    Joe, another user recommended the evaluation contain something along the lines of a short-trial, either "30, 15, 7 or one day".

    What is the possibility, of say a '7-day trial' with some added functionality of the full version for all new users?

    Once again, you did mention previously, that the system can be abused. Anyway, some food for thought.

    We would like to offer all of our functionality to every user for free, but that can't be done if we want to actually sustain a business :D However, we have been discussing amending our evaluation version to include added functionality for a limited trial period (7 days or so).

    We're still discussing this and weighing out options. Changes like this require a lot of different considerations to take place and we can't just change everything on a whim, but, we are definitely looking to make Edge as logical as possible for users and to give them as much as we can.

    these considerations died in commitee when they were first brought up weeks ago. just like when Joe came out a couple/few weeks ago and proclaimed (on behalf of the commitee) that only Wilders members wanted a forum, thats Prevxspeak for "it aint happening".....https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showpost.php?p=1391410&postcount=1414 :'(

    though i would love to be wrong on this.

    One thing that might be good : would it be possible to make a full scan (for expl) when one right-clicks on the icon and selects "scan my computer" ?
    I mean, it would be great if Prevx could remember our scan settings, so we don't have to get back to the options (typing the password, etc) and select "full scan" again.

    Don't see how that is possible as IMHO this is one of the simplest and most logical piece of security software that I have seen or used...but if the Prevx team think that they can do so then 'more power to their elbow'.

    Look forward to the update and to testing it ASAP it is released :D

    The Full Scan option is really something which doesn't have to be used often at all. The benefit which it brings over a normal scan is truly marginal, and, in v3.0.1.1 and higher, if Edge ever finds any malware on your system, it will search for any duplicate copies in subsequent scans so that removes the need for a full scan.

    I do like the idea of scanning the full system when right clicking on My Computer, however :) I'll add that to the list if it is possible (some things in Windows are marginally more difficult than they would seem :D)

    Prevx Edge beta 3.0.1.9 now available.
    The layout of the GUI is changed, more 'compact' for lack of a better word with a new function 'Self Protection' with a choice of three different settings replacing the previous self protection.
    Will have a play with it later :D

    Worked for me :) I think you need to have the Beta installed to get the new Beta.

    The new GUI is great and much easier to navigate. Don't find myself getting lost in "click land" anymore. :)

    Interesting that you received that - by any chance, do you use a proxy? We've been trying to diagnose a similar problem but we've never gotten any concrete evidence to help find whats wrong.

    Nope, no proxy. Automatic updates had always worked until today. Anyway, it may have been a temporary bug.

    Kaspersky and ESET have had historical false positives against us - please make sure you are using the newest definitions from those companies and if it still detects Edge incorrectly, it would be worth contacting them to correct the false positive.

    Which version of Kaspersky are you running? Am running KIS 2009 and it is co-existing with Edge (currently v3.0.1.9) beautifully. o_O

    And speaking about 'beautifully' I agree...the new version of the GUI is the coolest and easiest to use so far! :D
