Introducing, The New Prevx Edge.

Just sent you a pm

 

Hi Joe

Just to say that the update to 3.0.1.15 seemed to go without a hitch...no aborted scan or the like...justthe disappearance of the sys tray icon which came back shortly afterwards.

So far so good but I will try to give it 'some whellie' later on tonight.

 

Great Let me know if you break anything!

 

Grrr... Still won't update automatically or manually...

 

Hmm... really not sure what's causing your problem. If you download the beta manually and then run it, does it upgrade your install properly?

 

Are FP also included in the table "We find and fix threats that your current security products missed..." on prevx.com?

 

Our FP rate is actually near 0%. If you take into account the hundreds of thousands of new files we see every day, I think the trickle of 1-2 very minor FPs here on Wilders is acceptable

Even if there were 1,000 FPs... every day... that would still be far less than 1%.

And trust me, if we had even 100 FPs every day, we would have some huge problems and probably no users

So, if you're looking to critique statistics, feel free to +/- 1% on what we detect over other vendors, knowing that we would have been out of business years ago if we came anywhere near 1%

 

Thank you

 

I know PrevX doesn't send any file data to your servers, but I would also like an option to disable the sending of filenames/paths. Call me paranoid, but I would rather this information was not sent.

 

I'm afraid that can't be done as these characteristics are used to help analyze/correlate samples

 

Nothing broke so far so looking good!

 

Yes, that's always worked properly.

Also noticed that scanning files in the recycle bin - even if this is possibly supposedly fixed - doesn't work. I tested by just throwing a file from my desktop in there - an AVI-video file. Came back with 0 files scanned.

 

Hello..what heuristics setting is recommended for best detection/less fp combo?will increeasing it to high decrease system performance?

 

We've experienced some mixed behavior as well and are going to be investigating it closer

 

It really depends on your browsing habits - many users can run on maximum with no FPs and some experience some by just moving to high. Increasing the heuristics, however, does not decrease performance.

 

I have just replaced Win7 and gone back to Vista. I tryed to install the liscense and it tells me Error:L044 The number of systems supported by this license has been reached How can I get this fixed. Win7 is no loner on this system.

 

PM me your license and I'll get it fixed (out of curiosity, why have you gone back to Vista? )

 

I use all settings on max n havent had a single fp so far

 

Is there any way to turn off these little pop ups in the bottom every time a file is checked?

 

Sorry for my English, I am Italian
When you released the new stable version?
I know that GUI will change so much. i saw boys here with a beta
Then I will have to replace part of the guide in my signature (for italian people)
The new stable come this week?
Thanks for the info

 

Currently no, but I'll add that to the list

 

Hello,
The next stable release should be coming either by the end of this week or next week. We're just finishing testing against all of the other security products on every OS but as soon as we're finished, we'll be releasing it

 

Thanks for the reply

 

Romagnolo, although the thread in your signature is in italian, you've used some nice screenshots. Seems to be a number of members there interested in prevx. Just noticed 'eraser' from prevx is on that forum helping out.

 

Just wanna give props to PrevX Edge

My mother got hit with a virus last night that disabled Norton, overwhelmed Norton Antibot and infected her PC with multiple trojans and rootkits. The only program I could run was Dr Web Cureit from my personal website. All other websites were blocked. Popups, fake antivirus software...wasn't able to run many applications including Malware Bytes and Superantispyware because they were being blocked.

Besides Spyware Doctor, and Drweb Cureit the only other application I was able to run was PrevX edge, and it went above and beyond. It detected the the culprits and removed them for me (bought a license). The rootkits were taken care of, I was able to browse to other security sites to run some additional scans and install further security programs. Top it off PrevX scan was ultra fast.

Lets just say it was money well spent and you guys just got a few new customers
