    There are quite a few pieces that need to fall together (patent applications, database hardware, database development, and agent development) to actually get it to an official release. We don't anticipate too long of a beta process for the initial release but I'd suspect we'll have a beta probably around December with the live release mid-late Jan. Granted, there are quite a few parameters that we can't fully control so this may change slightly.

    Fair enough. Hopefully not too long until the beta will commence then. I wish Prevx good luck with the remaining pieces.

    I am not as concerned with a beta release date as I am with Prevx getting it right. Cook the steak as long as needed, I like mine well done.:D

    Yes,hopefully they will release the beta soon,truly because I am a fan of their application,but hate paying.So this is my thing because once the public beta is,well,made public,I can test the full product and be able to clean my system of any infection,and pepole may of seen my old post,asking how i can get a free cleanup of what the Free Scan detected,and I downloaded Hitman Pro,witch it has detected my infections and removed them.

    That will be during the Beta stage only but after you will still have to buy a license when it goes live! And lets not get into a discussion about it again as your other thread has been closed!

    Nothing wrong with that! When I need to,I will use Hitman Pro and (possibly) use Prevx's Free scanner for the free cleanup of adware and to inform me if I need Hitman Pro_Once P4 goes live,but once the beta goes live,I will have a testing license,right? No one can force anyone to buy something,just a tip (you might get more customers if you made something like AVG free edition,but way better with your detections.)

    Oh and just to tell you pabrate that is because I like to have some money left to get stuff like ANTIVIRUS or ANTIMALWARE. Anyway,I think I will enjoy this great beta! Prevx rocks!

    Just the time I would need to disinfect my system of anything that Prevx detects,please make this as quick as possible,If you give the machines used for building the Prevx software code a tuneup with a Utility Software like Advanced SystemCare,probably you can use that if you purchase Advanced SystemCare PRO. Or see if IObit has a buisness edition of ASC.

    PrevxHelp said the "beta testing community" will be provided with test licences, I'm sure you don't meet that required qualification :cautious:

    Well,if YOU think you know what PrevxHelp means,then,how do you become part of the "beta testing community"? if you don't know,then,ha,just what i thought.

    Man, I can't help but despise you. Your attitude is childish as you don't realize how a regular business model works. There's already a free version of Prevx, and if you want the full features you pay for the program. Having everything available for free will not bring Prevx any more cash to pay the developers' salaries. And hence, we would never see any progress of the program.

    Don't be cheap. And yeah, if you didn't notice, I'm annoyed by you.

    I certainly hope not. Beta programs need committed, conscientious testers, not cheapskates who exhibit borderline spamming activity in their posts. I suspect you have already disqualified yourself from any beta program.

    You've hit the nail right on the head here. We will go out of our way to compensate people who help us (I've given away many licenses to users here that have spent countless hours working with us to improve our software) but we are certainly not giving anything away to someone who is unsupportive of an actual business model. I know times are hard but times are hard for everyone. Trying to get something for free just furthers the problem... :-/

    I can't wait to test P4 but not for anything free...I actually like the software and think PrevX has done a fantastic job so far. More than money I am not going to waste my irreplaceable time testing a product that I wouldn't even pay for. I you want free stuff try a crack site.

    I wouldn't advise that since such sites can be a source of malware. ;)

    Now, if you pay for the application (in this case Prevx) you want, you don't get malware. Asking for free stuff is cheap, at least that's how the swedish culture looks like, and hence, I might be a bit biased.

    I wont normally chime in on threads like this but I'm going to this once.

    Prevx is a awesome product, I have used it on my Personal computers and then Deployed it as the Main Anti-Virus for the company I work for. It has been proven though and though to be a awesome product. Good detections, fast and stable platform and extremely low impact on the system over all. I have also personally ran it though Millions.... Yes I said MILLIONS of in house threats that come stomping though our door throughout the year. Prevx has had a VERY VERY VERY low miss rate and the ones that do get though are sent to Prevx and fixed within the hour.

    Any time I have had a problem with Prevx (Vent Issue that Joe Knows about) It has been answered as if I was a Multi Million dollar customer, very fast response times and 1 on 1 support to get the issue resolved. One thing I can say about Prevx is they treat all there customers with respect and sales a product that reflects that.

    Now the reason I bring all this up is it sickens me when I see people post "I want free stuff or I want this or that and give nothing in return for your hard work" So I want to state this for the record.

    What they charge is just amazing when you add up everything you get and all the personal attention you get if you ever have a problem with the product. I have NEVER in my 10 Years in the security field found a company that holds there customers in such HIGH regard Prevx does. To them there customers are EVERYTHING and they build there product around that.

    Next time you go around asking or stuff for free take a moment, And think, what would happen if it was all free. They would not be able to have the interaction with there customer base that they have now. You would have alot slower releases, More bugs, Crap support if any and really no way for them to keep the lights on at the office. People always seem to assume just because you are a company you have a unlimited amount of money to keep your self going. People need to take a step back and realize you really do GET what you PAY for.

    That's all for my rant.. Just please next time stop and think before you just feel like everything in this world should be handed to you at no cost and really what kind of place this would be if that was true.

    Then perhaps you'll finally removed that slow and glitchy PCA which can't even quarantine properly. :p
