Introducing, The New Prevx Edge.

Scheduled scanning is largely a redundant feature but many users like that extra level of assurance for security The one benefit of it is that it rechecks a lot of files with our database so it can improve performance once we change a new file from "unknown" to "trusted" which tells Edge to significantly reduce the amount of data it bothers collecting, so, if you do experience any slowdown/lagging, just run another scan and it should improve performance

 

Got it, thanks!

 

anybody experience increase shutdown time after installing Prevx?

from 10secs shutdown time, now it goes to 30secs shutdown time....thats almost 20secs increase of shutdown time. Is there any scanning Prevx do when shutting OFF PC? I'm using default setting.

 

Hello,
Edge actually doesn't do anything during shutdown so I'd be surprised if it actually is increasing the time or if it is a case of the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle If you would like, send me a PM and I'll see if there is anything in your scan log which would indicate a possible bad interaction.

 

Can I run PrevX Edge parallel with NOD32?

 

Yes You can use it alongside NOD32 and any other antivirus/security solution

 

thanks!

i'll send it to you later.

btw, do you have incoming discount or promo?

 

Thanks for the quick answer. I am currently on the "Buy Now" page... searching for a coupon code...

 

Nothing in particular at the moment but we do have a discount if you purchase a multi-year license or if you purchase a multi-computer license

 

Never mind discount code. I just purchased a 1-year license. Thanks for this great program.

But I have an issue, it flags PS3 Media Server as malware (and this is 100% not malware)...

 

Well, I took the plunge and bought 6 licenses last night.

Problem getting it installed at all on one laptop. Then I noticed NIS2009 icon was not displayed and I could not start its GUI interface. A safe mode full scan with NIS2009 came up negative.

I used the Norton Removal tool to deinstall NIS2009 and re-downloaded the NIS2009 install.

I am currently backing this machine up with IFW while I download latest Norton Recovery Tool ISO to burn, boot from and run after the backup is complete.

Next, I will try reinstall of NIS2009.

THEN, I will retry install of Prevx Edge.

Any guidance advice on my plan?

 

How can I exclude drives or folders from being scanned?

 

Help file:
http://info.prevx.com/edgehelp.asp

soft, see detection overrides.

"Detection Overrides provide the user with the ability to change the default Edge behavior when it encounters specific files or folders. To add an override, click the "Add Override" button. This will open a dialog which will allow you to browse to a file or folder which you would like to modify the Edge behavior over.

If you select a folder, the folder will continue to be scanned but no detections will be reported. Edge will prevent you from selecting certain system folders from being excluded from the scan to prevent malicious software from exploiting the feature to evade detection."

 

Folks,

Can anyone confirm that PE is *Fully* Vista x64 compatible?.Has anyone had any issue's.

TIA

 

It has been developed to be a native x64 application and is fully compatible with x64

 

Thanks PrevxHelp,

I'll take the eval. ver. for a test drive on the new Asus G50vt, Vista home premium x64 box.

 

Joe, just checking to make sure that the option Block All will still be added one day.

 

Just to clarify - block all meaning the automatic block function? That will be in the next release we put out (as well as a more logical Block dialog )

 

Correct, so like on my kids PC, they dont get the option, it just blocks. The one reason I cant use a HIPS on their PCs, is, they have no idea.

 

this will be a good feature from prevx edge

 

teach them the ways of HIPS lol sit them down and give them a lesson on it like theyre at school, haha

 

When the (Block all option) version comes out. I will buy the multi-computer license so I can use it on my kids PC too.

 

Well, I FINALLY got my 6th license installed, 18 hours after buying them for the family network machines! Still got problems on that laptop, have recurrent chkdsk, can't get NIS2009 reinstalled so that it will open gui - cranking on it with Dr.Web right now.

Although there were a few obvious false positives, Prevx Edge spotted and cleaned about a half dozen actual bad actors from several machines, a couple in the high threat class.
I love the MyPrevx console to get the overall picture!

 

I saw this, but I want to exclude lets say all *.pas, *.dcu and *.bpl files, like I do with NOD32, but did not find anything where I can exclude files by mask.

 

Excluding files by extension is generally a bad idea (as the file extension doesn't really mean anything - it is the file header which matters) so we don't offer the function. However, Edge functions by scanning code as it loads in memory and it wouldn't slowdown/detect those extensions unless they were harboring malware covertly
