    Data is stored (anonymously) for future analytic purposes. This way, we're able to detect threats using logic which can cross-reference data from all known samples rather than just the data coming in at that time.

    Thanks. I think as long as it is anonymous and you don't identify individual computers, I'm ok with it. Do all the .exe files scanned on a PC get collected?

    No, we rarely actually upload the entire samples. We start with sending up a simple signature (to see if it is a known bad or known good) and then the database tells the agent what other information it still needs, which can include different signatures/characteristics within the program or behavior that the program makes (i.e. X program deletes Y file) to help determine if the file is malicious or not :)

    I've now received a refund - thank you. Out of curiosity, was the price for Prevx v2.0 (which I bought when it was the newest software...) 24.95 and not 29$ which it's now? I wonder that since that's what I've got in refund. o_O

    :D Well, Edge is v3.0 and we still have "Edge Realtime Protection" so it can probably stay Edge :)

    v3.0.1.65 is now going out live - minor fixes and some under-the-hood changes, nothing too exciting just yet :)

    the only thing stop me for try it / buy it , its the reason trial is only for detection not cleaning , until i see PREVX in real clean mode (edge 3) like avira or nod32 gives FULL function free trial , i never gona consider it as a buy software:thumbd:

    A Prevx scanning freeze fix.

    I purchased Prevx yesterday and after a few on demand scans using different settings I was happy and shut the laptop off for the night. This morning after booting up I did another scan and it stalled at 16% when it ran into a .dll file. A red window flashed too quick to read and a window read: Prevx Security Investigator has encountered a problem and needs to close. After several more attempts I was ready to give up.

    I also used a system restore point made just after installing Prevx but it still stalled at 16%. So I uninstalled Prevx.
    I then happened to read a thread about Registry Cleaners started by raven211. Having never used one before I tried jv16 Power Tools 2009. I followed the jv16 video clip on the companys website and it found over 1250 odd registry bits, it repaired 52 of them and removed the remaining. I then reinstalled Prevx.

    Next step I turned off Ad-Watch Live, (in Ad-Aware Anniv. Edition), did a defrag and a restart. Then I reinstalled Prevx and it's made 7 scans so far and works great. I'm amazed at the fast 2 min. deep scans.

    My guess it was all the junk registry stuff causing the problem. Thanks raven211 for the timely Registry Thread!

    Best regards,
    Edw.

    So very true! Great product AND great support-not the kind that may help your situation, depending.No! Prevx Support comes from a love of what they do, and pride in the product they offer. I admire a company with ethics.

    Thank you
