    they should work fine together, but only way to know for sure is to try it out.

    We are fully compatible with CIS and as firzen771 says, the best way to see is to try it :D

    Hmmm...apologies but the thread linkage appears to be broken because pouring through the "bowels" of this topic I distinctly recall TRJAM commenting on how "PX folks find time to Continually Read All Posts"?

    However for accuracy .... on a historical note in the distant past they used to PAWS for the odd dump.....

    This caught me out with the upgrade to the beta version. See screenshot:
    It is self explanatory. Edit: spelling

    I solved the problem with following Joe's advice as per here > https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showpost.php?p=1440244&postcount=3151

    Patents are a joke in most cases. Don't tell me that in-the-cloud idea and technology is an invention of Prevx or PCTools. I don't know if you're talking about something more specific...

    Patents are made for 2 reasons mainly:
    1. Protect your ass
    2. Make money when you have no more ideas and you have forgotten that a business has to produce and not shoot on others.

    Most cases on patent infringements end out of courts because everyone has stepped over a patent of someone else. It's a tricky game.

    Hi Joe

    v3.0.1.47 just said hello with a post installation scan of my rig. Installatin so msooth I did not notice is...as usual. ;)

    The Smart Scan check box under Advanced Scan seems to have retained its setting between updates. :thumb:

    However, with .47 I got an Alert re. a Rootkit affecting \\.\physicaldrive0\mbr with a designation of Rootkit.mbr...with only the option buttons of 'Scan My PC Again' and 'Cleanup Now'.

    As I have RollBack Rx installed & protecting C: (drive 0) I had to right click & flag as a false positive/ignore.

    I recall have seen this before and previously had 'Trust Always' or 'Block' options available and I think that there was talk about this changing...cannot recall completely. Is this the right way to handle this going forward? Interestingly enough the scan following the update to .44 & .46 DID NOT reveal this so I was a wondering...o_O

    Thought I would raise it in case there is anyone coming across this.

    One thing I actually think about is that the "Status"-popup comes up when a program update takes place. Ofc this is nothing major, but still something I wanted to mention while we're talking about how "smooth" the installation is. Doesn't get much better than this though... :)

    We're investigating the MBR detection. We recently added scanning for a new MBR rootkit but apparently there are issues - we should have a fix shortly :)

    This is on the db-side, meaning that it applies to both the beta and final version, right? Thought the MBR detection was through heuristics. Is it both? (e.g. the new identifiable MBR can be detected through a signature?)

    It is both, but this false positive was caused through heuristics locally. We have v3.0.1.48 coming out now (to beta :D) which corrects this issue :)

    Are you updating manually or by clicking "Check for updates"? Also, are you using a limited user account? Updating "should" take place silently, but there are a few cases where it wouldn't.

    Our goal is to make everything as seamless as possible :)

    Joe,
    I am currently running 46, have not had an automatic update and if I click 'check for updates' it tells me I have the latest version. And yes, I do have 'Automatically download and apply updates' ticked.
    When I ran CSI before Edge was released it always updated automatically, but Edge has never updated automatically or responded to the 'Check for updates' request - it always says I am up to date no matter if I am running a released version or a beta, I have always had to download and install manually.
    Another personal bug particular to my machine?

    Very interesting... could you send me your license key by PM? I'll take a look to see if there is anything clearly breaking it.

    Got it and installed it. Removed the Ignore I set against the MBR detection and will scan to see if it is detected again. Will advise as to result shortly.

    Cheers


    Balders:D

    OK!

    Run with .48 and Ignore of MBR change detection removed...worked! No detection of the legitemate change by RollBack Rx.

    Nice one the Prevx Team! :thumb: :thumb:

    Beta 3.0.1.48 - If one has a password protecting access to the settings, then when one right-clicks the tray icon and selects "Configure Protection" the password dialog box is hidden underneath the main configuration dialog window. Thus, if one clicks "Settings" or "Configure" nothing appears to happen. If one looks at the Task Bar the "Password Required" button is there but, it does trick you for a minute....ya might want to have the password dialog box pop-up on top of the main dialog window....;)

    Good catch :) We'll force the password window to the top. Thanks!
