Introducing, The New Prevx Edge.

I was wondering how long it would take for someone to find it (FWIW - the update is only for beta users currently)

Self protection is now enabled on x64, but the levels still aren't as strong as the ones on 32bit just because of how the OS is designed but we're going to be rolling out increased protection constantly behind the scenes

Thanks for the compliments! Please let me know if you find anything that needs improving/changing. We have a great deal of additional features coming soon as well, this merge was just the first step

Also, for what its worth - Prevx CSI and Prevx Edge are now completely merged into Prevx 3.0 (with CSI Cleanup and Edge Protection). This was done to significantly simplify the branding and make it into more of an "a la carte" product rather than having two separate downloads. Let me know if you have any questions!

 

Don't blame me, your installer works way to fast!

Everything's running smooth for now, gonna run some stability tests later on.

 

Question about Edge settings: what exactly does 'Only alert me if an infection is found' in Basic settings do? I assume it makes Edge less talkative?

 

Me too!

Because v3.0.1.40 is just working far to well...and I need something to test!

 

But the main Status Window looks washed out here on Vista.

In addition the Security Status indicates that Edge's real-time protection is off.

However, I thought that previously the standalone Edge in evaluation mode gave protection in real time!

CPU time may be up here too compared to solo Edge.

 

So without going through 3000+ posts,
how does one become a beta tester?

 

new version !
but warning, eset detect an FP :

Depending on your monitor, the status screen does indeed look a bit washed out - I'll see what our graphic designer has to say

Edge only provides realtime monitoring in the evaluation - it won't block threats but it will detect threats and scan (basically a realtime on-demand scanner).

Also, CPU usage should be lower in this version because of optimizations throughout and a simplification of the driver/usermode communication but if you see anything excessively high, let me know so I can investigate further

 

very nice :

 

We have actually just moved this setting under 'Scheduler' now because it fits more logically there - if unchecked, Edge would show its window after a scan completes even if it is clean. It is set by default and does indeed make Edge less talkative.

 

What's the difference between the "Scan with Prevx 3.0" and "Scan with Prevx Edge" options in the context menu?

 

Nothing besides an apparent bug in the updater Do you have both entries currently on your system? Ideally it would change it to just say "Scan with Prevx 3.0" however we'll be investigating this shortly to get it fixed in the next build

 

Yes, got both entries in my context menu. Quick question, the name "edge" will be replaced by "3.0" ?

Edit: Never mind, answered my own question still see the edge name in the menu.

 

Definitely washed out on this laptop monitor. But the least of my worries with any program!

Thanks. I meant detection and not protection previously.

 

Thx for the clarification.

 

New beta looking good.
So far running smooth as can be.

 

Got it! Installer was as slick as ever. Yeeha...here we go!!!!!

 

I only have 'Scan with Prevx Edge' so perhaps another version of the same issue

 

That would be a NOD32 problem.
Up to Eset to fix.

 

Same here.
No problems so far.

 

Hi Joe

Can you explain the rationale, when you have a moment, of both 'CSI malware Cleanup' AND 'Edge Realtime Protection' taking the user to 'License Information'? Seems a bit pointless if one has a license...or is this just a placeholder for something else yet to be released. ...as there is space available under 'Security Status'?

Other than that so far seems to be running a bit lighter both in terms of 'feel/responsiveness of rig' & what I am seeing in Task Manager & Process Explorer.

Well done...goes from strength to strength.

 

This is primarily there just to show them their remaining license duration (shown on the license screen), however, we are planning more things to put under those menus to be a bit less... completely redundant

 

Understood...

 

This is indeed an issue - we'll have the next update automatically clear down "Scan with Prevx Edge" by default as it installs so you'll be left with "Scan with Prevx 3.0".

Sorry for the bit of stolen screen real estate in your context menus for a day or so! However, if you want to clean up the menu now, if you click Settings > Basic Configuration and untick the "Enable "Right Click" Scanning in Windows Explorer", click Save Changes, and then go back and re-enable it, it will clear down the menu and leave you with a single "Scan with Prevx 3.0" item

 

I tried the Beta download link just after you posted about the upcoming announcement and the was nothing there then - a bit too eager
Anyway, running nicely here - just looking forward to the filling now we have a nice new case to put it in
