    So, is there a time limit on how long you can hold it before using it? If you won two from CC, can you use one then activate the other a year later?

    I have won licenses for both. Other that OA V2's firewall, are these not similar? Do they both have the same protection or cover the same areas? Is one stronger than the other? Thanks

    Or we can all do what Prevx intended it for and give the other away. Preferably to a member here. Nice things, always come back to you.

    I think the resource usuage is quite low myself. It settles down to an average of between 10 an 12k for me. Not bad at all.
    SuperAntiSpyware uses about 27k
    SSM uses about 10k
    Even BOClean, R.I.P.?, with it's 2 processes uses about 11k.
    Let's not forget KIS, about 11k which is very light in my opinion.

    I'd be curious to know what you use that uses less resources then Prevx.
    All for conservation you know. LOL :cool:

    In my main rig, Jetico v1 and GeSWall (Antivir on-demand). The upcoming build must have all its resources dedicated to audio encoding, Replaygain scanning, etc. So, no slowdowns are possible.

    You´re welcome :thumb:
    I will be moving all "blacklist-based" security to the router (UTM gateway), so "host-based" security will have to be "whitelist-based" or "behaviour-based".

    Maybe the question should be : Who used and ditched Prevx1 and why ?

    I just installed prevx1 and think it's a very good program.But it causes hesitation while im in on line games.It looks like if i keep the program i will have to cut it on and off defeating it's purpose.Looking for another alternative now.

    Hi, folks: To dump Prevx1 just because of slowdown when playing on-line games? IMO, I may have given up too much for a little return. Why not to enlist a program called PGWare GameBoost to save the bacon ? o_O

    Running The game In kis i can exclude the game so it does not scan it.There for no hesitation.There is no reason for a program to be scanning a game i am playing.I may use my retail avg 7.5 anti-spyware as additional help and be done with it for now.And i understand boclean will be free here soon .

    And to answer your question Perman-i will dump anything that interferes with game play.But fortunely i have other programs that don't

    I am very good at games and able to take Frustrations of the day out on noobs.So i don't go postal in real life:D I really think kis 6.0 is enough protection with it's proactive defense,but i was just looking at some additional help.

    The license went really quick. If I hear of someone that is looking to give away one, I will forward your names.

    Best,
    Mike

    Prevx1 wouldn't be "scanning" the game, but the TDI filter may be processing it's outbound network connections. You can put Prevx1 in Expert mode temporarily to create rules, or just disable network protection from the Advanced tab under Protection Plus (remember to click Apply and reboot for the change to take effect).
