    Anything yet?

    Probably has been already asked but please if somebody can answer this questions:
    SafeOnline Free will be also updated to v4?
    There will be any new feature in SafeOnline Free or will be like now but better?

    I guess there nothing yet about the new features?...

    The release date was 11 Jan, there is any other date now?

    Thanks in advance

    It was not - we are still in the internal testing phase but a public version is coming soon. I will keep everyone here updated as soon as we're ready :)

    @ PrevxHelp

    May I send you a PM regarding a concern I'm having regarding something I came across with a few days ago, so that your malware research team can take a look at it? At least, one other tool feared to scan what I found... fearing attacks to their servers. :D

    Sure :) We encourage attacks to our servers as if we can't handle something, we fix it so that we can ;)

    That's among one of the things I like, Joe. You actually encourage people to attack the software/servers. I remember the fellow creating a hack tool to terminate the Prevx protection; he did provide your team with great knowledge of how to improve the protection of Prevx... for free!

    I am looking foward to the beta release of Prevx 4 so I can finally run it on my VMs and on my desktop! I'm really going to do my best to put Prevx in a bad position when testing it so you can improve it further! Rest assured, I am going to be a pain in the back!

    I'm not really sure if anyone has mentioned before, but this time, I know I didn't. :D

    This may even, if taken under consideration, delay the introduction of the first beta version. :D (Joke aside, seriously, it may! :D)

    I'm wondering what you guys think of a feature, off by default (with usability in mind) that could allow the user to prevent the web browser from downloading anything? Not only the parent process, but also preventing any child process from initiating any download?

    Bring it on folks. :D

    I'm not sure that's 100% foolproof on x64 systems.

    Joe said something about about a sandbox 'light' (not his exact words as he was merely touching the subject in a previous post in this thread) in Prevx 4 but we cannot grasp how it'll work. Seeing as Sandboxie offers a similar feature as you suggest m00nbl00d, I suppose it is doable. Any road, we will be seeing a beta version within a month or two. :)

    I wouldn't underestimate our advances in x64 protection ;)

    AFAIK, with Sandboxie it's possible to restrict what can start/run and access the Internet, but you can download anything just fine.

    What I meant is, as an example:

    Chromium process is chrome.exe. This is the parent process. Then there's more chrome.exes. These are the children processes. Anything that the main chrome.exe process starts is its child, be it other chrome.exes or other processes.

    I was talking about a feature allowing the user to prevent parent (chrome.exe) and children (chrome.exe/other process) from initiating transferences.

    AFAIK, with Sandboxie such is not possible o_O (I use it, so... unless I missed it all this time, there's nothing similar in Sandboxie.) (Anyway, I do not wish to hijack this thread with Sandboxie. :D If you know that such similar feature exists, you could PM me mentioning it. I'd love to know about it, for sure. ;) Or, what you had in mind, was what I had just referenced about start/run and Internet access permission/deny?)

    :)

    Of course it's a joke, even screen-shot of the GUI is hush-hush :D

    IMHO, first alpha will be released in late November 2011.
    Final product will be available, like denis said (2012), in early-mid 2012 , Q2 probably, mid stage of Q2 :)

    You know, all this with v4 is a mask for some questions / issues.
    If someone has some problems, answer is "That's solved in v4" :D

    You just have to wait, that's all :p

    Show must go on, stay tuned :argh:
