Introducing, The New Prevx Edge.

Great to hear Please let me know if you or your mother have any questions using Edge!

 

Welcome to the rapidly growing fan club!

 

Hi there, koopz! Glad to hear Edge did an excellent job for you! Just as a tip, if you've some of that really tough malware, always test to scan in safe-mode, or even better - get new software to help you installed in safe-mode. Malwarebytes' is one which can be installed in safe-mode. I dunno if it would've worked in your case, but it's always a MUCH higher chance that malware won't have as big effect in there. So, for example, download and install Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, update it, and turn off your connection to the internet while running safe-mode with networking to prevent tough threats from redownloading when trying to remove them, then run a scan.

Hope this helps you if you run into such a situation again!

 

That's what I would normally have done, but my Mom lives 2 hours away and I could only remote into her PC using the free LogMeIn remote software. I'm just not sure if I could remote into her PC in safe mode, so I had do everything ON the infected OS...terrible situation to be in, but Prevx made it a bit easier.

 

Okay, I see. Good to hear it still was solved then - maybe a lot thx to Prevx.

 

To me, this is the type of test that proves a product true abilty. Real world testing! Kudos Edge.

 

Why I like to know that it scans files every once in awhile!

 

Is it multiple times for you on the same ones? I've yet to confirm this myself, but I know that it's supposed to be on files where there's info to be added to their db.

 

... and also targeting - but it sure is.

 

Saraceno thanks , Eraser knows me and helpme for the thread you have seen

 

Some false ones.

Fixed

 

Fixing, you are very fast in doing that, thanks

 

Is Prevx edge a good replacement for A Squared? I have A Squared but it is a resource hog on my 6 years old computer and gives quite some false positives.

I just installed Prevx trial and was amazed at how speedy the scan was.

So do you think Prevx edge has the same functionality as A Squared, or if not, does it protect my computer as well as A Squared? The malware ids part of it is really good imo.

my security setup is:

Nod32
A squared
Mbam and SAS (free versions)
Sandboxie
Xpseconfig

OS Xp sp3

Thanks.

 

I sended you a private message, can you let me know the outcome?

 

Thx, all is good now.

 

Dutchie,

Don't know how you configured a-squared but there are some settings which will reduce the number of pop-ups and/or use the information from other a-squard users to automatically decide to allow or block an action.
I'm running a-squared + Edge here and it's working great.

 

Note that this is Prevx2 which uses an older version of our detection and its an old test (and just a single threat - no product is perfect).

FWIW - the test is from InfoWorld and the whole review is here: http://www.infoworld.com/article/08/09/30/40TC-sandbox-security_1.html where we received 1st place even though we missed the single threat

 

Remove-Malware's review of Prevx Edge at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AAx6Y2MW_uA is a lot more fun.

 

Hi Joe

As promised posting back on 3.0.1.15.

Have to say that as far as I am concerned this appears to be the most stable version for a while. So far (and this is now a number of days) no aborted scans and no red icons in the sys tray...which were my main 'issues'.

Top hole, what!

 

Fantastic Thanks for letting me know!

 

since we are talking about tray icons, any word on my wish.

 

From what I've heard from our graphic designer we aren't planning on changing them currently but he'll most likely respond in the morning with a reason

 

i have a license for 2 pc's and i just got a new laptop and want to put it on it,i uninstalled prevx from one of the other pc's now what?

 

PM me your license and I'll move it over
