since around 10-2008, and Edge since i was given an early beta, and never any indication of incompatibility between the 2.

probably not helpful, but when i saw the post i wanted to ensure Edge .17 wasn't causing problems previous versions had not.

Thanks for the information :) Our tests today were inconclusive - we installed SD and did encounter an issue but after rebooting everything was fixed ???

After that, we couldn't reproduce it at all on any system.

[Saraceno]

No problems between the two either. :)

Sorry if this has been asked and answered before (I don't want to read through 50 odd pages of posts), but I'm running Vista with the sidebar on. When the 'authenticating' box pops up in Prevx, it comes up behind the sidebar window and so is very hard (or impossible) to read.
I've moved that box from behind the sidebar window but the next time it pops up, you guessed it, it goes right behind the sidebar window again. Arrggghhh...
Is there any way of making that 'authenticating' window remember where it was the last time? Or can the Prevx programmers make a change to the program so that it is 'sidebar aware'.
Look forward to your response ... anyone.

We intentionally send the scanning message to the absolute back of all of the windows as it is meant to be kept out of the way of the user. The window only contains a filename and generally shows for less than a half second or so and can just be ignored. If an item is actually found which requires attention, Edge will show a large warning in the middle of the screen :)

[OliverK]

Thanks Prevx Support. Wow, what a quick response.
I can understand what you're saying about putting the message box to the back of other windows, but it would be nice for those users that actually want to see what's being scanned, to be able to do so. At the moment they have no choice. That's a shame.
Can I suggest you reconsider and at least give an option to make all information boxes clearly visible.
Otherwise, an outstanding product.

I've added it to the list ;D We do have some functionality to add for the scan popup still (i.e. - right now you can't disable it :)) and this additional functionality will be coming in a release in the near future :)

Then it's probably just me, lol. I'll try it again, anyway. Out of curiosity, what's your self-protection level ?

EDIT : well, I have just tried it again, and same problems : much slower on start-up, Prevx disactivated and back again (low self-protection), and so on. I think I just won't use SD any more, lol.

on Edge .17 the setting is medium, on previous versions it was either default or disabled. up until just 2 days ago i was using Outpost Pro 2009 FW and Avira Free, both now gone. Outpost was a little twitchy with Edges self-protection. now using OA Free and no Avira.

what other security apps are onboard your machine?

OSS 2009, but now they work great together. And without Prevx, I can use SD with Outpost without any issues.

-{ Quote: "OSS 2009, but now they work great together. And without Prevx, I can use SD with Outpost without any issues." }-

have you updated OSS to the latest release? would you consider, just for giggles uninstalling OSS (temp)? i think the latest update could be unstable. i had all sorts of problems attempting to use that update, including FDISR not working (VSS would not start).

merely a thought, however.


Mike

Well, I have had no problem with the latest version so far. It does not conflict with anything, even with SD, lol. It works great alongside Prevx Edge anyway.

Nope, it specifically stated, "Normal price is $29.95. You pay $10.00 off, final cost is $19.95". We're talking U.S. dollars, nothing else. Anyway, I solved the problem by renewing 6 months early on 1 machine, but renewed for 1 year for 2 computers and came up w/a terrific price. My deal is DONE, but if I come across that ad, will definitely post the link!

To PrevxWebDesigner, Joe stated the tray icon can not be made bigger, but, can the pale color of green be changed to be more like the green of Prevx. A little more pronounced.

Maybe - as long as you change your avatar so it isn't using the old Prevx logo ;)

in "my" italian thread about Edge some KIS2009 users said that KIS does not want other products in realtime and then they use Edge in CIS version to avoid problems.
There are any incompatibilities between KIS and EDGE running their own realtime ?

There are no known compatibilities between KIS and Edge, but for some reason KIS will refuse to install if you have CSI or Edge already installed (we've reported this to them). However, if you uninstall CSI/Edge and then install KIS, you can install CSI/Edge on top of it without any problems :)

Kis users reported problems concerning slow system on Vista 32 bit with PC clean ,fresh install.
Edge is in the whitelist of Kis (esclusion mask they said, I don't use Kis) , but the system is slow even on pc as:
acer 6292 cpu 4 giga ram cpu T7500
Asus 4 giga ram, cpu q6600
Vista Business 32 bit

No problem on the same with XP, but with Vista the system is slow and repeat this is on new installed system and Edge in the white list.
Someone with the same problem ? Can you check again Kiss + Edge on Vista pkease ?

Just the opposite for me. I'm just started running KIS2009 with Edge on a Vista 32 machine and it's running as light (if not lighter) as any other combo I've tried.

My only issue was as quoted elsewhere I had to uninstall/reinstall Edge to install KIS.

I think you have the free version, in this case Edge will identify threats in realtime or during a scan, but will not prevent them from loading or removing.
For complete features (block and removing malwares) you need the Pro version.
If you have a payed version Pro you can easily remove malicious software

Edge is a CIPS based on comunity database; here (http://www.prevx.com/prevxedge.asp) more information about the program

Edge still seems to be monitoring after right clicking it's tray icon and disabling?

Still picked up the install of a new rogue AV but didn't flag the installer.

[Baldrick]

Hi Franklin

That is interesting! I cannot reproduce this behaviour how ever hard I try. Are you using the latest build (3.0.1.17)? Once you had selected the period of time to suspend Edge did you then click 'Stop Edge Protection' again? A silly question I know but I have done this, ie, failed to do that and therefore Edge was not disabled. :wacko:

[PrevxHelp]

-{ Quote: "Edge still seems to be monitoring after right clicking it's tray icon and disabling?

There are two levels of being disabled in Edge - you can enter Install Mode (which is the default) or you can completely disable Edge if you click the dropdown box. Install Mode will just disable the age/spread/advanced heuristics but leave on the main protection of Edge.

No it wouldn't. Edge does not scan archives as the files cannot actually infect your system from the archive so we don't bother scanning them.

I totally quote.

When I read some comparatives where people test antimalware software against active and inactive rootkits, then I really don't understand what would they show.

I can understand antimalware sw against active rootkits: you're able to test the technology used against rootkit's hiding techniques.

But why doing a specific test against inactive rootkits? They are as malware as the other ones tested in the comparative. I could still understand if the comparative was intended to be done against specific categories (trojan,worm,backdoor,rootkit), but I've read (and I still read) comparatives where the categories tested are generic malware AND inactive rootkits.

What is the exact goal of testing inactive rootkits outside the generic malware category?

This is correct :) If a piece of malware is sitting in an archive there is nothing it can do to your system. You would first have to extract the file from the archive, where it will then be found :)

Other antivirus products do scan through archives to protect gateway email servers primarily but for a consumer it is largely unnecessary.
