    you did not mention if in fact you have had Prevx on your machine previously. if you had, clean image or not, somehow they know.

    i don't know for sure. i slicked my harddrive and reinstalled Prevx, license was still expired. btw i had some bug where a reformat was the simplest fix for (not to put Prevx together). whatever it is they just know.

    Hi,folks: Would a "Hide IP" app be able to disguise a true IP in this case?

    Thanks innerpeace. I am going to wait till it goes final and do the clean image and install thing to see what happens. I will probably buy it anyways. I am pretty impressed with it.

    I did have it on before but it had not activated. Thats what gave me the big surprise. As soon as the new version installed I got the pop up saying it had found malware and had activated my 30 day thing.

    Yes, definitely contact Prevx support. If it's a mistake, they will reset your trial licence.

    Hey! I am simply amazed...

    Been suggesting to have a time stamp on the PREVX programs activity and by magic... latest version does have time stamp on programs activity. :eek:

    That is what I call.. "lissening to customers" :D

    Great job,

    Hi, folks; Build 119? I have not been able to d/l it from its server yet. Although it is already available at majorgeeks yesterday. I stuck at b.114. Just few more hours to D-day. I 'll wait.

    Yes.

    Prevx 2.0 v1.0.1 build 1 is the latest for new installation downloads and should also be available as an update to all existing Prevx 2.0 users.
