Introducing, The New Prevx Edge.

Same behaviour with folders. Select one folder and Edge will scan all files within that folder. Select 2 or more folders, no reponse from Edge.

 

@joe

i can confirm this doesnt work.

right click one file, and the option "scan with edge" or whatever shows.

select a few and that option is not in the right click menu anymore.

 

Regarding the multiple selections scan via Explorer, no issues with KIS.

KIS 8.0.0.454 abc and Edge 3.0.0.180

 

Agree there is some overlap between EQS and OA. Otherwise, each brings a different type of protection. Edge is also something different that I can't resist trying. Like EQS, Edge doesn't seem to produce a performance hit on my PC.

 

Yes, selecting multiple files or a combination of files/folders can sometimes break it. The reason why this happens is that our implementation is less system-intensive than other AV's. Rather than having an extra DLL injected into Explorer to scan files via the right click menu, we have a very light-weight registry entry which duplicates a majority of the same functionality.

However, it does have some minor caveats in that it isn't 100% functional to that of some other right click menus. But, if you do want to use the more advanced scan features of multiple folders/files/etc. you can use the Advanced Scan feature found in Tools and Settings.

 

Your names Joe?

 

Yes, and I hardly ever sleep as you may have noticed from emails

 

update,here is something I found interesting,After a complete show down of my machine when I boot up again monitoring is disabled with self protection set enabled.If I disabled self protection and shut down and boot back up it loads and is running.This seems to be consistent on my machine.

 

Hello,
Could you make sure you are using v3.0.0.180? The primary fix in that version is to correct the self protection problems which disabled monitoring on bootup. If you are still using .172, please download Edge again from http://info.prevx.com/downloadedge.asp and update it from there.

Let me know what you find

 

You must be using some heavy Java juice=coffee or something stronger.

 

I am have a look

 

Thanks for that clarification We don't have the update out yet, so, I just have to check to make sure.

By any chance, do you have a single, password protected user account on your system? If so, this would coincide with an issue we discovered earlier today. If you want, I can PM you a link to the beta update to see if that corrects the problem for you.

 

I have a password for logon at boot up only.

 

That update as you know already, seems to have did the trick and much faster start up.thank you.

 

Great! We will be getting this out for all users ideally by tomorrow. Thanks for your quite testing

 

just a update on self protection its working great now and I just tested it I tryied to kill its process prevx.exe works as expected.

 

Great Thank you for the report!

your welcome.

 

Hello,
Thank you for your information. We will be re-checking the test version with Threatfire to see what we can fix. We are planning a new version tomorrow/soon after which should correct many of the incompatibility issues.

We will let you know when the new version is out and if you have a free few minutes, we would greatly appreciate you giving the new version another test to see if everything is corrected on your system

 

I completed another system scan. This time I scanned z:, which as I mentioned earlier I store images on. Edge flagged several files related to Ultimate Boot Disc for Windows as infected. I believe they are all false positives. I have attached the log.

 

Hello,
Thank you for your log - I will have the false positives fixed momentarily

 

Fixed A handful of those are duplicate files, FWIW, but, if you rescan again they will be fixed and not detected anymore. Thanks for the log

 

They're still there. Maybe I need to wait longer. I'll rescan in the morning.

 

I am now having problems with Prevx Edge protection. Using the latest version (3.0.1.180) Prevx isn't loading at startup (no tray icon or process in task manager) and when opened via the start menu it says protection disabled. Rebooting as suggested doesn't fix the problem.

System setup is as follows:
Vista Business SP1
Single password protected admin account
UAC enabled
BIOS password
AVG AV free (8.0.175)
Comodo Internet Security (3.5.55810.432) installed with firewall only

It appears to be a compatibility problem with AVG because if I disable AVG resident shield and reboot, Prevx loads properly. FYI I wasn't experiencing this problem with the previous version. Any Ideas?
