    I rebooted twice and now it seems all ok.
    Sorry for my previuos post, I didn't notice that:

    "- Browser protection will be merged with the Stop Protection in Prevx to allow the user to take screenshots if wanted":D

    However I still wonder if there are some incompatibility issues with MalwareBytes' AntiMalware Ip Blocker.

    Cheers

    IE8 InPrivate Browsing - Fails

    I have uninstalled Prevx and installed RC 3.0.4.183 (Trial Version). Web Browser is enabled with all Defaults...no custom user settings. When attempting to use IE8's InPrivate Browsing - it simply will not start...the cursor waiting icon appears and then after ~10-15 seconds the cursor returns to normal but, the private browsing window never starts/appears.

    Would this be a feature or a possible bug or more likely, a user error....?...:D

    Edit: InPrivate Browsing works when Web Browser Security is turned OFF....ya might want ta reconsider this one guys...

    Hi Joe

    Update for you. Been testing 183 with KIS 2010 and so far I have noticed no clashes or incompabilities so far...which is good news.:D

    Will keep going and check a little wider with some of the other security apps that I run on-demand only.

    Cheers

    I'm quite confident this is not user error and is a software bug :) Could you please click Tools > Save Scan Results and send a scan log to report@prevxresearch.com?

    This will hopefully let us diagnose the cause of the problem (I've tried here on IE8 and it did not block it but there may be some different factor in your setup which is breaking it).

    Thanks! :)

    One quick and possibly silly question, as a licensed Prevx user can I just go ahead and download this or is some registration process involved and will my key work? (oops 2 questions). I love new toys,,,:eek: :D

    There may indeed be an issue between MalwareBytes and Prevx RC. We are still working through testing all of the major vendors and will be moving onto smaller vendors like MalwareBytes in the next phase of testing.

    Thank you for the information and we'll let you know as soon as we have something updated for retesting against MBAM :)

    Could you try uninstalling Prevx and going back to v3.0.1.65 from http://info.prevx.com/downloadcsi.asp to see if this is a newly introduced issue or if something else has caused it to happen across the standard Prevx installation also?

    Thanks! :)

    Joe, here are two screenshots taken a few minutes apart showing outgoing traffic continuing back to the the prevx server. As can been seen, I had just completed a manual scan.

    I am curious as to why the incoming/outgoing traffic continued for several minutes, even though the scan of my system was finished. ;)

    I suspect it is our database returning a flag to watch specific programs more carefully. You may periodically see traffic from Prevx when submitting behaviors/analyzing data with the cloud but it isn't anything to worry about :)

    Thank you so much:)

    I noticed that disabling MBAM Ip protection, issue seems to vanish.
    I also put MBAM into PREVX RC ignore list 'cause MalwareBytes' AntiMalware takes too long to run a quick scan.

    Another thing: I've read that some cleaners can create problems, I noticed that when I open CCleaner, OS freeze for a while, same when I try to destroy files with Glary Utilities free.

    Cheers

    P.S thanks for uploading screenshost in my behalf:thumb:

    Re: IE8 InPrivate Browsing - Fails

    Hmmm, after re-booting and turning off (unchecking) and then turning back on (checking) "Enable the Prevx Secure Browser", the InPrivate Browsing (IPB) function is now working. Strange, there may be a minor issue regarding your installation that requires - or at least "benefits" from - a re-boot. At any rate, the IPB function works even after several more on/off scenarios...so, I don't really have an issue to debug any more....:blink:

    I used the 3.0.1.65 all day without high cpu from svchost.exe (Windows Defender). I´m going to install the RC again to be sure its the from the RC.

    I like this little tidbit! It has a Lock when the Browser is open and Check mark when it is closed!

    If you open up the main Prevx interface it will update to the Lock/checkmark in realtime :D

    Sometimes we get a bit eccentric on minor details :)

    Resistance is (in some case) futile ;) ;)

    Running Prevx 183, DefenseWall on XP Home SP3, FF 3.5.2 browser

    See the GMail Manager FF add-on icon at bottom right of screenshot above taskbar.
    I have had this happen several times in three days. Uninstall Prevx and it stops.
    I cannot reproduce this at will and the only way to get rid of it is to reboot.
    Anyone else seeing this?

    Hello,
    Could you please try sending me a Tools > Save Scan Results scan log to report@prevxresearch.com? It very well may be an issue with Prevx blocking the addon from viewing the web contents if it is untrusted.

    If not, there are other things which we can analyze which the scan log will hopefully show :)

    Thanks!

    I've noticed a peculiarity - If I have my web browser (Firefox) window visible, then switch to my file manager (ie. so browser window is placed just behind file manager window), select a few files in file manager and scan with Prevx (from right click context menu), the web browser window is brought to the front at the end of the scan.

    Running Win 7 x64 RTM.

    Could you let me know what file manager you're using (or is it just Windows Explorer?) Also are you on a secured website or just a normal "blue" website?

    Thanks! :)
