Scanning only when reading/writing/installing/opening files

Title says it. Are there already options for this, or is it possible that you'll provide that in the future?

 

In realtime, Prevx scans files/modules as they try and load or execute. We don't feel that scanning on write is the most logical time to scan being that it wastes resources and will still require a duplicate rescan when the file attempts to load (as new signatures may have been created).

That being said, Prevx does monitor file changes/reads in order to build a behavioral profile so while we don't necessarily scan files every time they're written, we can potentially add this function in the future (and Prevx 4.0 will have something more along those lines, although it is still some ways away )

 

That was a good explanation. To be honest though, this question and feature request was more of a performance-related request. Giving the users options for this would make Prevx more customizable performance wise as well IMHO.

 

Definitely, and Prevx 4.0 should have this level of customization (albeit implemented in a different way but I'll stop being cruel with mini-leaks until we're further along with developing it )

 

its okay to have scan on-write but please don't make it ON by default but only an option.

PLEASE!!!
