    demon, give it some time to do 'its thing', authenticate files etc.

    List what else you are running if you can. DefenseWall, sandboxie?

    You don't have to update every day - the updates are only software updates as all of our signatures are centralized so we rarely have to actually put out updates, only when releasing new features/functionality/bugfixes.

    Vista32, Prevx3.0.1.62

    I've got a problem with Prevx3 on one of my networked computers. Prevx will not connect to the Internet. I uninstalled, rebooted & reinstalled but Prevx still will not connect - to the extent that I can't install the licence key.

    The network is connecting via ISA Firewall through an SBS2003 server, but the problem is unlikely to be ISA, because my computer here is connecting in the same way with the same config.

    Has this issue been seen before?

    Secure Browser

    Hello
    I've been using Edge/Prevx 3.0 for some time and since it changed names I hadn't visited the Prevx website. Doing so today I noticed there was a Prevx 3.0 Overview available for download as a .pdf. There I saw that Prevx 3.0 has a secure browser feature. That's totally new to me. I thought I had Prevx 3.0 with Realtime Protection, but I haven't come across that feaure.
    How does one use the secure browser?

    Thanks

    Re: Secure Browser

    Can you provide a link for that .pdf - I've been all over the site and I cannot find it. The secure browsing feature was announced for Prevx Enterprise a week or so ago, I was not aware that they had revealed that it is to be included in the Prevx 3.0 Home user edition yet.

    The secure browser is currently only available for our eSAC e-Commerce Security platform and not for the home users just yet.... but it will be :)

    Can anyone tell me how to "execute" the secure browser feature? Does it exist or is this something down the road? Attached taken from the pdf file:
    EDIT: OOPS, only 2 minutes between posts that explained this, should have waited. :)

    Joe,
    Now that the cat is out of the bag so to speak perhaps I could ask a few questions:

    1) For beta testers will the *new version* arrive unannounced by automatic update or will there be a pre release notification.

    2) As this is obviously going to be a somewhat different Prevx 3.0 will there be an in house *help file* for lack of a better description so that we don't make a real hash of things. After all, we don't want to break anything :D

    3) As it appears to be a sandbox based feature will those of us using SandboxIE need to uninstall it before updating Prevx 3.0 or will they exist side by side - or will it be up to us to find out :D

    1) The new version will be unannounced as an update but I'll announce it here once it comes to beta :) You will be able to switch it on in the configuration options.

    2) All of the secure browser functionality is built on top of Prevx 3.0 so the actual outside changes are minimal and everything is used on-demand so you probably won't break too much :D

    3) Currently it is the inverse of a sandbox - preventing anything from touching the browser, but we're in the process of completing SandboxIE-like features which will be compatible with SandboxIE :)

    Hi. I usualy use Sandboxie - but it wont work on Windows 7100. Would the new functionality of Prevx duplicate that of sandboxie rinning IE?

    It isn't a complete duplication of Sandboxie but provides some of the same functionality. The core functionality of the secure browser is to prevent keyloggers, screengrabbers, etc. from accessing the browser. We are also adding in drive-by protection and exploit prevention around the browser but it doesn't emulate the system quite like Sandboxie does.

    That sounds kinda like AVG LinkScanner - in other words, really cool. :D

    So, this will operate so that the user can still install new software, but is much more secure? Is it browser-independent like AVG LinkScanner with its core for instance?

    Version 3.0.1.65 (64-bit) is working perfectly on the Windows 7 beta.
    Great work Prevx!

    I have a 5-user due for renewal, but only 4 computers now. Can I downgrade the number of computers at renewal, or do I need to buy a new licence?
