Introducing, The New Prevx Edge.

Did you try a complete removal of McAfee as in http://majorgeeks.com/McAfee_Consumer_Product_Removal_Tool_d5420.html ? Seems to work with later/Vista products also. Have seen a number of posts about residue left interfering with the installation of other security products.

 

Joe,
Now using 3.0.1.3 and do not have the 'Scan With Prevx' option available in the context menu when I right click a download item on the desktop that I might want to check. It is checked in the GUI menu though. Have had problems with this for a long time but forgot to mention it before. When I have had it available it has rarely worked properly. Any ideas?

 

Hello,
Could you please try uninstalling and then reinstalling from 3.0.1.3? We had an issue a few builds ago which could have broken the right click scan.

If that doesn't fix it, let me know and I'll investigate further

 

Did a complete uninstall > crap cleaner > install. Right click scan working fine. Just after a r/click scan completed and I clicked OK the Edge 'eye' went red, the icon disappeared for several seconds and then came back up with a green 'eye'. Is that normal?

 

This is not normal - that would tend to indicate that Edge encountered a problem. Could you open the event viewer (Start > Run > eventvwr) and see if there are any red "Errors" which reference prevx.exe? I'm guessing it would be logged in there if there was a problem which can be diagnosed "easily"

 

Have checked the event viewer and there are two red errors but they do not relate to Edge at all and occurred several hours before I reinstalled Edge. The 'source' is C+Serv and 'Event' is 2 for both of them.
Since my previous post I have managed to open the GUI when the 'eye' went red and the 'scan now' bar was red with the message that I needed to reboot to enable protection but Edge enabled itself before I had a chance to reboot.
However I have just uninstalled Shadow Defender, I very rarely use it and it hasn't been on for several days but I have once before had some strange behavior which has disappeared when I removed it.
Will let you know if the problem returns.

Edit: have just done a scan and the file count has dropped from the 17,000+ I mentioned the other day back to 5-6,000 it used to be, so perhaps the something Edge was suspicious of was Shadow Defender.

 

I had this problem earlier and this is what I did!!

Thanks for your help, I have sorted the uninstall and reinstalland it appears to be working fine now.

I have attached the scan log for you.

 

Thank you for the log The file was indeed a false positive and has been corrected now Please let me know if you find anything else!

 

new version working fine on my vista

 

i am having trouble with downloading the prevx edge

 

Last night I tried to download the trial version to see how it runs on 1 of my computers.
Click on the download, goes to another page and nothing happens.
The box to download never appears.
Tried several times.
Problems with the site?

 

Hmmm, I don't seem to be experiencing any problems

Are you having problems actually loading this page, or is the problem related to clicking the button but nothing happening?
http://info.prevx.com/downloadedge.asp

 

The page appears fine from your link but I can't find anything to start the download.
The only clickable link is for the 64 bit version.

 

I just tried it and the big "download now" button is clickable and starts the download dialog on my system. Using Opera 9.63.

 

Is the big green "Download Now" button not appearing for you?

What browser are you using?

 

The big button is there now!
I will install tonight after work.

I still use IE6 by the way.

Thanks for your help.

Hi,

I am using W2K-SP4 and 1Gb RAM with a Pentium 4 2.3Ghz

besides I have installed as residents:

avast! 4.8 Home
SAS 4.25.1012
OnlineArmor 3.1.0.20
LinkScanner Pro 2.7.2.0120

Would it be too much or an overkill to have also installed Edge and would it conflict with any of the above?

How about slowing my machine: RAM usage? and CPU% ?

Is it easy to uninstall or does it leave left overs on the registry hard to get rid off?

Thanks for answering my questions

My qustion is how can you provide hips with vista 64 bit .Vista has patchguard you cant have kernel hooks etc.Has Pervx 64 the same functions as vista 32 bit and xp dus pervx run ad kernel

Sorry for my bad english

 

x64 does offer functionality which allows antivirus developers to monitor system functionality. Edge doesn't use kernel hooks in the conventional sense so it isn't affected by PatchGuard

 

Hi,

I installed 3.0.1.3 on a clean install of Vista x64 with SP1. By default, the checkbox "Enable "Right Click" Scanning" in Windows Explorer" in Edge Settings > Protection Settings is checked, and the option "Scan with prevx Edge" is available. However, when I untick this checkbox, this option is still there. Then, when ticking the box again, the option to "Scan with Prevx Edge" disappears?

 

Hmm.... had you installed 3.0.1.1 or .2 before? Those versions had this issue which is corrected in .3.

EDIT: Never mind, I just reproduced it here! Not sure what is causing that but we'll have it fixed soon

 

If you need additional security depends on your browsing habits / common sense. In my case your current setup would suffice.

As avast! and Prevx Edge protect against all kinds of malware, I don't see the need of SAS if you would decide to give Prevx Edge a try. But I am not an expert.

Edge is designed to be highly compatible with other security software.

Edge is very light on resources. It's easily installed and uninstalled. But I don't know what traces are left behind.

 

To prevxwebdesigner, this page still shows that prevx doesn't support 64 bit http://www.prevx.com/buyoptions.asp

 

Edge 64 bit is still in beta, CSI hasnt got a 64 bit version and 2.0 does although it is an unfinished beta.
