Prevx RC 3.0.4.221

Nothing too unusual there If the problem comes back.... let me know

 

I do have Security Center Problems with this built too!

All other builts were Ok. I think something is broken. Security Center shows that PrevX is not active.

Win7-64-bit

 

Works fine with me on Win 7 RTM 32bit!

Just tried Prevx RC 3.0.4.221 and had to uninstall it again. Running WinXP Pro + SP3, fully updated...

... I use the Foxmarks bookmarks synchroniser in Firefox, together with the attendant desktop agent called Xmarks (which synchronises IE favorites). With the Prevx beta installed, Xmarks reports errors synchronising with its server (it uses https for this) every time IE8 is started. Turning off Prevx's SafeOnline module makes no difference - I had to uninstall the beta completetly and revert to the public 3.0 release to solve the issue.

 

I have just installed this RC.

I'm running a proggie called Winflip (gives Flip 3D Vista effect on XP).

This proggie does not function when SafeOnline Browser Security is enabled.
When I disable SBS > Winflip functions.

 

Hello,
Could you please click Tools > Save Scan Results and send us a scan log to report@prevxresearch.com? This should allow us to find/correct the issue.

Thank you for the testing!

 

Hello,
Could you please try changing the protection from Maximum to High and then restart your browser? This should allow Winflip to work properly

Let me know if this works!

 

I have reverted to version 3.0.1.65 - which version do you want me to scan with?

 

.65 works fine

 

Done. You should have the email + attachment now.

 

Thank you for the log Can you please try running another scan and upgrade to the newest test release to see if that fixes it?

Thanks!

 

Okidokie: it works .

Thanx Joe.

 

Running ThreatFire and Prevx together shows "Prevx is deactivated" in Security Center and "No protection against Spyware" (because i have Windows Defender off).
Now if you "Register ThreatFire in Windows Security Center" the problems in the Security Center disappear but only ThreatFire is shown in SC.
If you untick it again, Prevx shows deactivated in SC again.

 

Do you mean the (32bit) download here?

http://info.prevx.com/download.asp?grab=edgebeta

In that case, that is the build I tested with. Just downloaded again and it is identical.

 

That is correct. Could you try rebooting your PC and run another scan with the RC build? I believe the issue is fixed now (at least it isn't happening for me anymore).

Let me know what you find!

 

No joy, I'm afraid. In fact, further testing reveals other issues too. Here goes...

1. I installed the 3.0.4.221 RC, re-booted and scanned.

2. On launching IE8, two Xmarks errors pop-up in sequence. The first reads:

Code:

Unable to post message to Xmarks synchronizer [126], please contact Xmarks for additional support.

On dismissing this, a second alert pops up, this time with the [126] replaced by [0]. The issue if fully reproducible with the RC installed, and occurs even when SafeOnline is disabled, and even when Prevx protection is fully disabled.

3. I have "My Documents" redirection configured on this (domain-joined) laptop. When Prevx 3.0.4.221 is installed, the offline files sync at logon and logoff proceeds horribly slowly. With 3.0.1.65, there is no such problem.

4. I normally use Firefox (version 3.5.3). If I use the IETab addin during a Firefox session then, when I close Firefox, the Mozilla Crash Reporter kicks in. Again this is reproducible consistently with the Prevx RC, but not 3.0.1.65. One interesting snippet with this is that the Mozilla Crash Reporter points the finger at my WebSiteWatcher addin. WDW is a web page change tracker, and it, like the PrevxRC, adds a small browser integration button to the Firefox and IE8 toolbars. It has always worked flawlessly though, so maybe the conflict is between WSW and the Prevx RC.

I have uninstalled the Prevx RC again, as this laptop is mission critical and I can't have these issues (though the effects of testing are isolated by use of Rollback RX).

 

Hello spm,
Thank you for the testing - I'll forward all of this information onto our internal test team and let you know what we come up with.

Also, if you get a chance, it may be worth setting the protection of SafeOnline down to Medium to see if that fares any better.

 

Well, given that turning it off altogether makes no difference, I'm not ready to commit the effort necessary to make such a test. When you have a build you believe will resolve these issues, I'll try to test again.

 

Hello all,
We've released the next test build and have moved the discussion to: https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?p=1558108

There are still a couple issues which we're investigating - the changelog is posted within the new thread.

Thanks again for the testing!
