Introducing, The New Prevx Edge.

Dont know if this issue has been covered....

With Windows 7, the action centre reports that Prevx is on, but reporting in a way no longer supported.

Is this something that can be resolved?

I understand Prevx does not need to update as protection is continually updater in realtime - but would be nice if this reporting issue was sorted out.

 

Could you let me know what build of Windows 7 you're using? They must have just changed something as it works fine here

 

7100 RC (Ultimate)

 

I have now fixed this issue with a little help from Joe.

If anyone else is using Prevx3 through a Microsoft ISA Firewall & can't get it to connect, send me a PM for the ISA firewall rule format.

 

So, I had the issue with Prevx not showing up in the sys tray again, and stopping and restarting explorer.exe from the task manager fixed it - very annoying but I guess more of a Vista issue than a Prevx one.

It wouldn't matter to me if the Vista security centre recognised Prevx though - any news on when this will work? It was fine with Prevx Edge.

 

We've made a change in build .65 of Prevx 3.0 which intentionally makes it not register into the security center. As Prevx 3.0 in the unregistered version is not protecting your computer, it would be inaccurate to have it registered as your AV so we've disabled this when unregistered.

However, if you are registered, I suspect it is Vista being difficult

 

Prevx has started scanning very slowly today. It is now failing to complete scans - gets stuck at 98%!

Anyone else heving problems?

 

It didn`t get stuck, but 30 minutes for a Deep Scan without SmartScan checked

 

30 minutes for a deep scan or a full scan? A deep scan should take around 2 minutes... if its taking that long then something is indeed going a bit wrong

 

I'm not seeing anything wrong, but could you try sending me a scan log via email? I'll see what is causing the slower scan

 

It`s a Deep Scan.

 

Another strange thing is that in now seems to scsn nearly 60K files on the standard scan - when before, it was about 30K

 

i have some problems with the right click it scans 0 files

 

webster & Retdapuss: I'm optimizing the entries around your scan logs (which indeed are the cause of the slowdowns). Could you both try running another scan now and then send me another scan log?

Regarding the large scan jobs: this is because you're on Windows 7 build 7100 and the OS has a lot of new programs in it which aren't trusted yet. They should all be much improved now so if you try running another scan, you should see your scans start to decrease in size (if not, try uninstalling/reinstalling and that will definitely flip you back to a more normal scan).

 

What kind of file are you trying to scan with the right click scanner?

 

Trojans exe files

 

Hmm.... hard to say Could it be possible that Avira (checking your signature ) is blocking access to the files when we're trying to scan? If you want, you can send them to me and I'll see if I can reproduce it over here

 

Avira is Off i just send a zip file with 11 trojans

 

Hi, PrevxHelp,

I sent you a scan log with the Kaspersky false positive.

 

Hi PrevxHelp,

A Vista SP2 x64 false positive: c:\windows\system32\wscui.cpl (log attached).

 

To alley and mvdu - both are fixed now Thanks!

 

Thanks Joe, all working perfectly here now.

 

New log sent. Better this time. Only 6.44 min.

 

Joe, I have an issue which I cannot resolve.
Every time I compile a new exe with Delphi 2007, and run it, PrevX popup and complains about it. But the 2nd. time I run it, it comes out clear. That happen all the time.
I copy the exe to the desktop, and run it. PrevX popup. I let it remove the file (what not work all the time btw, I click the button remove, but nothing happen, like the button is disabled).
I then copy the same exe again to the desktop, and it runs fine.

 

You may want to disable heuristics or add an ignore override to the folder. I suspect that the files look suspicious on the first sighting but are trusted after they're analyzed after the first execution.
