Introducing, The New Prevx Edge.

Done - FPs fixed and your scan should also be much faster now as we don't have to read behavioral data from each file anymore

 

Question/Suggestion, Previous beta build cut of full screen app to notify the update, i havent seen that with other build before. Not a bad thing though id like it if the window would stay open and fade away till after i have hover on it.

 

Thanks Joe
realtime security and also realtime solving problems
Now scanning with right click & the other minor issue in Italian version are ok
great job man !!!!

 

Hi Joe,

I just installed NOD32 and I had Prevx 3.0.1.62 running with Max Protection and on reboot NOD32 deleted C:\Program Files\Prevx\Prevx.exe before I put it in the NOD32 Exclusions list! Just wondering if this should of happened?

TH

 

Ideally no... it appears that NOD32 has a FP against us again.

v3.0.1.62 is now live but we'll hold off pushing it out as an update until they correct the FP.

 

I was tring to say that with protection set to max should NOD32 be able to remove Prevx 3.0?

 

Joe, u think this will make it into the next build? That is if you think its ok

 

U mean selfprotect mechanisme

 

Yes sir!

 

NOD32 is loaded at the kernel level so it is able to remove us regardless of how strong our self protection is. (And vice versa We can remove NOD32 if we really wanted to, but I'd imagine it would result in some anti-competitive lawsuits )

Self protection is effective for programs in usermode - once something can get into kernel mode all bets are off, and, at that point, it shouldn't even bother trying to disable the AV because it basically has free reign, which is why some of our protection like the new MBR rootkit scanning can sometimes be a bit overly suspicious - if something malicious does infect the MBR, it can control literally anything going on in the system and there is very little anyone can do about it if they are directly targeted by the attack.

 

Thanks for the info!

 

Talk about fast changes, go to bed, wake up, go on line and I read the prevx thread and note that we have had these changes > 3.0.1.60 > 3.0.1.62. The update went as smooth as silk, compared to the previous one, as referred to here > https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showpost.php?p=1447199&postcount=3530

No problems with, i.e. right click, as reported by others quite recently, and by me even earlier.

 

We've moved to a completely silent automatic upgrade process to save some user confusion on upgrades so for now we won't have a feature to show the GUI after the upgrade but we can definitely add it as an option in the future

 

Seriously, Joe... you fixed a few thousand files on a little more than one hour, or did you get a little help?

Seems like I didn't need to remove the overrides - they weren't there when I manually upgraded, seeing that there's a new version out (and I don't run NOD ). Is it supposed to be like that?

 

Does that mean I shouldn't be seeing the Status-popup during an automatic prog. update?

 

I see PrevX Enterprise has now been released with a LAN management server option.

I asked a little while back but will ask again - if I have clients which are servers that spend their lives buzzing away serving files/services/applications but sat at the ctrl-alt-del screen, what protection would PrevX provide?

It seems a neat bit of software but if it still only monitors/deals with problems when someone is physically logged on a machine it's a huge gap for me on the server side of things.

 

Yes please do, personally i dont feel 100% silence operation is the way to go, a user needs to know that their security is functioning - update and detection,etc. popups are a must

 

I did have help The overrides are now automatically removed when the FPs are corrected (if the override fixes a bad > good)

 

We still don't have this support in yet - it will take some time but we are working on it as this is definitely a deciding factor for a number of enterprise users looking for protection on a server.

 

You "shouldn't" but that sentence makes it sound like you are

 

Ah, that's really cool - and great.

About the status thing, I'm not sure, but like you've seen from my posts, I've experienced it many times though I shouldn't. Same thing as that I was the only one not getting automatic updates before when we tested.

 

Hi and hope this is not posted in the wrong place. I just received the auto upgrade to Prevx 3.0.1.62. So that is great. Right before that I downloaded a firewall test from pcflank.com. When I tried to open it PrevxEdge RED, says medium malware risk, so I blocked it. Is this firewall test unsafe? Thanks, and I LOVE Prevx.

 

No the PCFlank test isn't malicious,but it does exhibit similar traits to malware in it's function (it's trying to break into your system).

 

I see Andyman35; makes sense to me. Kind of like the relationship with my dog and the meter reader. Thanks

 

I did a scan tonight and got a pop up message 'Proactive Defense'....
Suspicious action....'Suspicious driver installation.

Running process (PID: 2616)
C:\WINDOWS\Temp\pxinstall812.exe

I have had the Edge installed and operating fine for a month now with the icon in the task bar and now this

Icon has disappeared? is this the driver for the Edge and if it is I can't understand why I have been successfully scanning all the way up until now and then get this error.
I hope a member can assist, thank you.
As I don't know whether to 'allow', deny or add to trusted zone as the description after the Pop Up 'Proactive Defense" says:
' Process is trying to install driver and gain full access to operating system. Security control will not be available anymore. ??
I do not understand what is occurring nor what I should do.

I am no tech whiz !

Running Kaspersky A/V vers. 7.00.125, xp sp2 and no other spyware apps just the new PrevX Edge.
