Introducing, The New Prevx Edge.

Ahhh yes. Now I know what you mean We automatically unhide all drives during cleanup to undo the changes frequently made by malware to hide them.

For now, this may continue to be an annoyance until we make a feature to configure exactly what to remove on cleanup, but, because of the vast number of users being infected with malware that hides their drives and the relatively low number of users who actually use that functionality for legitimate purposes, we tend to have to side with cleaning the infected users.

I will make a note of this to ensure we do eventually allow configuration of what is removed.

 

Thank you very much. I hope Prevx realizes what an asset they have in you. You have been extremely helpful (and prompt).

 

No problem Always glad to help!

 

Sometimes when I am toggling the Enable Self-Protection setting and then saving the settings, Edge just unloads totally and I have to manually start it again.

Anything I can do to help troubleshoot this?

Thanks,
Mark.

 

I think there is an issue with the self protection right now Mark. I think they are going to have it fixed in the next release coming shortly.

 

Wonderful - thank you Threedog.

Best,
Mark.

 

Glad to be of help.

 

Am I correct in assuming that there was an incompatability issue between Edge and WinPatrol Plus? I think I remember reading about that earlier in this thread. I have both installed in real-time and I am not experiencing any issues at all.

 

I've had no problems at all with Edge/WinPatrol Plus with all beta tests and public releases.

 

Good to know. I haven't either but I thought it was documented in this thread.

 

Love it on my XP and Vista32 laptops, and I'm waiting for the 64bit version to try on my Vista64 desktop. Is there any indication as to when a 64bit version will be arriving?

 

Prevx Edge 3.0.0.180 is released. This version has solved the self protection issue on my XP Pro SP3 machine. It's running well, and getting along with my other active security apps (ZAP8, AntiVir Premium). Nice work Prevx people regarding the speed of this update!

 

Any idea how to update it to the newest version. I'm runninng 3.0.0.172 and the updater says there is no new version out.

 

I did a clean install. Fast and easy!

 

The update will be available to existing users within a day or two - we generally ship them out slowly to manage new features.

Downloading the newest version directly or uninstalling/reinstalling will get you the update immediately (and yes, it corrects the self protection issues and a number of compatibility problems )

 

The 64bit version is on the horizon but honestly, there are a number of features ahead of it in priority. I would peg it at > 1 month as we just have so much we want to get added in to the 32bit version.

 

I haven't heard an update, but I know our head of research was going to be getting in touch with WinPatrol to correct a false positive which was killing Edge. It looks like things are working better now based on user reports, however

to the fast response by WinPatrol

 

Threedog was right - there was an issue in build 3.0.0.172 with enabling Self Protection. However, we have corrected this problem and you can now download the newest version from http://info.prevx.com/downloadedge.asp

Try just running that version from the download link directly - it should automatically update the installed copy. If it doesn't, try uninstalling and reinstalling. Based on all reports, the self protection problems are fixed, as well as a number of incompatibilities

Please let us know if you run into any further problems!

 

Help me:

a) when heuristics detection is on an advanced level, say better than AVG or AVAST

b) behavior finds another portion to outcompete AVIRA and A2/Ikarus

AND WITHOUT REGRETTING A TEMPORARY OKAY

c) suspicious piece of code you may proceed, because I track the changes

THEN ON FINAL ANAYLYSIS OF PREVX SERVER PARC/SPECIALIST

d) you have a take control feature (like in SPyberus) which will remove malware in sort of safe re-boot mode and actually reverts the tracked changes



What would I need else?

Put your effort in improving the scanner (in stead of adding features), that is what people look first at! When scanner is lousy (say on Comodo level) in AV comparatives, you should position it as an add on, which is always considered an unnessecary extra by the majority of PC users.


Cheers Kees

 

+1 for XP x64 version. I only run Windows x64 so unfortunately can't test it properly on my main machines, although I may try it in a VM as it sounds interesting.

If it would mean an x64 version could be released sooner, could you just release it with the detection capability, without the self-protection & cleaning technology ?

This would at least give us x64 outcasts something to salivate about.

 

I also encountered this "riskware Trojan.generic" with KIS 8.0.0.454, I believe it was a behavioural alert, right after the scan following installation. I do use KIS in interactive mode.

I have not seen it since.

 

Hey Everyone

Firstly let me say that I am very impressed with Prevx Edge so far. It is light on system resources, appears to be stable with no conflicts with AVG free, has a nice GUI, is easy to use and in my limited testing has detected the malware samples I have thrown at it which has lead me to buy a license.

This unique approach that Prevx takes which I like to call "community based behavioral intrusion prevention" is definitely the way of the future and although it has taken you guys multiple versions and many years to perfect a viable product it was well worth the wait and for that I would like to congratulate you on your success. Your support although lacking at best in the past is now top notch thanks mainly to PrevxHelp who seems very knowledgeable and prompt in his/hers approach to customer support, something that the major AV companies really need to address.

If Prevx continues to evolve their products with new features and technologies in a timely fashion and remains focused on customer satisfaction, I am sure they will continue to find great success well into the future. Well done!

 

with edge and avira free edition installed security centre reports 2 anti virus programs should this be ok

 

This is fine As of version v3.0.0.180, Edge also integrates into the security center, but it does so in a way that multiple AVs can be in there without problems

 

Thank you for your kind words Please let me know if you do have any questions/problems! Always glad to help
