Prevx Web Browser Security Configuration

Everyone is posting about it so:

For configuration to be correct please make sure you type "http://*" or "ftp://*". This will protect every website with the protocol behind it. Therefore, you do not need to 'add' every site you visit to the list.

These configurations are my default configurations for all websites. For a banking site, I would use the other protection features as well. But add the bank website separately.

 

Is this the thread that discusses configuration options? Together with having my own thread locked, I can find nothing which explains the options.

 

We currently don't have a userguide completed but do you have any specific questions with the configuration? After enabling the secure browser (which is now done by default with new installations), the protection self-configures and can be used with no further interaction if wanted.

 

Hi Joe,

I was just entering all my Banking info and I use the same password on 3 accounts it will not allow me to use the password from site to site! ScreenShot protection works well!

 

To fix this, you can either configure your password for each website individually or click "Cancel" and then click "Yes" to configure that password for that domain.

Let me know if you have any problems with this

 

Ok Done works great! Now what do you use for Username? The online bank card info? And I assume that the password would be the password to enter your account? And I will ask if that info is sent to prevx or it just stays locally?

 

The Prevx protection exists exclusively over your bank password/other password that you want to protect - the "username" can be any username which you'd like to use to clarify which password is which in the dialog.

Note that once you store the password, it cannot be retrieved (as we don't store the password itself, rather, a secure cryptographic hash of the password) so if you do want to remove the protection for a specific password, you'll need to locate it just by the username field and remove it with the "Remove" button.

 

Ok Great stuff! I have it working well now!

 

I like stuff 'automated' and unfortunately im completely puzzled by the browser security sorry but i am.

 

Protection is automatically preconfigured so you don't have to worry (on a fresh install all of the defaults are set automatically )

 

So the default shows blue for the default settings but the keylogger protection etc will need to be configured for each website correct?

 

Protection is loaded automatically for https:// websites. http websites will just default to no additional protection for compatibility reasons but protection can be added by clicking Configure, then typing http://* and clicking Add and then ticking the boxes to configure whatever protection you would like and then clicking Save.

Let me know if you have any questions with this

 

Thanks, I'd like to know what each option does & how to set this up. I have an installed userbase & I'm getting calls about this & can't tell them what to do. I'm also getting a huge support issue with Nod32 killing the updates.

Your marketing guys should really have given the resellers a heads-up with this.

 

Your installed users should not be receiving updates yet - this release is not being pushed out to our userbase yet (and won't be for a few weeks).

Is there any chance your users installed the beta a few months ago?

 

Another nice protection Window and the web browser goes Black

 

Very nice pop-up window, very informative - but, should there really be a choice to "Ignore"
I know plenty of people who would almost certainly click Ignore and then complain that Prevx didn't protect them. If there is an infection surely the only choice should be to get rid of it before proceeding. I know people here at Wilders should be able to make the correct decision but we probably only amount to 0.1% if that of the people likely to be using it.

 

if there would be no "ignor" option i would deinstall prevx and never use it again.

 

full ack

 

It's possible, you know what users are like!

I wonder why I'm getting betas?

 

Very nice features indeed.

 

We are going to be making some graphical changes to the Ignore button to dissuade users from clicking on it.

I do think we need an Ignore button but I agree that right now its too easy for a user to think they're just closing the warning.

 

And this is after I click Ignore. So it is a two step notification and I personally feel no changes are necessary if someone wants to bypass the security window it's there problem! They will by Disabling Prevx if you make it harder to bypass!

 

That's a sensible safety net, if anyone should misunderstand the first pop-up there is no excuses with the second one
Looking better by the day

 

I truely agree 100%

 

This may be the wrong place to ask. If so, I apologize. Quick question and I realize that this is probably overkill but when I use FF 3.5 Sandboxed I do not get the Prevx tag at the top of the screen. If I open FF unsandboxed it is there. What am I missing? Is there something in Sandboxie I need to change? Is there a setting in Prevx I need to set up/change?
