Introducing, The New Prevx Edge.

I quote what PrevxHelp said I've had a trip too and then other 2 hours from the airport back to home. A prevx scan log would be really helpful

I'm going to sleep a bit: I've been awake for more than 30 hours, I need to check if the bed is still there

Night, night both! Sleep tight!

 

What is the difference between a licensed and unlicensed one? Im sure it has been answered already but I'm having trouble searching for it and dont want to read a 100 page thread.

 

Licensed removes the threats found unlicensed does not!

Thanks for that. The free one does still block infections right?

 

The free one does not block infections - it warns when a bad file is found and scans in realtime for free

 

Let me just clarify,

The free/unlicensed version will scan for infections.
It does not block infections (i.e. like a resident guard)
It does not clean infections

Is this correct?

 

That's correct - however, if you are using the free version the overhead is identical to the paid version (so you can expect the same performance once licensed).

 

Can anyone explain to me the 3 levels of heuristics? This seems like a really nice feature but is there a way I could test it?

thanks
Ice

 

I'll check tomorrow, I'm burned out right now Thanks

 

I tested the latest unlicensed version by setting both 'Age' and 'Popularity' to Maximum, and then running a .exe which I modified, but got no warnings. It seems these two heuristics don't work in unlicensed mode. I wonder if 'Advanced Heuristics' also applies to only the licensed version?

 

The heuristics only work in the paid version. That is part of the real-time component of Prevx.

 

Thank you for your response . It would be clearer if those items which do not apply to the unlicensed version were disabled.

 

thank you for confirming. I tried also to make the thing bark but got no response at any settings.

i'm trying PrevxEdge right now....hopefully KIS2009 will not duplicate much of PrevxEdge works or vice-versa.

in-case they duplicate each other, what will be the problem or is there any advantage?

 

How was Edge able to block this malware before installation (assuming 'installation'=execution)? Was it because of information already at the servers from a person who previously encountered the same malware? Or because of heuristics that are computed locally? If the latter, is this functionality that can only be tested in the licensed version?

 

There is some duplication but that is not a problem...beter safe tahn sorry in case one does not catch something ans the other does.

None whatsoever. I have been running KIS 2009 (506a) & Edge since the early releases and have NEVER experienced an issue. They co-exist beautifully IMHO.

 

A bit of both I believe but mainly because of the former, ie, "...because of information already at the servers from a person who previously encountered the same malware", or at least that is how I understand that it works.

 

thanks Baldrick! my only concern is they might affect each other efficiency because of duplicate protection.

also i noticed after i installed PrevxEdge, my shutdown time increase by almost 10secs....instead of 10secs to shutdown, now its 20secs. Does PrevxEdge do something during shutdown process?

 

A wise thought and question...but I can say again that I have never experienced any such issue.

Interesting...and more difficult to answer as there could be a number of factors involved. I personally have never noticed any effect due to Edge and my rig shuts down pretty quick.

I would time the shutdown a couple of times with Edge installed, then uninstall Edge and do the same again, ie, time a coupl eof shutdowns, and finish that off with a reinstall and timing a couple of shut downs with Edge installed again.

Then post back your results here and PrevxHelp (Joe...he is very good you know... ) may be around to offer some advice re. the results that you find. I am fairly sure that he will be interested in the information if it goes against what he would expect to happen in your circumstances.

 

Do you boys get paid overtime

 

I have had this slower shutdown with Edge since testing the first beta before its existence was made public here on Wilders. I understand its checking on shutdown and varies depending on your individual computer setup and software.
Remove Edge and the computer both shuts down and starts up almost straight away.
A small price to pay for the extra security.

Prevxedge give me this infection pop ups....i scan this with KIS2009, it says it's clean....

FP?

 

I went to my prevx this morning and the issue with my key was already resolved.The support team must have went in and deleted the original installation.My key now works.Thanks All for the help.
