    Installed it,all normal till now,just a small GUI issue.I use large fonts in winXP and some things aren't visible as you can see below.Happens more or less in every PrevX window.Nothing that one can't guess,but just keep it in mind.

    I have downloaded 3 times. I get a popup when I reboot. I thought maybe I could get it to behave. It won't load till I click OK

    That appears to be a different pop up. Also on shut down I get a pop up PXAgent.exe Application error.

    I found the problem. I remove Prevex again for about the 4th time. Did a search for PXAgent.exe which is an executable for Prevex. It was in windows prefetch. When Prevex was removed the first time it must have been left behind. I deleted it then did another download and walla. Alls well that ends well.

    I have been running Prevx for 8 hours now with no problem whatsoever.I also tried some firewall leak tests,and in PC Audit PrevX kicked in detecting dll injection and stopped it.
    I wish the protection was extended in all files ,not just C:>Windows directory.

    I think you can doubleclick the uninstaller, in the Prewx folder. It usually works

    I thought of that and went there but there was no uninstaller in the prevx folder.

    Try this. My computer,double click c drive , if that is where your programs are, double click program files open Prevex folder and delete one file at a time. If that works reboot and do a search for PXAgent.exe and delete. Re-download.

    Hi Nota,

    Remove it from start ups (i.e. S-S&D). Quit the program in the systray and reboot. If you have Regcleaner (4.3) uninstall Prevx with that. Reboot after that and it should be gone.

    Thnaks webster. I tried that and it didn't even start. I think I got a bad exe.

    Hi garardwil. I tried to use JV16 to uninstall the program and it didn't work. I closed down everything that was running and still couldn't uninstall it. My week hasn't been going well and this just puts the sprinkles on the cake. :) Thanks for your suggestions I'm going to try to use regcleaner. I know regcleaner is almost the same as JV16 but just maybe I'll get it uninstalled. I also need to send this bug to them to let them know.

    I have PG and a little program called Start Man. The exe that runs Prevx is sagui.exe .If you download Kill Box and get rid of sagui you should be able to go into the folder and delete the files.

    I'm going to do it the hard way. I'm going to delete all the files of prevx and than delte all the reg keys that Prevx hold and keep my fingers crossed that it's not going to go wrong and I have to fix it. Of course I'm backing up my registry. :)

    WHOA!! :eek:
    Those bloody hell hackers have been waging war on my computer these few days and my firewall is busy blocking them out non-stop. There seems to be a continuous firing of unsolicited traffic packets from a wide variety of IP addresses at my computer. And this is what happened when PrevX stopped a side effect of the hackers' attacks, a buffer overflow was STOPPED! :eek:
