[OSDolphin]

I suspect this is a rogue.

[fearthebeachball]

i bought the full suite of prevx. seriously, it saved my computer.

[Tekkenfreek234]

Yo, dude, how much money do you make from these vids now that you're a partner?

[dnlhern2]

"Stupid-Proof"

[HaydenFSX]

i have avast 5 free

PC tool firewall

Spy Bot S&D

Prevx Free

Threatfire

DriveSentry

[serhad95]

@HaydenFSX u r paranoia lol

[HaydenFSX]

@HaydenFSX

Now i use avira

comodo firewall

defence +

[genethomas65]

Big Free AntiMalware resource

cleanbytes . net

Cleaned up my computer and already noticed a performence increase.

[Naomi4032]

This program didn't work and the company refused to give me a refund. This video was obviously put on Youtube by the company. It's a stinking commercial. DO NOT BUY THIS PROGRAM.

[TigerRaptorFX]

PrevX Edge now works with Windows 7 64. I'm testing it with Firefox, Kaspersky, and Comodo Firewall. No problems yet.

[STVYT]

I use Prevx 3.0 all features enabled along with ESET Smart Security 4 (NOD32.) Doesn't get any better than that. I'm ultra-secure. ^_^

[LoggotyroX32]

You're a Partner, Why not make an Awesome Banner? :D

[Idolpurist]

Most likely. However, I WOULDN'T!! Avira Premium Security will stop 99% of Anything that tries to get in. You simply don't need it. What's more, Prevx cost $. Drive Sentry 3.3.0.4 has all the features and Performance of Prevx and is FREE!! Drive Sentry also works alongside Avira usually with NO conflicts. It makes no sense to spend money when you don't have to. Enjoy Drive Sentry.

[ribarmilos]

LONG LIVE PREVX CSI!

[xTYROCKx]

5/5 FOR ME HAHAHAHA

[xTYROCKx]

lol I KNOW HOW TO TAKE VIRUS FROM UR PC USING PREVX REALLY EASY FIRST SCAN THEN THEY WILL SHOW WHERE THE VIRUS IS LOCATED THEN GO RUN AND SEARCH FOR THE VIRUS LOCATION AND DELETE ->EX: C:\windows\system\BABVIRUS

[MattHunX]

one problem...when I search for it, it says it can't find it and refuses to jump to the file's location..what then?

[Idolpurist]

This version of Prevx and the new Prevx 3.0 can safely be run alongside your Antivirus without conflict. Prevx is an Antimalware app in the same vein as Comodo BOClean and Threatfire. However, Prevx' tiny size and Incredible performance (PCMag April 2009 Editor's Choice), make it better than most antimalwares out there, Cutting edge, Cloud Based, and lightning fast scans make this product a winner. Sadly, BOClean 4.7 will be discontinued as of 5.26.09.

[ChildOL]

@Ldolpurist...

Sorry but Prevx3.0 allowed Virut infection on my machine (even with settings on high) and you can't install other AV software when they refuse to install or work because they detect you have Prevx installed (Kaspersky).

Prevx used to be very good at prevention much like Defense+ in COMODO but not anymore ever since they tried to be simple and automatic for newbies.

[Idolpurist]

Prevx3.0 and other Antimalware apps are NOT a replacement for a full AV product. They are meant as a supplement. While no AV or AM is 100%, Prevx is darn close. So is Drive Sentry 3.3.0.4.

ALWAYS have a top 5 AV as your 1st line of defense. Kaspersky, AVG, Avira & Norton are well known to have conflicts with other security products. Avast, ESET NOD32, & Mcafee are just the opposite. You shud never have run Prevx alone. Kaspersky and AVG OFTEN have conflicts with other programs. Meanies.

[ChildOL]

I have decided to just always put comodo internet security on a clean system and use it to protect me with it set to "paranoid".

[Idolpurist]

Ha! I just took my Comodo Firewall off Paranoid!

Me love Comodo like Lindsay Lohan loves Cocaine. My Firewall has been driving me nuts cause it keeps blocking certain Windows traffic intermittently. As much as I love them, if this keeps up, I will switch to another free firewall.

I can't bleeve I just said that, but I did. I just recently chatted with Melih, Comodo's CEO and told him how much I love the company.

I just can't seem to figure out this latest firewall. Shame.

[gamepro127onPSN]

kaspersky has never let me down.

[Idolpurist]

I respect Kaspersky's effectiveness. Not their price. They want $ for Everything. Many AV Cos offer at least a few freebies. Kas offers almost nil.

Great program tho. I have the equivalent and then some with : Avast + Drive Sentry + Spywareblaster(a killbit program). All Real-Time Protection. SAS Free I use once a month for On-Demand scans. There is no need to PAY for AV/AM software. The BEST stuff is FREE! Avira and Rising are also excellent front line AVs. Me Cheap.

[gamepro127onPSN]

Ditch Avast!. I tested it in virtual machine. It done pretty good until it let in a trojan downloader. Few minutes later my pc was destroyed with rogue software. Now I gotta re-install windows. I recommend COMODO, its the only one that blocks rogue software. Avast! Just let everything in once that trojan downloader came, it did find some stuff but it said "Unable to remove because its loaded in memory" OR something like that. And no, it wasn't talking about the rogue software.

[Idolpurist]

I recently spoke to another poster on one of Matt's videos who had Eset NOD and it let thru a Trojan Downloader. ANY AV can let thru a piece of Malware. Which quickly leads to more Malware.

I am a Comodo Freak since Day 1. Tho I prefer Drive Sentry 3.3.0.4 for HIPS + AM backup protection. Avast on the front line. I use Comodo Firewall for its Buffer Overflow feature. I turned off Defense+. U didn't say if U had an AM alongside Avast. EVERYONE Must Have an AM alongside their AV. 2B sure.

