4.0 beta release date?

Nah I like PCAV, I never had quarantine issues but I never have a huge collection of malware on my PC. Besides my PrevX key is for my parents. I forgot to add in my last post good luck to the PrevX team as they prepare to get the beta.

 

I think the insect is called a leech.

 

Why thank you! That's the word I was looking for.

 

I'm just curious as I'm very interested in beta-testing Prevx 4.0 and test it heavily against my library of malware, Steam-games and also toy around with it using different applications...

Would it be possible to reveal the major improvements made in Prevx 4.0 compared to 3.0 so we get a sneak peek of what to expect any time soon?

 

Probably I got an uncertain feeling from this thread for no good reason at all.

As a holder of a paid license for Prevx 3 and valid for the next 24 months I am certain that this license will be valid for all development of this product without any extra charge wether the Prevx product is called 3 or 4 or 5 or 6 during my 24 month license!?

Please confirm...

Best Regards

 

What are you on about? Of course the license will be valid for the time you paid for. I'm just curious of what major news Prevx 4 will bring!

 

Not "on about" much and at least not directed towards anything you have written.

Its this entry in this thread I never thought got a clear answer:

"Presumably v4 will need a new license, so will there be a way of upgrading from an existing v3 license when the time arrives that v4 goes eventually "public" ?

There will be many people with current remaining time on their v3 licenses, so what actually happens to them ?"

So if my simple question gets that simple and satisfactory answer I am looking for and feels is the only correct answer - as obviosly you also feel is the only correct answer - I will not be "on" about anything.

edit: Will visit your home town (and my "almost" home town) tomorrow - always a great pleasure!

Best Regards

 

Prevx 4 will be able to use Prevx 3 licenses so existing users will be able to use it without a problem

Unfortunately we're still remaining very, very tight lipped about the feature set of Prevx 4 The most I can say at this point is that it is not a minor update - this is a major overhaul and massively improved approach over anything that Prevx or other vendors have developed previously

 

They say Patience is a virtue

Alright, alright! But it's so damn hard to wait for a great update when you love a program as much as I do.

 

cant wait

 

X 2! And that's not an algebra problem!

 

Will there be any change in the Free version?

 

A valid question. I think we'll see the same deal as there's currently with Prevx 3. You get detection but will have to pay for removal and prevention, just as it should be IMO.

 

Yes, I believe this is what it will be (as we haven't discussed anything different ).

We've been working on a few new features within our cloud recently which I know the forum members here will appreciate I'm sworn to silence in the meantime but am growing very excited for them

 

Actually, I was hoping that prevx offers a full or atleast a semi functional product with a trial period like most companies. For example:
1. A fully functional product with like 15 days (atleast 3 days) for the user to test. Atleast with this approach, users can actually get an idea of what the product has to offer. By restricting users from this, they'll feel that the product is a rip-off since they're not getting the chance to test which may refer (according to most users) as a poor product whose aim is to get money.

I hope prevx looks in to my suggestion.

Thanks.

 

Then again, any user is free to run Prevx in detection mode, without any time-bomb.

So, while with others users can run such apps in 15-day or 30-day trial mode, which some offer ability to remove threats and others not, after this period the applications will stop functioning. With Prevx, users can always have it running, because it will never expire. So, users can always have a second opinion running real-time, which won't remove pretty much most of the threats (it removes a few), but will at least alert them.

And, this strategy is actually better than 15-day or 30-day trials, because how will most users be able to test their antimalware apps? They won't, anyway. At least, along the ride, if Prevx detects something that their other apps don't, then they can always upgrade to the paid version.

Just my two cents.

 

I also agree with m00nbl00d

Prevx Free (detection mode only) is one of the best ways to see missed threats from user AV. Users can upgrade to paid version to remove detection. It is much better approach for Prevx (get hands on new samples via community, early detection and protection) and users (see missed/latest threats).

 

@ Boyfriend
@ m00nbl00d

I second you

 

-Edit-

I forgot to mention something else.

What I can see that could be done is to provide the full power of Prevx, say for 30-days, and then after this period revert Prevx back to the detection mode.

Xmas gift? lol

 

Yeah, that was what I meant too. They offer users a fully functional product which reverts back to detection mode after the trial is over.

 

What I know so far of what's been hinted by Prevx staff here at Wilders about version 4:

1) Will have offline protection
2) Will be aproximately 1/10 of the size it is today.
3) Will be an anti-keylogger in other applications than the browser.
4) Will probably be more informative when malware is encountered.
5) Will continue to be a stand-alone product.

What else can we confirm here?

 

#2 is half the size not 1/10 and the rest who knows?

TH

 

Our goal is 1/2 the file size and 1/10th the memory usage

 

More info please you tease
