Introducing, The New Prevx Edge.

It was quite late last night when i posted, I have more details and more questions.

I honestly believed the file to be clean, but looking back Drivesentry also gave me a warning for the same 2 installers. As I said, I repeated this three times with identical results for prevx and DS.
Yet some 20 odd minutes later there was no warning.

I treid downloading before and yes no warning at all from prevx and 1 warning from DS (not an installer warning)

I'm starting to think the site may have had a rouge installer on it. I have a threatExpert log of the offending file. CIM detected nothing, VirusTotal 2/39, and your scanlog.

Would the site administrater be aware of this? I know of a paticular site that links here, I don't think they would be impressed unwittingly linking to malware. WOT also rates it as trustworthy.

Should I inform the sites administraters, or what would be the correct procedure.

There was definitely a different installer involved earlier this morning

 

Hi,

Reporting what I think to be two false positives.

First is the ASIO component of foobar2000 (perhaps the most comprehensive audio player), downloaded from here, under the ASIO support section
http://www.foobar2000.org/?page=Download

Second is aucdtect.exe, part of Audiochecker 1.2, which verifies FLAC and APE files to see if the audio is or is not actually lossless. It's accurate most of the time (not always reliable for older cd rips).

They were Fixed now - thanks!

 

Very cool that I can already see the resulting clean scan on my end.

 

Hi Joe

Any news when the big improvements (how can you improve on Prevx 3.0 as is?) are due to be out for beta testing.

One bored beta tester here waiting patiently.

 

The changes take quite some time We're still deciding exactly how everything is going to fit in (and when we'll be branching off into Prevx 4.0 )

More news to come in the near future

 

Hi Joe, I take it many of the samples i sent you the other day are not malware (or real malware) as Prevx is only detecting one more than it did.

Cheers.

 

I just got back to the States from the UK but I'll be taking a look at them shortly

 

No worries. Prevx is still detecting more than Avira, A2 and Hitman!

 

Are you sure about Hitman as PREVX is incl. in that package? Maybe Joe can explain why...

When going v4.0, will the same licenses apply to make the process as seemless as possible? Maybe it's even just a usual program update, or what... ?

 

The engine included in Hitman is an extremely old version of Prevx which only supports a subset of our technology.

We haven't finalized all of these decisions but we will definitely be making it as seamless as possible We're currently focusing on some upgrades to v3 which will also be included in v4 (and should be ready in the next few weeks).

 

Thanks to you I noticed my grammar mistake - shows that I'm still learning. I live in Sweden, but languages have always been easy for me.

Guess v4 is what will still be the bomb then.

 

Hitman uses its own engine to scan the system locally. When it finds suspect files, they are uploaded to the cloud and scanned by the various engines, including an old version of prevx.

Hitman is good, but I have found several major issues with it failing to remove infections on reboot. I was testing it for the author, but he has not got back to me, so wont bother reporting these issues to him.

 

Yes, without trying to get it flagged by customs, v4 will be "the bomb"

 

Are you saying weeks for v4 or additions to v3?

TH

 

For v3 Sorry for being unclear!

 

Ok, how about v4 months or next year?

TH

 

We don't have an exact timeframe ready yet but we should have a beta/RC ready in Q3.

 

Great Thanks

 

How does one sign up for beta testing for you?

 

We'll let everyone here know as soon as it's ready and I believe we're going to have a formal beta program via our website as well

 

Great the more the merrier, this is why I'm a Prevx user now!

TH

 

Sign me up now. I am ready and waiting!

 

Q3 starts July - hope its the beginning and not the end of Q3
