Re: Prevx 3.0 with SafeOnline build 3.0.5.126

Working well and the Opera issues with this Auto-Update is working fine with this build!

Where is .127 as I can't get it ATM?

TH

EDIT: It Auto-Updated now to .127!

 

I disabled KIS2010 and I tried to update using "check for updates" but just keep getting the message: "prevx update failed, please try again later"

 

I got it after 40 mins or so! But go ahead a download the new version and install over top! If that doesn't work Uninstall reboot and install the new version with all your other security disabled make sure you have a copy of your key!

This problem only occurs if I change the installation path, but then go to either the Install page or EULA page before clicking the Next button to install. If you click the Next button while on the Options page, Prevx will be installed to the specified path.

 

This problem has re-appeared. I uninstalled Prevx and re-installed with reboots a few times while testing the installation folder problem, and it's re-appeared. As before, disabling SO solves the problem.

I was re-installing using latest Prevx 3.0.5.127 x64.

 

like always works great,Thanx Prevx

 

I suspected that would be the case - I suspect the combination of addons and security is causing Firefox to lose track of what instance to use. I'm unfamiliar with it, but do you have any specific configuration enabled in Sandboxie? It is possible that some global flag is being set from the Sandboxie'd instance which causes the other Firefox to pick up on it and because Prevx is protecting the other instance, it will be able to communicate.

Just a theory at least We're investigating the install issue as well and should have it fixed in the next version!

 

Hi pling_man,

Did you end up getting the new version installed? If you did how?

TIA,

TH

 

Hi TH.

No not yet. I'm still running 3.0.5.125. I offered PrevxHelp opportunity to take a look remotely. I dont think its related to KIS or Windows Defender this time as it happens even when they are not running.

 

OK great you are being looked after to find out your particular problem!

TH

 

Links clicked within Firefox are not the problem (a link clicked in Sandboxed Firefox will always open in Sandboxed Firefox, and vice-versa with links clicked in un-sandboxed Firefox).

My setup allows me to have both a un-sandboxed instance of Firefox and a sandboxed instance of Firefox running at the same time.

With SO disabled, whichever instance was started first, will be the target for the clicked link. So, if sandboxed Firefox was started first, and unsandboxed Firefox was started second, then a click on a URL in Mozilla Thunderbird (or URL link on About dialog of an app) will open in the sandboxed Firefox. If un-sandboxed Firefox was started first, and sandboxed Firefox was started second, then a click on a URL in Mozilla Thunderbird (or URL link on About dialog of an app) will open in the un-sandboxed Firefox.

With SO enabled, it doesn't matter which instance was started first, as a click on a URL in Mozilla Thunderbird (or URL link on About dialog of an app) will ALWAYS open in the un-sandboxed Firefox, even if only the sandboxed instance is running.

The problem is that a link is clicked in an external app (eg. in an e-mail message in an client like Mozilla Thunderbird, or URL link on About dialog of an app), will ALWAYS open in an un-sandboxed version of Firefox.

I'm running the free version of Sandboxie 3.45.06 x64 beta, and am using default settings apart from:

Enabled - Show sandbox name in window title
Enabled - Display a border around the window
Enabled - Enable Immediate Recovery
Enabled - Automatically delete contents of sandbox

I'm wondering if anyone else who is running Prevx SO, Sandboxie & Firefox (with TabMixPlus) is able to reproduce this behaviour ?

 

Just wondering..... I know that Prevx is designed to work in unison with other software as a layered solution and it actually encourages users to do so. But with the myriad of AV/Malware software available and I am sure more still coming, will Prevx diminish its current effectiveness by trying to be compatible with everything? Is it even technically possible?

 

With what I read here in the forums they will not sacrifice there security solution in favor of other security APPS but they will always try to make them play nice together if possible and most times they do! The average person would not use the less known security software that we see at security forums! And with Version 4 of Prevx coming sometime late fall or early next year PrevxHelp says there are going to be big things in V4

HTH,

I sorted my problem and now have 3.0.5.127 running.

I traced the "won't update" problem to an issue with Standard User accounts. When I signed in as an administration user it Autoupdated ok. Not convenient, but at least its a solution.

 

bug in opera 10.52
running prevx with online armor and MSE


- copy something to clipboard
- open Opera and try to paste in the address bar. nothing happen when safeonline is on.


anyone can confirm?

 

I don't think Opera 10.52 is fully supported by Prevx as it's still in the beta stage! I don't have any problems with 10.51 which is the current release!

HTH,

TH

 

Can you please send a scan log to report@prevxresearch.com? We'll sort the clipboard issue from there

Thanks!
