    To everyone who has had upgrade "issues" today - these were caused because of the false positive we had earlier with the MBR scan. We decided to wait to put out a new Beta for upgrade until we fixed this new functionality.

    We will have the new version out by the morning and you all should return to upgrading automatically again :)

    Only automatic. I recall 46 and 47 not being quiet ("Status" appearing), while 48 possibly could be quiet - didn't notice what then. I'm running a default (admin) account on WinXP SP3.

    I guess you mean for extra attention, cause all information that's new to the db is sent automatically. ;)

    We are still planning to have a website to send samples but for now, you can PM me and I'll forward them onto the research team :)

    More languages are coming soon also ;)

    Aha! Here we go again... updating to 49 showed the Status-popup once again.

    I am running the beta, 3.0.1.48, and when manually updating receive the message; "Prevx 3.0 update failed. Try again later".

    Any news on the new version?

    Hi Joe

    Running .49 and am puzzled as BOTH 'Scanning and Detection' & 'Realtime Infection Monitoring' Configure optiosn point to 'Setting' when I would have thought that the latter should point to 'Tools'. o_O

    Am I losing it or what? ;)

    Also, I think that the colour impact of the latest build seems to be toned down...washed out...which I do not think is good.

    Other than that the build seems to be working well so far! :D

    The Configure buttons are currently just placeholders :) We haven't yet changed the colors, so this is the same as it has been but we are going to be changing them to be stronger/less washed out :)

    Also, for everyone who has asked before - you can now click on the text "Total Scan Statistics:" and it will let you reset your front screen statistics :)

    Beta 3.0.1.48: Scan Scheduler has an option for scanning at next bootup if the machine was powered-off at the scan time. Many machines use "Suspend" mode rather than powered-off. The Windows task scheduler provides an option to "Wake the computer to run this task"...can you add such an option to the Prevx Scan Scheduler...?...o_O

    ...no auto-update to 3.0.1.49 yet 9:09 AM EST...

    If you try now, are you still receiving the error if when manually updating?

    Just to clarify - did you upgrade by clicking "Check for updates" or did it update automatically?

    Yes, but it may be easier to just have a web based form. Our software automatically sends up data about samples so if there is a new threat emerging, chances are we know about it.

    Web-based submission is useful for the "one-off" types of threats but if we do add it into the product, it will probably just be a link in the product to the web form.

    Hi Jo

    Understood. Thanks for the clarification.

    However, with .49 I have had a reocurrence of the legitimate MBR modification (by RollBack Rx in this case) being detected as a Rootkit activity, as detailed in the following post:

    https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showpost.php?p=1441413&postcount=3237

    Any chance that this could be corrected as under .48? :D

    Just clicked 'Check for updates' - tells me a new version is available - I clicked yes to install, activity down at the task bar from prevx as usual - BUT, the tray icon has now disappeared and clicking on the shortcut is producing no response - it's dead :(
    Start > all programs > Prevx gets no response either. Cannot start it.
    I'm going out for about 15 mins or so, I'll see what you recommend when I get back. My instinct is to uninstall, clean up any registry entries and try a fresh install - would that be a good idea? :doubt:

    Could you first try just rebooting? If that doesn't solve it, then yes, you'll want to uninstall/reinstall :doubt:
