Introducing, The New Prevx Edge.

It does work alongside Threatfire, but we've had a couple users complain about PC Tools Firewall. You "may" want to set self protection to Minimum (but if you're using 64bit it should actually be fine out-of-the-box )

 

People dont want to use this with Treathfire, they want to use it by itself. That is why it is imperative a customer has the option to block automatically. Edge should not need crutches. Is that why .37 has the default for self protection set at minimum. Not good. Edge sets the standard, let the others adjust to it.

 

Edge's self protection setting by default is Medium but we do periodically have to recommend setting it to Minimum because of other products with aggressive protection modules that are incompatible with Edge.

"Block automatically" is definitely a good feature to have - it won't make this imminent release but the next major release will include it

 

then GES/POR and I, are at peace.

 

Someone could not believe us, but we're seriously taking care of that

 

With Block Automatically, Edge will have bridged the gap between AV and HIPS. A product that has yet to be defined into a specific security application gender. It continues to evolve, left and right each week. It really is a trip watching where this may eventually end up.

 

After installing on my Vista set-up, Prevx Edge has always had a default self-protection setting of Minimum.

Does the program set its own level depending upon what other security products it detects during install?

 

using Avira Premium + Mamutu as main realtime secuirty apps, would u advise keeping edge at the default self protection level or medium or do u think i should put it to minimum?

 

im on vista and its default was Medium with Avira + Mamutu installed

 

Another vote for this I did raise this point a long time back soon after Edge came out.
This is getting to look better and better

 

I like the term, "main realtime secuirty" though I dont agree, with respect. Try medium and if a issue drop it one level.

 

well i dont really consider WinPatrol or Rollback Rx as so much as real-time protection with self-defence, i consider them more as just regular apps that run in realtime yet provide protection/utility for me. and i havent noticed any issues, but im wondering if their could be an issue behind the scenes that i dont notice by keeping it at medium.

 

I know my friend. I think Avira and Edge though, are a killer combo and will be light on your resources. Kind of like what I am using. I am not sold, on Mamutu.

 

im using free trial of edge though, just as a notification tool sort of is why. since it adds NO slowdowns of any kind, i thought i might as well keep it as reassurance

 

It still has a impact on resources. I am trying Chrome and like it. With what I have it allows me just that extra little bit of speed when loading web pages.

The reality is, Avira covers just about all, forget tests and what others say, nothing can touch it right now. Edge is different but pretty much covers your ass like Avira. They dont conflict, they use very little resources and with the 2, you really cant get any more protected. With the 2 you have the best out there right now. Plain and simple.

Of course Sandboxie is nice to.

 

Avira Personal and Edge Free has got to be the most populair freeware sec. combo on here now, havent seen it any sigs but im pretty sure alot of lurkers have it runnin and cant disagree. Speed of development is quit high(frequent program updates) + support is grand + high detection + low resource usage but the frigging best of all is i kinda look at these apps as "by users, for users" as in user input is processed

 

i definetly agree with you

 

There are some factors which come into play in defining the default self protection level, but you may consider uninstalling and reinstalling to see if that resets it to medium, if not, Edge has probably determined that Minimum is the best setting for your system.

 

I have mine set to the MAX and no conflicks with what I use!

The release is scheduled for tomorrow

 

Good glad to hear that.
