    I forgot to randomize PrevX filename during install....
    which means less protection from malware targetting.

    Q: Is there an option to randomize filename after install?

    Q: does prevx have two separate processes normally? (refer on the screenshot)

    First Question probably not, reinstall is the only way with this version http://info.prevx.com/download.asp?grab=prevxcsirnd :doubt: and the Second Question Yes there are 2 processes! I personally don't randomize Prevx filename because I'm very secure with what I use and have some common sense when it comes with unknown files! And by the looks of your signature you are very well protected! :thumb:

    As TH has said, you cannot randomize post-installation. You'll need to uninstall and reinstall to get the randomized filenames applied.

    Yes - this provides self protection and support for limited user accounts :)
