Prevx constantly disabled and restarting

On a windows 7 ultimate 32 bit pc with Avast 5.1.889 and Prevx 3.0.5.220 facebook version Prevx is constantly restarting :S Everytime a new normal green Prevx icon shows up in notification area, turning into an Prevx disabled icon(green core turning black and red stop sign in right corner) and again a new spawns and if you don't mouse over the old ones they stay and you get like 30 icons on the taskbar
I'm not sure since when this is but this is the family desktop and I noticed this today. Windows updates from yesterday are not yet installed, though I'm installing them now.

Avasts reports everything is safe, and I did a scan with Hitman Pro 3.5 with early warning scoring on and that showed a clean scan.

 

It's possible that the driver is unable to communicate with the service so it is retrying the connection - could you please send me the file C:\ProgramData\PxData\csidb.csi to report@prevxresearch.com and then try uninstalling, rebooting, and reinstalling and see if this corrects it?

Thanks!

 

Hi Joe,

The new windows updates are now installed and Prevx protection got enabled and running after the installing reached 100%. Even after I rebooted to complete the updates Prevx still seems to be fine. If you'd still like to locate the problem, I've sent the csidb.csi file via email as requested.(It was located in ProgramData\PrevxCSI btw, the folder PxData doesn't exist.)

 

Glad you have got it sorted, though if I correctly understood the problem disappeared after the windows updates were installed. If so, I wonder how Prevx could be relying on Windows updates

 

It's possible that this round of Windows updates is disabling/re-enabling attached filter drivers (as I believe they've made a few kernel changes). Prevx doesn't appreciate anything interfering with it so it could very well have been due to the updates.

I've apparently been spending too much time working on products that aren't released yet Thanks!

 

Thx Joe for clarification. I really was afraid Bill has acquired Prevx from Webroot

 

I've a few customers where Prevx went haywire after the Windows updates. I used the Forceuninstall, rebooted & Prevx installed itself with no problem.

 

But the problem already started before the updates even started downloading.

 

I had the same thing happen with Prevx about a month ago. If I remember correctly I had just uninstalled one of my other real-time app, and that's when Prevx started disabling, and reenabling itself over and over again. I uninstalled Prevx, and then reinstalled it. That fixed the problem for me.
