Introducing, The New Prevx Edge.

If i had to choose id be running Edge with SAS in realtime instead of kav but thats just me

 

Yes, Edge gets its strength from the online community database. Only few detection techniques remain usefull offline. But if you could manage to be online, when you first execute a new program, that should help.

... as far as I understand.

 

WOW.

PrevX Support: Is PrevXEdge compatible with Zemana's AntiLogger? Or is having NIS 2009, Zemana AntiLogger and PrevX Edge too much?

 

Is there any way to try the cleanup abilities or you have to buy the product first?

 

This has been raised before and I think that Prevx are considering a 30 day completely unrestricted trial period just so that the cleanup abilities can also be tested...but since this was discussed I have not heard anything more about this.

 

yep im still waiting on the functional 30 day trial

 

Ah, ok, Looking forward it.

 

This is correct - we are still planning the evaluation modifications, but the new design will be coming soon

 

We haven't experienced any problems with Zemana or NIS, so, it would be worth a try IMO

 

We pick and choose what programs we require - we don't grab a copy of every program as that is generally unnecessary and we can gather the behaviors automatically (which saves bandwidth, processing power, etc. over sending the entire file).

Edge does protect against real keyloggers - AKLT is a leaktest which is not necessarily covered by Edge because it exhibits significantly different behavior from a real, malicious keylogger.

 

Mosqu's post accurately describes our system:

Hope that helps

 

Hi,

Could someone PM me a sampe submission email address please as I have a file to send in for analysis.

Cheers

Going to trial this for a while. I see Defense + in Comodo blocked Prevx Edge from accessing the memory of cmdagent.exe but other than that, smooth as.

 

PH, has Edge been tested against all of the RoBoDoG trojans? could be a set-up question, though it might not be.

Does Prevx EDGE protect against Sinowal/Mebroot trojan?

 

Yuppers. Don't ask me how I know.

 

Yes it does. It prevents infections and it has been one of the first scanners (CSI) to detect infections caused by MBR rootkit

 

We've tested Edge against tons of infections and it always succesfully detected and removed them. Anyway, as you can have seen in this thread, if you find out any infection that is not detected by Edge, just PM us

 

Hi there,

Thank you!

 

Is there an issue with 1.72 and the tray icon/protection? When Windows loaded this morning I ended up with two icons - one green and one red. The green one goes when I hover over it and I get Prevx dis disabled? And yesterday I had no icon at all!

 

Known issue apparently and Prevx are working on it. Presumably if you try and re-enable (the red one) PX simply requests a reboot and you loop the same scenario? I've gotten similar scenario from every build from 165 to 185 (only on one testbed though).

If so one thing you consider trying is a (very)crude work-around (until fix):

Check if pxark (probably named CSIScanner) in SERVICES(via MMC) is on automatic and has started? (if it hasn't you should also have an entry in SYSTEM event log indicating pxark failed to start before it timed out)

If it isn't running try manually starting. If this "kicks" PX3 into life then you can semi automate this by using the RECOVERY options for that service by introducing a restart delay. The amount depends on how long the desktop startup takes to stabilise/complete eg in my memory constrained VM test system i used 10min for first and second recovery restarts.

If above doesn't apply then check you also have SELF PROTECTION option on PX3 disabled.

hth (I guess I now also have to append disclaimers: I'm not an expert, use at your own risk etc etc)

 

I tried PrevX Edge Protection + Cleanup (I asked at support and they gave me a 7 day license).
It's still buggy, especially GUI bugs, but I think that they will be fixed quickly.
The only major problem I had is that I couldn't uninstall correctly, every time I tried I got a BSOD about the pxark.sys driver, I don't remember the BSOD message though, it was probably because the driver couldn't be unloaded. I had to boot into safe mode to uninstall correctly.

 

I experienced exactly the same problem. v180 wasn't loading protection at bootup and restarting as suggested didn't work and resulted in an endless loop.

I then tried to uninstall it and got a prevx messaging saying uninstallation successful but this was quickly followed by a BSOD with an error message reguarding the pxark.sys driver which couldn't be unloaded. Once started up I found that Prevx hadn't been uninstalled as reported by the message box and was forced to use safe mode like emperordarius to uninstall it.

I am now back to using v172 which appears to be stable on my system but I am unsure whether it will have the same BSOD issue with uninstallations as v180 did. I believe that Prevx are working on a solution to this significant problem and it should be resolved soon. Just out of curiosity which version did u experience the problem with emperordarius?

 

Exactly the same with me.
I used the latest version, so I guess it was 180
