Prevx 3.0.5.28

Rated 20/50 by RMax304823 at Dec 8, 2010

I'd picked up one bad infection and Prevx identified and eliminated it without trouble. Scans don't take long. A brief pop-up at log on tells you whether there is a problem. Nicely designed. Customer service almost nonexistent. After a destructive recovery, I've tried to reactivate Prevx. I'd just paid for two years' service. It was impossible. No phone number for customer support was available. Email queries, if answered at all, made suggestions that didn't work. Finally I gave up. It seems to work fine -- when you can get it to work.

This antivirus detect virus that others antivirus don't. I've tried Norton and McAfee and fail to clean a very dangerous virus. My comp run now like new and very fast. none at this time. This the best, easy to use, antivirus/anti-spyware I've ever tried.

An excellent scanner.Works best with a antivirus program such as Microsoft Security Essentials.Authenticating feature.Easy navigation.Has self protection feature. Cons?! There are none. The purchasing problem can be circumvented by using this as a scanner rather than as a malware removal program. Don't forget, this program allows you to track down the malware, pinpointing it's exact location, which you can then remove manually or with another program.It's features are superb, it's scanner is top notch, and you feel very secure with it turned on.

The interface "looks" appealing and professional. When you want to remove it, it turns into a squatter; it clamps down and will not leave your hard drive (although you may be able to remove it from your active list of installed programs in the Control Panel). If this is the kind of trouble that one has to go through to use a "try it free" product, then take a pass on this one. And I honestly don't know why CNet didn't do a better job vetting this product. Hopefully I can find a way to get it off of my hard drive without doing a hard format.....

Very fast scan. Extremely light on resources. Lots of false positives. This was fixed by setting heuristics to low (default is medium). I've had this for over a year-I have been infection-free.I have no idea what the negative comments are about. My only concern is that Webroot acquired Prevx. I hope in version 4 they don't make this the bloatware Spy Sweeper became.

I've used it over and over again at the office and with friends. Thumbs up, gets the job done and saves hours. None for me. May have to install in safe mode, depending if Malaware hijacks browsers. Initial scan on line seems lengthy but necessary. Reboot in regular mode and After that it gets the job done. Our family each have a license.
