    I still have one complaint, or wish. The green dot in the tray icon is so small that unless you have the eyes of a 20 year old, it just doesnt stand out. I loved the tray icon for Prevx 2, thought it one of the best ever created. Would love to see something like it used.

    o_O We ran tests against Norton and OneCare on Vista SP0, Vista SP1, XP SP2, XP SP3, and Windows 7 and we are added into all of them. I personally have Edge installed as antivirus and antispyware on Vista SP1 x64, Windows 7, and XP SP3 (just AV there ;)).

    I'm guessing there is another factor involved here but the security center is such an unreliable area, I'm not sure we're going to be able to solve it in the next release. Thank you for the testing on this - I think we've proven that the security center is one large headache :D

    I'll forward your request onto the graphics team, however, we can't use the same icon as P2 because that would create a great deal of confusion. I'll let you know what I hear back :)

    thanks Joe, but the color side of it does need to be bigger.

    I have found that when uninstalling Edge then reinstalling a newer version, that remnants like the Prevx CSI folder in C: Programs remains. When I uninstall I go back and delete this folder then reinstall the newer app. Try this and see if it shows in the security center.

    This is weird... why would Prevx all of a sudden detect a part of ThreatFire (TfFsMon.sys;ThreatFire Filesystem Monitor) as Age/Spread Criteria Violation? Yes, it's a beta of TF, but it's not that new and has been running on my PC for atleast several days now, together with Prevx.

    Please see the following screenshot:

    A little bug with updating Prevx 3.0.0.246 to 248 through the Check for updates option in the menu. Prevx freezes and shuts itself down followed by a warning from windows that the application crashed. OS is windows 7 x64.

    By the way, manually starting prevx again showed that it successfully updated itself.

    I can confirm that Prevx is detected in Windows 7 as a antivirus (not antispyware)

    Hello,
    I'm running Prevx Edge 3.0.199 evaluation mode and have one question:
    why does it take a while before Prevx icon shows in system tray when changing between two accounts on same computer?
    Just so there is no confusion, I'm not talking about initial login, but afterwards, when just switching between logged in accounts.
    Running windows xp sp3

    ThreatFire could have easily just pushed out an update which would cause that to happen - could you PM me a scan log so I can fix it?

    We'll keep an eye out for this, however, what other security software are you using? It could be an interaction between then during the update process but its hard to say at this point.

    Switching between users is a complex process for any software and in order to prevent multiple tray icons from showing up, we sometimes hold off adding the tray icon into the new user account until the user is definitely remaining logged in.

    Yes :) This build has a small number of minor fixes - nothing too interesting to report but we're getting close to ending this beta phase and moving live with this version :)

    And reinstall ESS and it kicks Prevx Edge and SUPERAnti-Spyware off of the Security Center so no big deal :thumb:

    Helix, check if Prevx shows up at both spots by clicking "Show me the antivirus/antispyware programs on this computer." ;)
