    How did you get access to v4? (Well I guess if I had to bet any Wilders member would have access to pre-betas and devs I would have to place you down on the top of the list :p )

    Quick question to the PrevX team, will non key members be able to test the beta? Will you provide beta keys?

    Something just dawned on me. You dont need patent approval to proceed and release a new product. How many times have you seen on a product patent pending. So not really sure why Prevx would say this is a hold up. It might be, but the longer it takes, the more I worry it aint happening.

    I've already clarified this: we have to apply for the patents before it is released, not have them granted (which will likely take several years).

    i have been reading these forums everyday for the past 5 years but i rarely take part in conversations, i just want to say that prevx is a beauty of a program and i am proud that it is developed in my home country.

    p.s. the level of anticipation i have for prevx 4 is the same level as when i was waiting to have sex for the second time..

    Just to support Joe's info. Patent granting is a complex and lengthy process. It begins with patent application which is subject to preliminary survey that usually lasts 18 months. After that period the responsible patent office publicly announce the official patent application with a status "patent pending". Between this and patent granting can lapse many years.

    After all these many years studying this exact possibility, someone besides myself finally sees clearly the inevitable liklihood of what could happen once the internet connnection goes down, be it malicious, deliberate, malfunction, etc.

    To be this is always been a critical problem.


    A standalone alternative is fully equipped and can meet the emergency should one arise in this manner.

    It would be nice if Prevx 4's SafeOnline could also protect the numpad digits, as it is much faster than using the keys above the alfabet keys when entering multiple or long codes/dates/licenses etc.

    Joe any word on if they fixed the issue between Vent and Prevx in 4.0 ? If not I would love to get this fixed as it is a pain ~ Snipped as per TOS ~ to talk on vent when in a IE or Firefox Window. =p

    Hi there,

    I know what Prevx4 is, a hybrid of Comodo Firewall+Antivirus and uTorrent file sharing software.. :D

    The great recent developments of Comodo Firewall tech, like sandboxing and virtualization tech, combined with the small filesize and few resource and ram usage of uTorrent.. :shifty:

    regards,

    iNsuRRecTiON

    You surely are right TH and I fully share your view ;)

    However, every development regardless a product follows a development plan which contains milestones including their ETA. I guess such a plan does exist in Prevx LTD. and everybody involved does do its maximum to keep it because the plan is a basis for market introduction, selling scheme etc. This plan also usually counts with patent proceedings, if applicable, as Joe had hinted here several times. Therefore I do believe that Prevx has more accurate schedule for Prevx v4 introduction (from alpha phase over beta phase up to live official release) than they are willing to give us here on the forum. Anyhow, I am not complaining just poking a bit :p :D

    This is why I suggested in another thread that details of such a brand new release should perhaps only be made when it's actually ready to test or use in its final form. All this speculation just creates extra work for Joe and the moderators.

    Speculations? Did you feel I was speculating? Sry you are wrong then. I just laid down pure facts as we also do some research and development and I know how it goes, nothing more nothing less ;)

    You weren't speculating, and I didn't mean you specifically. :) What I was trying to say is threads like this would not have occurred if no mention of version 4 had been made till the point it was actually ready for release in beta form at least. (See my post here and Joe's reply that follows it.) I was merely suggesting that if we get to v5 for Joe to only announce it when it is actually ready to be tested, and thinking in hindsight, that is what probably should have happened here. As it is, some people are anxiously waiting for v4 as earlier reports of a December beta release whetted some user's appetites.
