    No problem. I am sure that you probably speak English better than I would your native language.;)

    Interesting as I have been running KIS 2009 since the early beta and have been running Edge since version 2, ie, for some months now and the two have co-existed very well. KIS has never reported Edge as malware or a Trojan...so I do not know what has been happening with your system. o_O

    Anyway, looks like its is sorted out and that is the main thing!:D

    Read about a new threat called VirusDoctor.exe that Virus Total showed Prevx as one of the few to detect, but the list shows it as
    Prevx1 V2 2009.02.08 Fraudulent Security Program
    Does this mean that Edge v3 would also detect it?

    Yes :) VirusTotal uses a cutdown version of our scanner which will only find a fraction of what Edge finds, but everything that it finds will also be found by Edge :)

    Hmm, I like the revert to CSI button, but the rest of the stuff looks a little complicated - which I thought was against the principles of Edge? Maybe a little bit of "Wilders disease"? :blink: Great for us "techies", but what about the other 95% of users?

    The unbalanced icon columns look a bit painful too. Maybe if you want to start adding many options & increase the number of screens full of icons (it's easy to get lost in them) you could consider something like an Advanced UI button, something like in the Eset v3 product?

    The majority of the options haven't changed at all since the initial release of Edge, but the recent changes were:

    We separated the "Tools and Settings" menu into "Settings" and "Tools", which makes it more logical to find what you're actually looking for (Tools will perform actions while Settings will change configuration options). The interface is also "backward" compatible with the CSI interface so the added options from Edge come on top of CSI's options. The only added option was "Self Protection" which was added into its own category because we re-engineered most of the self protection so that we could give users protection while still maintaining compatibility.

    Most users wouldn't ever even go into the Settings or Tools menus so I'm not sure how we could make it any less advanced without making the GUI completely empty :D

    However, I do agree with the unbalanced options screen but the empty space will soon be filled with additional features :)

    Is it possible to add Submit For Analysis Button in GUI? Even if it takes to your website to upload there?

    We have had quite a few requests for that. Last I've heard, we're going to be making a website for this, but it is still under development. It may end up being linked under Contact Support initially, but, space providing, it may fit under Tools as well :)

    I just went to the official Prevx site and noticed that Edge for 64-bit Windows was available for download.

    Cheers.

    So now it is recommended to on the self protection at medium level with the beta version and it won't affect the compatibility with other anti-virus?? o_O

    Thanks, but I was under the impression that the new beta had some what different GUI then the current release.
    I must have misunderstood. :oops:
    Nice pic's though. :thumb:

    Same issue today : I had to install v3.0.1.10 manually. By the way, the previous version detected it as a malicious file :D

    And now here is what Prevx found on my comp (never found anything before) :

    Does Edge use more cpu if you set the heuristics to high/max? Or is there no change in cpu cycles? Thx

    Joe,
    I have Edge 3.0.1.9 reporting 3.0.1.10 as cloaked malware:eek:
    Have reported it as a FP through the GUI/cleanup page. Heuristics on High-Medium-Medium.
    Also, I had to manually download it, no automatic update.
