Introducing, The New Prevx Edge.

We are also always working on improving our monitoring - Edge is far from static We have some major engine improvements coming up in the coming weeks/months which will be quite exciting

No idle times in sight for us!

 

cool,will this be something like webscaners do?thanks

 

I'm not going to divulge any information until we're further along in the development process with each feature

 

ah ok

 

And I would add that we don't need all those layers which just slow down all attempts to improve the technology with the essential speed

 

Prevx is flagging a few files as threats that I believe are harmless. I use a program called Vista Boot Pro 3.3, which is a front-end for BCedit. Here's a link to a screenshot. Let me know what you think. Thanks!

Remote Desktop Application

Since intalling PrevX Edge I have been unable to connect remotely to my companies server via Vista Remote Desktop Connection. This could of course be a total coincidence, the problem could lie at the server end, but just so I can rule out possibilities - Is it possible PrevX is doing something to block my access? What & How could I check? I did the obvious (put it in install mode for 15 mins) but that made no difference.

Thanks

Re: Remote Desktop Application

Edge doesn't interface with the network/internet connection at all so I don't think it would be Edge causing it. You could try disabling Self Protection and then terminating both prevx.exe processes with Task Manager, however, and see if that clears it up (that would completely disable Edge).

 

Joe,
Possibly a bit of a loaded question but not intended to be - if I am using SandboxIE will Edge detect malware and suspicious *items* that have been downloaded into the sandbox while they are being held in there prior to closing the browser and flushing the contents away. ie: an advanced warning that you have something malicious in the sandbox so that you don't accidentally let it out. I seem to think I saw something about this somewhere but cannot now find it. I think Edge and OA were the two that were mentioned that possibly had this ability to see into the sandbox. Is this correct or have I totally misunderstood it.

 

I believe that is indeed the case, however, I haven't seen it myself (I haven't used Sandboxie) but I do believe some other users have reported that behavior

 

Thanks for the reply Joe. Will do a bit of basic *testing* to see what happens.

 

Hi Joe

Build 3.0.1.32 has just 'schmoooozed' its way onto my system, silently & painless...and is running well vs. the usual things that I throw at a new build

Any chance of an indication as to what has changed?

Cheers



Baldrick

 

This is a new beta build - the full version will be coming out in the next couple days Relatively minor changes this time around for the consumer product, however. It contains mostly changes for our Enterprise products and a few changes which have just been preliminarily integrated but are disabled from view for the time being

We should have a new build tomorrow which will be close to being ready for release, but overall its still just a handful of minor fixes which have crept up over the last few weeks of 3.0.1.17.

Oh and trjam - this build has your new tray icons in it

 

Cheers Joe

Good to know...but will keep trying to break it!

Hi Joe this Beta build still does not do a full scan when I right click My Computer and now it will not do a single file scan. Just to let you know.

So how many people works for Prevx?

 

It was mentioned earlier. Around 30 staff!

Looks the same to me LOL

 

Yep Not much of a difference. We know about the scan issue and should have it fixed in the next build However, we've decided that right clicking on My Computer should just run a normal scan (you can still get to the full scan from the Advanced Scan screen )

 

I take it that the new tray icon is one of the things that are disabled from view? I still have the old one here

 

It's really only a couple pixels different You would have to really be looking at it constantly to notice, but we had some requests that the center of the tray icon stand out a bit more

 

Yes, I suppose looking at it again the green does stand out a bit more, I think I was expecting something a bit more radical.
I'll have to download something to turn it red now for curiosities sake

 

Looks a little 'more' 3D or perhaps more defined that the old one...if you know what I mean. Nice either way.

 

Joe,
