It appears that Mr. Morris did well financially on this deal!
It does not look likely that “the CEO that brought Prevx to where it is today” will take over Weboot. In fact, it appears that Mr. Mel Morris...
Hopefully, we will at last see some solid anti-malware comparatives that include Prevx, in order to empirically demonstrate the quality of the...
Webroot is a privately held company. Although the financial terms of the transaction are unknown, acquiring a company as small as Prevx...
Given that Webroot’s marketing is typically not ‘aggressive,’ perhaps one improvement will be the disappearance of Prevx's controversial “Threats...
The report issued on November 2nd states “The exact data... can be found on http://www.av-comparatives.org" (page 7). However, I do not see a...
Prevx has a grand total of 20 employees? With such limited resources, it’s a very good thing that they joined forces with a more established...
Interesting. Given the potential choice between (A) Prevx ceasing to exist at all and (B) Prevx continuing to provide anti-malware protection...
Perhaps the benefit to Prevx is that the company is able to continue to survive? With a relatively small number of paid users, the economics of...
Many of the comments in this thread are based on the implicit assumption that Prevx, in the absence of a merger/acquisition, could have...
Perhaps not the most likely explanation for the lack of communication from XeroBank, but one possibility (?) to consider is that Xero Networks is...
What precisely does “merge” entail?
Integrate? It sounds as if Prevx, both as a company and as a product, will cease to exist as separate entities. True or false?
This paper is a hoot! :) I love the embedded humor scattered throughout the document – it is very “AESthetic”! Example:
An interesting observation from Microsoft... Does this imply that a whole disk encryption product, running on a PC equipped with a TPM chip and...
The “open source” versus “commercial entities” comparison is not, fortunately, an ‘either/or’ proposition. Consider that PGP, a commercial...
Thanks for sharing the paper – it is worth reading for all who are interested in anti-malware testing practices. From my perspective, the main...
I guess it may be a question of how you define ‘reputation.’ Thus, from Panda’s perspective, what are the key distinguishing characteristics of...
Panda’s “Collective Intelligence” approach, while worthy of admiration at the time, did not use “file reputation data,” to the best of my...
FYI -- For information about Symantec’s “cloud,” please see this thread.
Thanks, Dan, for the clarification.
When examining the similar Whole Product Dynamic Test (August, 2010) by AV-Comparatives, the percent of malware test cases that successfully...
In this test, what is the precise definition of “blocked on download”? If a security product warns the user that a file is potentially...
Yes, I agree. The lack of authentication, however, may ultimately be due to WinZip’s conscious decision to adhere to the industry-standard Zip...
Actually, upon further consideration, I withdraw the question. The error in my reasoning, I believe, is that the central directory (i.e., the...
Separate names with a comma.
