Introducing, The New Prevx Edge.

hopefully there will be no issue with RollbackRx & PrevxEdge....

 

There won't be If you upgrade to 3.0.1.50, the newest beta, it corrects the detection of Rollback Rx's MBR hiding

 

Only question is are you dealing with my actchk.exe or some other user? V49 said no problem with it; upgraded to v50 and got malicious, like a DB had been updated based on earlier report. But certainly not a program that I mind keeping quarantined. And everything else seems to work now. Thanks for the usual instant support; Ed.

 

Did you by any chance reinstall in the middle? That would have caused your overrides to be removed (if you had one marking ACTCHK.EXE as a false positive).

Based on the timestamps in your image it is the same file, first marked in 2007. However, it is possible that the file simply doesn't load in your system and is just sitting idle and therefore isn't malicious or caught by Edge by default as it isn't interacting with your system in any way.

 

No, I updated afterward. BTW, I did a full scan of C;/ a few weeks ago and didn't get anything off these files, just a couple of other false positives you fixed. And I didn't/don't have any overrides on my end.

 

Works very well with Rollback Rx now Joe! Great work!

TH

 

thanks and keep it up!

I'll wait for final version though.

 

Downloaded v3.0.1.50 and ran it through the paces. No problems. Thanks Joe for the Beta.

 

Got a minor remark I noticed on all the versions, that is if your settings are password protected, you can't press enter after you've typed in your password (have to click with your mouse on 'login')

 

Just received the update to 50 automatically after the bootup scan when I switched the machine on this morning, first time I have received an update automatically
And I can now put RollbackRx on again now that problem has been solved
Just itching for the fully configured *version two* now

 

Ran actchk.exe against Jotti. You and one other consider it malware, so will just leave it quarantined until I need it some day, then add it back in as an exception. Looks like a packer detector to me.
Regards; Ed.

 

wow only 1 AV detected it, and its quite an unpopular AV, it looks like it wuld be a FP, but u never know i guess.

 

On VirusTotal 7 find it and we catch it because it was used by malware before

 

Hello and thank you for the trial version.

I managed to read a few pages and them my eyes and brain went

Could you tell me please if Prevx Edge during this advertised "Live Scanning" would detect malicious code/program/booytraps/whatever on a web page if you happen to make a visit and "NOT" click on anything?

If yes, would you get a warning?

Thank you and yes, I have some other.... err other simple questions to come

I'm having trouble uninstalling Prevx Edge from one of my machines. I get BSOD about page fault in non-paged area. I'm trying to uninstall so I can reinstall after reinstall of DefenseWall. I've tried uninstall in safe-mode and in various stripped down startup configurations but have gotten nowhere.

If there is a solution somewhere in this thread can someone point me there or can PrevxHelp otherwise assist?

I have an image of the system partition from 3/28/09 that I can restore which is clear of both DW and PE but I prefer not to resort to that.

Thanks

P.S. Actually, I can't enable CSI Scanner service in msconfig without getting BSOD on reboot - that's the simple root of why I want to uninstall PE.
P.P.S. Eh, looks like yamaneko's post # 2853 holds the answer?

 

Why does the right click scan menu, ver .50 bring up the "open with" window? Prevx does NO scanning. Am I missing something? Joe or anyone?

 

Here is the fix Pat!

OK; I'll keep it quarantined. You don't seem to keep very good company, though.
Update: Checked my other computer, and that file/location is unique to Ultimate, not found in Home Premium, so not as widely seen. And the other copy of Prevx (regular license) doesn't have to deal with it.

 

That's a big BINGO! That did fix it and I thankee!

 

Thats what we do here is help each other

Newest SpywareBlaster is being detected. See the attached screenie. How long will these FPs carry on - till the end of the beta? No offence...

 

You can also uninstall the beta version and install the normal one, or does that also have the FP's?

 

I just got that too as I just now reinstalled with Beta .49 - I right clicked them and reported as false positive.

THANKS to yamaneko's post #2853, I was able to get the problem I posted above resolved.

Update to .50 went without a hitch.

 

Ofc I can, but that's not the issue of mine - it's the FPs, even if the beta is the cause.

 

Thats' why it's called beta. If you know what beta usually stands for, you should already have the answer to your own question
