Novatix (Cyberhawk) site down?

I haven't been able to reach Cyberhawk's home page (http://www.novatix.com/Cyberhawk/) for a couple of days. Anyone have any luck?

 

It´s down here too.

 

Same here. Yesterday and today I've been unable to reach the site. Maybe a DDoS attack? Anyone know what the last released version was?

 

that's odd i can't get on today, but i was on their site yesterday when i was showing my friend info on the program. hmmmmm

 

The Novatix server appears to be not responding.

The version listed on download.com and softpedia.com is 1.2.0.39, but it might not be current.

 

Down for me too, but support is up though starts very slowly.

Is the new version release the reason? Just speculation.

No fault of ours here. We lost all internet connectivity because of Q...t.

Sorry

 

Tracert stops at 172.20.68.218

Up and "ONLINE FULLY" tonight anyhow after a howbeit outage of sorts for many hours.

I also wonder how the new version is coming along..............

 

It´s funny: I can access the site using the browser but tracert stops at the IP shown above

Second the motion - I wonder what the status is too.....

 

Hello all--

We were originally targeting today for the release of the new version of Cyberhawk, but during our final rounds of intensive testing we ran into a few issues we'd like to address before our final release. Hopefully we'll get those last-minute items resolved this week and can get Cyberhawk 2.0 out to you next week.

We'll keep you posted!

Hello Cyberhawk Support. What changes have been made for the new version, and is there any type of Roadmap in the works for future releases of CH, and CH Pro?

 

Hi duke1959--

Here's a bit more info about what's coming.

First of all, both versions of Cyberhawk--Basic (the free version) and Pro--will be included in the same download. The way the model will work is that all downloads of Cyberhawk 2.0 will start out as a 15-day trial of Cyberhawk Pro will all features enabled. At any time during or after the trial period you may elect to register Cyberhawk Pro for continued access to all Pro features. Introductory pricing for Pro is set at $19.95 for a 1-year license for one PC, but you can get a license for up to 3 PCs for only $7.95 more (total of $27.90). If after the 15-day trial you elect NOT to register Pro, then the program will continue on in the more limited Basic mode. The "Basic" version is very close to what you're used to seeing now, in terms of features and comprehensive protection.

Enhancements found in both versions include better keylogger, rootkit, adware and buffer overflow protection, and general bug fixes (many of the issues addressed in this forum previously, including all the issues with the Community Protection settings).

The most important new Pro features include:
--Quarantining and removal of known malware
--Rootkit scanner
--and the Custom Rules settings (these are the old Rules Settings, re-tooled so they actually work properly)

Cyberhawk also supports Vista (32-bit only for now).

Down the road (in the next update, hopefully within a month or so) we hope to provide access to even further malware quarantining and removal features.

Regards,

Becky Dubrow

 

Becky: Thanks for the updates.

 

Becky,

do you also improve the resources usage by the CH service?

Regards

 

Yes--a fix for the high resource usage issue will also be included in this next release.

Becky

 

Will there be an update notice, and can the next release be installed over current version? It always worries me to update to a new version right away, so my next question is. Should I be worried.?

 

Are you still dependent on IE for running the program?

 

You will see an update notice, you can install over the current version, and you shouldn't be worried.

Well, we're not worried, but it's completely up to you to choose when you'd like to install. If you'd prefer to wait a while and see others' reaction to the new version, that's fine. We're not going anywhere.

Becky

 

Great question--thanks for reminding me of this issue.

As of Cyberhawk v. 2.0 you will no longer need IE 5.5 or above installed in order to run the program. We were able to redo the GUI in such a way that we no longer require IE be installed.

Becky

 

Okay CH Support, I won't worry. LOL. Thanks for the reply.

 

Glad to hear that

 

Thx Becky

This issue makes me uninstall your current build
