    This pile of crud will have to go. Nod32 has once again blocked Prevx from updating to a new version. These constant FP's against Prevx is totally unacceptable.

    And no, it's not in quarantine.

    Why you use NOD32 version 2? Version 4 is excellent and have more improvements.

    I install Prevx on my system and there is no problem (I'm with NOD32 version 4).

    Without the detected files, the false positive report is incomplete and cannot be processed. Suggest they are submitted or at least clear steps how to reproduce the problem are required (what file to download, etc.)

    As I explained in my post, Prevx was blocked during as upgrade. This would have downloaded upgrade files which are no longer on my system & which I have no way of getting.

    Please let me know if you are an Eset employee.

    I use Nod32 version 2 because I have a server network. Any higher version will not run on an Exchange server & a mix of Nod32 versions across the network cause managing issue with the Nod32 Administration software.

    In addition, I know that where v2.7 is a light, nimble bit of software, v4 is a slow lumbering bloat.

    Wrong, v3 runs perfectly fine on servers as long as you PROPERLY define all recommended MS exclusions (this means no windows environment variables and no UNC paths).

    Yell loudly at ESET if you'd also like them to do the sane/right thing and provide all of these exclusions as simple checkbox options that are enabled by default, as well as support windows environment variables and UNC paths for exclusions.

    Not at all... please stop spreading falsehoods.

    Latest Remote Admin works just fine with v2, v3 and v4 clients.

    Wrong again. Properly configured & properly updated clients run just fine.

    This means:

    If performing major upgrade, completely remove old version, reboot client TWICE, perform push install of properly configured client (all exclusions properly defined - again, no windows environment variables and no UNC paths, etc) - latest v4 for normal clients, v3 for servers).

    If minor upgrade, install over top of existing installation, but be prepared to do a manual removal/reboot twice/reinstall if things go south.

    You are wrong.

    The Exchange server is supported by version 2.7. Version 3 will do nothing for an Exchange server, you should get your facts right.

    Thank you for admitting that you are an employee.

    Isn't it Eset's job to test again products that customers are using? Test it on one of your test rigs with Prevx installed. Update Prevx & watch all hell let loose.

    Is it possible to reproduce the problem with the free version? If the problem is with the registered version only, currently I don't have possibility to reproduce it.
    Believe me, I am interested in resolving the FPs, however it is hard without the help of interested sides.
    Yesterday I sent the PM to PrevxHelp asking for help to identify the files, no feedback yet.

    I'm unable to replicate the problem either. I've installed v4, updated it and subsequently installed Prevx 3.0 and updated it. Nothing was detected whatsoever.

    Following 2 beta builds were detected:
    3.0.4.182 (made late on the Friday)
    3.0.4.183 (early on the Saturday)

    You may test, if the 4403 solves your problem.

    Does that mean you had the same FP issue?

    I am curious to learn it too as I already downloaded the Prevx free installation file and am about to install it to complement my ESET Smart Security .437/4405. However before doing that I would like to be sure that no interactions between the both does exist.

    As far as I know - but I could be wrong - you certainly can run 3.x on an Exchange Server as long as you define all of the exclusions. However, you are correct in that it will not have the XMON feature that 2.7.1.x version has that is designed to integrate directly for Exchange, but you also run the risk of using a version that gets older with each passing day, and is more likely to have problems like you are experiencing.

    Also, obviously Marcos and the others are testing v4, but you haven't pointed out the SPECIFIC version that you were running until now.

    Personally, if I were you I'd just run 3.0.684 and be done with it.

    Yes but I put Prevx on the Exclusion list in NOD32 and it works fine!
