    Yes :) That will definitely stop it from warning :)

    Along the same lines, has anyone tested Edge with Rollback Rx? That modifies the MBR (I believe) to provide a pre-boot UI for restoring previous snapshots. I wouldn't want Edge interfering with that, but on the other hand I would want to be warned if something malicious modified the MBR.

    Thanks

    I have Prevx Edge and Rollback Rx installed here.
    No apparent problems.
    I have not needed to rollback to an earlyer snapshot since installing Prevx though.
    Will check this out maybe tomorrow and make sure there are no problems with this.
    Sure hope not.

    Possible fp, got this alert after my monthly defrag when trying to run something trusted in DefenseWall: c:\windows\system32\dwall_ext.dll.
    Cheers.

    Hello,
    Could you click Tools and then Save Scan Results and send me a scan log? Thanks :D

    I have RB Rx installed and rollback to a prior snapshot on a regular basis (due to best testing software like Edge, etc.). Have not noticed or reported any issues as a result.

    In terms of the modification of the modification of the MBR and how Edge reacts see previous posts in this thread:

    https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showpost.php?p=1418717&postcount=2346

    https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showpost.php?p=1419133&postcount=2352

    This refers to modification by Acronis True Image, but I think shed light?

    Cheers


    Baldrick:D

    To Joe:
    Question about the detection override:
    from your guide I read: "If you select a file when adding the file to detection overrides, you can configure Edge to Block this file, Always trust this file, or Trust this file once. If you are using the Edge Evaluation, the only options available are to Block this file and to Ignore this file. Once applied, the detection override comes into effect immediately.

    For the Pro version everything clear I block the execution of the file, or I trust it once or everything (even in the scanning)
    But for the free is not clear what is block (with ignore I think the folder was not scanned), if the evaluation can't block a malware, what is means, can you explain?
    Thanks

    That is a help file mistake :D The actual options available during the trial are "Detect" and "Ignore". You can add detection for any file if you want, or you can ignore it :)

    Good catch :D

    Yes but detection of what?
    For example if I have Kis is better say to Edge Ignore Kis (you know haw kis is dificult with other security software) but detect what is exacly, if i put a folder or exe on the the tabs choosing detect, what Edge doing? only scan this folder every time I start the scan?
    Thanks for the info

    If you put a single file as a detection override and set the override to Detect, Edge will detect the file regardless of what our database says - it will say it is a "Manually Added Infection".

    Ahhh thanks my speedy gonzales :D
    in the pay override is a set of instruction on Edge behavior (block, or let exe running)
    on the free this view is different and override is only a catch control
    Ok thanks, naw is clear

    I may have spoken too soon - since installing KAV, I experience problems rendering certain pages in firefox only on certain sites; facebook, wilders, etc. I have excluded things down to the point of knowing it is KAV and nothing to do with Edge or SBIE. Of course this is not the KAV forum, but wanted to answer the question completely...

    *************************************************************************************************************************


    Yes, I use Edge with both SBIE and KAV2009. Was using Avira until yesterday.

    No problems with Edge and SBIE since Edge was released. So far, no issues with KAV since yesterday.

    Just had to uninstall Edge, install KAV then reinstall Edge.

    Mark.

    (Just realized you had said KIS - sorry)

    Don't know why, but Cyberlink Powerdvd doesn't seem very popular with anti-malware apps. Various anti-malware programs report different false positives.

    Prevx Edge reported the following files as medium risk malware:

    CLHBMixer_HBD.ax
    DXRender.dll
    dxRenderV.dll
    vc1dsse2.dll

    The reason why these files are being flagged by a lot of security products is that they use a highly controversial runtime encryption program on top of them which is used primarily by malware authors. The files are indeed clean and I've corrected the FPs :)

    Thx for the info. :)

    Apparently Cyberlink isn't bothered by this, which I find a bit strange..

    But thx (again) for the real quick service! :)
