Should I uninstall prevxcsifree.exe and install Hitman Pro 3.5?

I am running Avira (the suite AV and firewall) version 10 and prevxcsifree.exe without conflicts, I try SecureAnywhere AntiVirus 2012:

•Won't conflict with other security programs, providing an added layer of protection


But I get on Windows XP SP3 Security center the message 'Windows found more than one antivirus on this computer. What is wrong?

 

Nothing is wrong and yes you can continue to use Prevx Free or WSA with other AV's and or suites without issues! It just will show up in Windows Security Center as 2 AV's! This is a picture from my XP VM which I have WSA and VIPRE AV! And also you can have HMP also as it's an On-Demand scanner!

TH

 

Thank you cariño, but this is an issue for me 2 AV's:

.....and at least one reports that is currently up to date and virus scanning on...

Is not equal:

Avira Premium Suite reports that it is up to date and virus scanning is on... blah... blah... blah…

You know, with security always is a problem here or there. They are AV's that sometimes does not update (A good example of AV that has problem updating could be Outpost Antivirus PRO)

I know WSA does not update in the same way as KAS or ESET...

How I will now that the AV is updating and on?

Remember there is not a perfect AV, a malware can disable my primary AV and I will not notice...

Do you want other example? OK

The latest version of MBAM V. 1.60.0.1800 is not working like previous version, lots of complains, also there is a problem with prevxcsifree.exe and MBAM latest version more info here:

In a few words: if I install WSA Windows Security Center should not report 2 AV's,
WSC do not report 2 AV's when I install Avira and prevxcsifree.exe

Last question: I notice you have Windows firewall on, if I install SecureAnywhere Complete 2012 or SecureAnywhere Essentials 2012 what about with suites (KIS Avira Internet Security 2012)? Will I have 2 firewalls and 2 AV's?

 

WSA is always up to date as all the signatures are in the Cloud and just a tiny bit on the system for when your offline and you should always see WSA or Prevx in the System tray by the clock! And Prevx Free will not show in the Security Center as it can't remove most infections but if it was Licensed it would! And you don't need Windows Firewall on if you have KIS or AIS but if you have WSA alone you should have Windows Firewall on! Also a Licensed WSA will show in the Security Center and if you have KIS or AIS it will show 2! Just make sure WSA has full rights through the other suite as it needs to communicate to the net always! Here is a Picture from Win 7 x64 Action Center!

HTH,

TH

 

The false positive should be fixed now

 

The Security Center will actually not help in this case. An antivirus program has to tell the security center that it's disabled for it to mark it as such, and if malware was to disable an AV, it wouldn't give it a chance to tell the security center.

 

Thank you, but I am running Win XP SP3, I have Windows 7 but with other security modules, I will download once again WSA, if I have any question I will be back to ask

Sounds good but you shouldn't have any problems but we will be here!

In my case Prevx reported infected, What I should do?

Joe said the FP's were fixed! https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showpost.php?p=1995188&postcount=5 and I don't have any detection of them with WSA!

TH

 

looks like a prevx FP - i'd report it and leave MBAM installed

 

... with WSA, but I have installed prevxcsifree.exe
and still has not fixed the FP

Does WSA and prevxcsifree.exe do not have or share the same database or Detection overrides?

 

Do you have the same issue?

 

Just right click on each file in the scan results window of Prevx Free "Report as False Positive" until Joe comes by!

TH

 

OK,

 

Can you save a scan log and post the [PX5] lines that have a in front? And it gets confusing as I'm trying to help you here and at the MBAM site!

TH

 

The MBAM site is down they have a big, big problem...
In my computer under Windows XP SP3 MBAM latest version is running PERFECT TODAY, I do not if tomorrow will plays nice with my OS and application installed. I hope I do not have any problem.
I found out that I need to fix some Administrative Vulnerabilities.
I ran Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer 2.2 (for IT Professionals)
