    Is there any commandline to check a file via prevx, like

    prevx.exe myfile.exe

    o_O?

    Sign me up too.. I'm interesting in beta testing V4. Seriously, others should follow PrevX's customer service model. In the end you provide a service to your customers, not just a piece of software that sits in the background. And this is where you guys get it right.

    We don't currently have commandline support but we are planning on adding this in a future version (alongside MSN scanning support which requires a similar commandline).

    Hi Joe,

    I'm still having problems on 3 machines with the Tray Icon not showing up on boot up! Two are XP SP3 32bit & One Vista SP2 32bit. It shows fine in Task Manager and some reboots it comes back but not all times. I also go into the GUI and uncheck show Icon and save an go back and check it and it shows up fine until I reboot again.

    TIA,

    TH

    :doubt: I'm really not sure what would cause this. To take a guess - could you let me know what product you're using (i.e. if you're using the business version or enterprise version?) If you're just using the consumer version, are you using any apps which could affect the tray icon or if your Windows Explorer crashes at all on bootup?

    Also, does the tray icon never show up? If you wait ~2 minutes its possible that it would show up (hard to say, however :))

    Hi Triple Helix. Excuse me for butting in, but I found an interesting page that has a number of solutions and workarounds that just might offer you some ideas. Slowing down the boot process or eliminating some start up services worked for a couple people. Maybe you'll find something in there. :)

    This will happen on my laptop occasionally too. I follow the same steps Triple Helix uses to get it to appear. I'm using the personal/home version of Prevx. I have Online Armor Premium running along side but litle else. I also can't seem to get it to quit doing a bootup scan no matter how I try in the settings...o_O :blink: :)

    Are there any plans for a Cloud URL scanner by Prevx?

    Hope they are not planning to implement those stuff :)
    Prevx should really stay out of the "big suite-offers". It has a perfect concept like it is, imo. It´s all you need to be secure in future.

    We are indeed trying to keep everything as straightforward as possible, however, a cloud URL scanner will most likely come as a separate/distinct product from the standard Prevx 3.0 offering sometime down the line :)

    Same here.

    This is the only icon on my machine which shows this behaviour and it has been observed over several months now. But its frequency has decreased since switching to Windows 7.

    Fortunately the Prevx process is still running in Task manager.

    the handling of prevx is not easy, if you have to use the keyborard. perhaps the developer can do somethin :)
    I use this Screenreader:

    Hello,
    We currently do not support keyboard navigation but we will be adding this soon :) Also, I've PM'd you a 7 day trial license - let me know if you have any questions!

    I have nothing that would affect the Tray Icon nor does Windows Explorer crash. And I use the consumer version and waiting does not help. Also it seems I'm not the only one.

    Honestly, I had hoped you were the only one, however, it appears you definitely aren't :D

    We'll take a look at it shortly and let you know what we find :)

    Thanks for the patience!

    I'll be waiting too...:thumb: Sheesh, 175 pages in this topic in less than 7 months. Just 13 pages behind the long running "What is your security setup these days? " A Wilders Prevx dedicated forum must be just around the corner...:eek: :D

    NF says that the file is overridden by the user (most likely you've marked it as a false positive).

    Joe, I have just been looking at a few articles concerning Morro. Looks like it will be cloud based. Have you got any thoughts?

    Well, NF always means "marked as a false positive". Most likely means it may not have been you :D (i.e. another user on your machine :D)

    Most of the flags are just for internal use but you can cover a majority of them with:

    B = Bad
    U = Unknown/Untrusted
    G = Good/trusted

    I haven't really looked into it much but we really don't consider it much of a threat - the free AV market is already quite saturated with a number of very good products. Microsoft's Morro may have a leg up on the others if it leverages community intelligence (and Microsoft's ubiquitous knowledge) but we aren't worried at all ;)
