Future Changes to Prevx

This statement is very inaccurate,

prevx DOES have behaviour-based detections, ive been adding rather a few samples to Prevx over the past week due to these types of detections, as heuristics/cloud had failed with the detections.

undetected zero day samples would execute for a few minutes/seconds etc and THEN prevx would alert me about the missed detection due to their behaviour.

Prevx were one of the first to use the cloud, use these methods of detections many many years ago, and only NOW, some antivirus's are trying their products out with these.

so the way i see it, Prevx has quite a few more years experience in these matters than all the rest.

 

This is interesting.
But after minutes/seconds maybe it is too late , malware could already have done the harm.
Maybe there is a kind of virtualization or sandbox?

 

No, some samples are not quick to activate and slow to get going, this is what I meant by minutes/seconds,

Detection occurs on its behaviour, each sample is different, but prevx is very good as a behaviour blocker for undetected samples, I wouldn't worry too much about this,

Like I said, prevx as had these technologys long before many others, they know what they are doing.

What you won't see is prevx asking the customer to allow/deny everything as this isn't great.

 

Do you have a rough timetable for the release of version 4?

Will it be this year oder next year? Or 2012?

 

Our goal is to get it out this year. We have a load of exciting technology coming behind it (and, as usual, we're being quite tight-lipped about it for now ) so it will take some time to complete everything but we're looking to spread the testing of it further, possibly by adding in some of the functionality to Prevx 3.0 as well in the transition to 4.0.

I'll keep everyone here updated as we make progress!

 

Sounds exciting. I do hope it is as light on resources and quick to scan as the current version.

 

I think it will!

 

Our current plans have Prevx 4.0 coming in even smaller than 3.0

 

Doublication

 

Excellent.

 

I would like to see a "scan override" option so that i can define areas which PrevX do not scan at all!

 

advanced scan > custom scan.

 

No, i meant the on-execution scanner.

There is a "detection override" function but the files are still scanned but not detected.

But i want them not to be scanned!

 

Understood This is a reasonable request and I'll see what we can do to get it in place without slowing down the operation of the scanner!

 

Very good!

 

+1.

Easy off/on is needed (by me, at least) because I only use SOL when doing serious schtuff.

 

Right click menu in system tray contains "Stop protection". But this is called "Suspend protection" in main GUI. Change both to "Suspend protection". Use stop protection on the next screen that appears (as now in the main GUI).

 

When you click the SafeOnline icon and click configure, it automatically adds the current site to max protection, please remove this, if I click configure I want to configure, not add a site, there is already a add protection button for that.

keep up the good work with this great product

 

Would it be a good idea to implement a backup scanner, say Ikarus. Double Protection for online and offline

 

it will defenitly very good idea to have active process activities within prevx and be able to take control in case of bypass and more control to the pc's activities

 

Could you please support comodo dragon browser?

 

Very much doubt this would happen, the four major browsers will be the ones supported and if, if they were to add another, it would probably be safari

 

No I don't want some bloated piece of software! If you want something like that just add a free AV such as Avast or AVG!

TH

 

Yes indeed since Prevx is currently developing a Mac version so I don't see why they wouldn't since Safari is the standard web-browser in Mac OS X

 

hell no!

I will ditch prevx the day they start to use multiple engines,
