Introducing, The New Prevx Edge.

I have been running Edge for about a month now and can't go without it in my setups.

 

I ran EDGE in trial mode..and it came up with a FP I beleive (have reason to beleive it was a component with my Lenovo Desktop)

Fiile is C:\ProgramFiles\Lenovo\MultiRecover\windisk.dll

Just letting you guys know, is there some sort of a test license I can test this software of further before buying it?

Matt

 

Try uploading the .dll to Virus Total for another opinion?

Prevx on Windisk.dll

SAS on Windisk.dll

 

If you could send us this program or click Tools and Settings > Save Scan Results, I will take a look to see if it is a false positive or not.

I'll also PM you a test license to trial out the disabled/limited features of Edge

 

Great program running with XP SP3 and Firefox along with Avira. No problems so far.

 

Went ahead and bought it for my wife's system (mines 64bit so no go). Very clean interface and easy to understand.

 

i think i have an issue with prevx edge. After the computer booted, i went to check the task manager and one prevx service is using 18k another using using 12k. But after i open the gui, one service reduce to using 1k . I repeated doing this and i can conclude that the prevx service memory usage will only reduce when i open the gui.

So do anyone here have this issue or it is a known issue??

FYI, my setup is in my signature.

 

False positive report:

Filename: Scan.dll
Directory location: D:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\
Source: Blizzard World of Warcraft
Virustotal report: 2/38 (eSafe:Suspicious File, Prevx1:Cloaked Malware)

OS version: Windows Vista Ultimate SP1 Dutch 32-bit
Prevx version: Prevx Edge v3.0.0.199 (medium heuristics)
Detected as: Cloaked Malware

Explanation from a Blizzard employee:

Rename "Scan.txt" too "Scan.dll"
Download: View attachment Scan.txt

 

I am very impressed and shall purchase a license in a day ior so, just trying to get the funds to

 

Here is some screenies to address my issue.

After:

Thank you for the report The file is indeed legitimate and we've corrected the false positive.

 

I don't believe there is a problem here Edge optimizes its memory usage frequently so you may see some change in the memory allocated to Edge (almost always for the better )

 

But prevx service will only reduce to 1k and stay at it when only after i open gui. So there is nth wrong there?

 

The GUI is the process which is dropping its memory usage. It does require as much memory as it has allocated, but Windows periodically pages out areas of process memory so depending on what the GUI is doing, it may allocate more or send more back into the pagefile.

 

ok thank for the clarification.

 

i have found 1 false positive with firefox 3.1 beta 2.

This is the download link for it.

I've forwarded this onto the research team and it will be sorted shortly

 

ok, plz inform me the result ltr thank.

 

Hi PrevxHelp,
Just spent almost two hours reading this thread and your reaction time is unbelievable. You are always here to help, all credentials go to you

Well, having ntb Vaio, dual core, 4GB RAM, Vista Business with Eset Smart Security v3 running on and so far so good. However the Edge's capabilities sound impressively so I would like to honestly know ...
1) Do you have any issues with ESS?
2) Is there a benefit or sense to complement ESS with trial version (only) of Edge?
3) How about Edge uninstall, easy way, no remnants (like Symantec) which would have to be hunted and manually deleted?

Thx and regards.

Hello,
(Sorry for the delayed response time for this post, today has been quite busy )

We are not aware of any issues with any ESET product. They do tend to generate a periodic false positive on new releases, but they are always fast at fixing it. I think combining ESS with the trial version of Edge would be a very good compliment as Edge will pick up and complain about anything which gets past ESS.

Edge's uninstall routine is very tuned and removes everything. It periodically may require a reboot, but it almost always does not.

Please let me know if you have any further questions!

 

Any news on a french version soon?
I was told from someone in your support team that Prevx 2.0 was already supporting french language.
I then asked what were the differences between 2.0 and Edge but never got a reply. (it was about a week ago)

Care to answer me here, please?

Regards,
François

 

Sorry about the delayed response to the inbox. We are planning on adding further languages soon, but we are first focusing on product-based improvements rather than branching out into other languages for now. They will come ASAP tho

The core differences between 2.0 and Edge lie in ease of use and system impact. Prevx2 requires user interaction and requires significantly more resources when active on the system while Edge automates the answering process to virtually all prompts and requires very little resources/CPU.

Let me know if you have any further questions

 

1-Does 2.0 possess all of the "power" of Edge?

2-Does Edge possess all of the "power" of 2.0?

3-Is 2.0 as up-to-date as Edge (with respect to handling the latest malware & exploits)?

4-Is an update to 2.0 still planned?

 

Hello,
2.0 does not possess all of the power of Edge. With our new rootkit scanning, heuristics, and completely redesigned architecture, Edge is able to leverage our technologies far better than 2.0 can. However, 2.0 is still functional and will continue to protect against new threats, just not as well as Edge can.

2.0 is currently stable and essentially complete with no updates to the actual software scheduled. Updates to rules, signatures, etc. take place 24 hours/day

 

So how is the result??
Is it a false positive?
