Introducing, The New Prevx Edge.

We would rather not release an incomplete product, so, it looks like we're going to have to wait until every one of the components is translated/supports x64's architecture. We will begin working on it soon, but, as you may have seen from other antivirus products, it does require a significant amount of extra work, for a relatively small userbase still.

 

right this is my set up now, im going to run prevx edge and drive sentry, should be no conflicts and as of running for 1 hours all is good

 

what is the AlfaFF.dll file located in system32?

is it a part of Prevx EDGE?

if not, can someone be kind enough to tell me.

 

Hello,
This is not a part of Edge - the only components of Edge are:

C:\windows\system32\drivers\pxark.sys
C:\program files\prevx\prevx.exe
and a handful of small files in the All Users\Application Data folder.

From a quick search, AlfaFF.dll might be malicious. If you want us to take a look at it, please forward it on to me and I'll analyze it for you.

 

Upload it to virustotal.

 

yes, i would like you to check it out please.

if possible, id like to know what software i have installed that has placed it there.

 

That's generally a relatively difficult thing to do as there is no "papertrail" of installed files within the system.

Could you email the file in question to me (I believe you still have my email address )

 

of course, the file is sent.

 

0/36

malwarebytes detected nothing either, still need to know what it is though.

 

I've finished my analysis and the file is not malicious (Virustotal agrees as well - 0/36). The file is a component which communicates with a minifilter driver made by the company "Alfa Corporation".

Minifilters are the new, Microsoft-recommended way for a file system developer to design their software and are being used quite frequently now. The architecture is designed so that multiple minifilters can be loaded simultaneously, however, if one of them has a bug, it is possible that there will be multiple program failures.

You may want to contact both Alfa Corporation and Dr. Web to see what is conflicting between the two.

Hope that helps

 

thanks, drweb are already analyzing it aswell


the file sucks-ass, it cant cope with drwebs new self protection and gives me a BSOD every 5-10 minutes.

 

Running both NIS2009 and PrevxEdge here without problems. Both are super light

 

I think I found a couple issue. I found what I can only hope is a false positive. The new Drivesnap (DriveSnapshot frontend) that markymoo released today is flagged as infected. It hink this is in error. But ehen I click on the "Contact Support" button in Edge to try and submit the file but it crashed.

 

Uninstalled verything but Antivir - put Edge back on - smooth and fast. All Heuristics on highest.
Next move - add DW in a couple of days.
Think conflict was with ThreatFire - hope it wasnt with DW.

Best Regards

 

I thought I read the self protection was fixed? when I enable this option it shuts its self down.Minus this option No problems.

 

Same here.

 

What version are you using? Can you download the newest (v3.0.0.180) from the website to make sure that you're using the fixed version?

 

Hello,
Can you send me a scan log or the entry of the false positive? I'll get that sorted.

Also, we've seen the Contact Support issue intermittently and are looking for a way to fix it. We have another update scheduled for tomorrow which should address this and other issues.

 

This version I reinstalled it from scratch.Ok I enabled self protection again so far its holding its own.If if goes down again I will run with it disabled and see what happens.

 

How can we see what version are we using?

 

It's in the lower right-hand corner....

Best,
Mark.

 

Ok great, thank you for your information. We are still investigating a subtle issue with self protection but it should be overall fixed in v3.0.0.180.

 

Have been running Edge and DefenseWall together since beta testing started - nooooo problems
Very light, conflict free.

 

I really hope so maitey - 1 month is worth waiting upon

 

(Well, I wanted to like it)

Installed it and ran it for an hour or so, did scans etc. Found 2 files, one I know to be a FP and another I've used for years and never came up on any scans, but to be safe I let it clean that one.

Then Edge automatically rebooted (which I think should be addressed, it should tell you to reboot but then give you the option to do it then or defer it until you want to - I needed to close some programs and it didn't allow for the time to do that.)

When system rebooted it bluescreened with a "Unmountable_Boot_volume" error - thank the Lord I imaged my system right before installing Edge - after restoring from that image everything is back to normal.

Of course, no other software was installed and all the usual checks were done - and while you can never be 100% sure, I really, really believe it was Edge.

Dissapointed.
Mark.
