Prevx Home Edition - free

Hey - There's an update out v2.0.9.8.

More security settings too

Needs a reboot though, and you need to allow the Update process to go through again after the reboot.

 

Where can I download PG from. I hope it will work with my Sygate firewall as it sounds well thought of.

 

Woohoo! It's using less memory now (total of about 5MB) and they added at least one of the things I suggested recently (DLL protection, not that I'm the only one that asked for it, I'm sure)

 

Mine won't update, it gets to the reboot point, then gives errors like insuffecient rights, and cannot contact the prevx service

 

Mine hung up when I told it to quit . It didn' quit ,but it wouldn't run. I tried remove and it didn't like that either. I had to go to my startup program to keep it from starting. Then rebooted and removed it.

 

After updating and restart:

 

I get that one too gerardwil

 

I am going to uninstall prevx en try a fresh install

 

I wonder if the new install will contain the update??

 

I fixed it! First I tried to uninstall Prevx completely and then reinstall it with nothing running in the background, like NOD32, LNS, etc., but to no avail that didn't work either. After poking around my computer for a bit I decided to take a look at my WinXP services that I had running, and noticed Prevx Agent loaded and running, even with Prevx uninstalled! Well disabling it did not help either because I still could not install it properly. The solution is to remove the service from your services. How do we do this? load up regeit and navigate to
Hkey_Local_Machine\System\CurrentControlSet\Services and look for prevx agent and delete it, then voila! no more prevx listed in WinXP services.

 

Yes it does, if you redownload it from Prevx.

 

I had the same problem on both mine and my girlfriend's machine. I just uninstalled it, reinstalled, updated, and it was fine. I was running into some problems with this kind of thing previously, hopefully this update will fix it. Oh the joys of beta software

 

Redownloaded ,updated and all seems fine.

 

I never had a single problem with prevX right from the time i downloaded it.

 

Hi folks,

First, Im very sorry to hear you're having problems with updating Prevx
to 2.0.9.8. We try to solve the issues we are having as soon as possible.

Can you verify, that a fresh installation of Prevx Home (instead of an update)
works for you all?
We have known issues regarding support of multiple users and access
permissions on a system.
Especially limited user account under XP and Windows2000.
Can you let me know what account you are running Prevx on?
(Admin, PowerUser, LimitedUser, Guest?)

Your help is greatly appreciated and thank you for your patience
and participation on the beta program

Prevx

 

Here's the latest news, fresh and piping hot from PrevX.

 

I had problems updating. Removed then redownloaded and all is good. I am Admin. Account.

 

It didn't work for me on WinXP pro as admin, I had todo a fresh download in order for it to work

 

Anyone else having problems with the prevx shutting down your computer when lsass tries to run in the background? Is anyone else having freeze ups using SSM and Prevx?

 

Nope, not here anyway, submit it as a bug report to Prevx, they have responded to all my bug reports so far.

 

Just did.

 

Did a fresh install and update. Everything seems OK now.

 

I did notice that the newer version of SSM would create a buffer overflow, which would cause it to crash and start the shutdown timer. However SSM 1.8.9 didn't have any problems. The latest SSM didn't seem to play well with my system in general, though.

 

I confirm about SSM.Caused me twice in the past 2 days the same issue (NT authorization ,countdown,reboot).I thought i had a new variant of Blaster at the beginning...

Can anyone tell me how PrevX is with CPU usage and RAM?

 

CPU usage is negligible, the updated Prevx uses less RAM, it has 2 components (the service and the UI) which vary in the amount of RAM they take, but seem to always equal out to about 5MB.

So far the update looks to be better overall.