[chrisbrougham]

Sorry, Prevx IS a full AV / AM. Im a core associate of an international research group concerned with malware and security and can confirm Prevx is about as good as it gets at covering all threats.

[Idolpurist]

I stand corrected....mostly. You are right, PrevX is meant as a full functioning AV/AM. It certainly has the features and the capabilities. Still, if it were truly meant to be a main AV with AM, it wouldn't work alongside the well known AV programs. It does as far as I know. Sure, there are conflicts with Some AVs, but not most. I, for one, would not trust ANY single AV solution. Especially one that's been "perfected" only in the last 10 months. I love PrevX, but not exclusively.

[alii2k5]

I need serial of it plzzz !!

for free

[pranaygtr]

Buy the product.

[jonathanelias26]

idem..you have serial?' pleaseeeeeeeeee

[Spidula]

Ive actually installed prevx (and bought) and ditched AVG and Norton because prev was picking up stuff they were missing.

In my eyes its cheap and very good at what its supposed to do!

[Hollywood49]

The author sounds like Gibbons from TGTTM. Thanks for the review!

[ssgamer0]

great video!

[boudywyn500]

Hello I have purchased this program, I use it with Norton 360 V2.0 together and this week Prevx Edge 3.0 said to me: that inside my Alt.binz program is a WORM virus, in the link, program and uninstaller... strange because Norton said nothing.... troubles!

[kassem435]

meny programs u say is good for use is the 1 whitch no1 never has hert about LOL

[kassem435]

dude fuck off ur enoyng

[hymnsinger5]

Can you have Comodo Free and PrevX?

[yewtubepl0x]

he said in the video you can have it along side antivirus ^.^

[rockmusicmanic]

can you please test out Avira 9 with detection and removal?

I just dowloaded it and i want to know if it is better then 8.

[darkmastachief]

his job must be fun

[hymnsinger5]

I would be like "Stop downloading Porn. Use Xtube".

lol.

[Boogiemannn999]

PX n SZ downloaded a virus to your pc? I think you mean your additional security reported that, wich = 100% False Positive!

[Magnuspire]

Well... that's funny considering those programs you listed slow my computer down to a stop. Calling the kettle black are we?

[electrobussterr]

People who say that PrevX is evil can eat a dick. :)

[TheHackTubed]

can you give us the key please?

[mrizos]

lol

[TheHackTubed]

no seriously...

[electrobussterr]

even if he did, it would be blacklisted in no-time because hundreds of ppl are reading the comments ^^

[Boogiemannn999]

Seriously the free version is only lacking the cleaning part, you can use it for detection only and for instance use SAS n Dr.WebCureIt for cleaning.

[Tekkenfreek234]

@TheHackTubed No, buy it yourself.

[crazyanimechickbunny]

Um matt i tried Prevx edge before but i can't uninstall it!

[Parilblade001]

i dont have it, but cant u use add/remove programs to uninstall it

[Aqueluzar]

Sort of the same problem as Violator, though my problem is when I right click on a file I still have Scan with Prevx Edge option, which I have removed. How do I get fully rid of this junk?

[bestSVMS]

they should really remove and prevent in trial

because

rouges

warn you about infections and do nothing, making you buy

users will mistake this for a rouge

unless the prevents

almost al trials remove and prevent for like 30 days

all rouges just make you pay and dont do anything

[mrizos]

I agree. Even a 15 day trial would be fine.

[nthdegeek]

@bestSVMS:

Prevx1 does that. They prevent for free forever, then from the date of the first detection, it cleans up but a timer starts counting down from 30 days - when the timer is up it won't clean any further infections.

Their reasoning was that if you never get infected, you don't need their services.

P.S. Prevx was originally freeware as a HIPS for a long time, before they had community scanning for malware integrated. So it'll never get mistaken for a rogue ;-)

[Vl0LAT0R]

** THIS THING IS A VIRUS **

Installs itself into:

Program Files\Prevx\Prevx.exe

There no UN-installer, If you stop it running it runs itself again you cant change its Name and you cant delete this file start up everytime with your PC

BE WARNED.. Google it.

[Vl0LAT0R]

HELP... I Cant uninstall it, No matter what i do it comes back on my PC ?

it wont let me delete it, and isnt on my startup menu but it keeps waking up every time i reboot.

How do i get rid of the damn thing ???

[boyberry94]

mines 11mb download 4.2 upload (:

[ecorg911]

A pretty biased review, you shouldnt have mentioned "PrevX offered you a free 1 year license". It doens't support your case much

[GodGord]

Erm....This is a Duplicate of Threatfire BUT...Different Stuff >.>

[Boogiemannn999]

Its far from a duplicate, TF = Agressive BB --- PXE= Patented in the Cloud Tech. + Heuristics + AR

[KeysOfMyth]

Wow matt your internet connection speed is really fast!!

[Parilblade001]

i thinks his is 5mb

[1oxo1]

Nice.. Prevx is defenently better than ThreatFire when it comes to detection because ThreatFire lets some malware slip through and then tell you to restart which makes the removal much longer where as prevx is like, ''I FOUND IT'' Very nice.

[WorldsEliteDeatHaze]

coool

[MakkeSk8]

Need a key >;(

[jetcrow110]

congrats on being a partner

[WusterAllDay]

dude kaspersky AV is actually the best try it...

[turb0strid3r]

Your the best... I love your channel :D! GRatz on being a partner!!

[mrizos]

thanks!

[pickyantivirus]

gratz on partner...since u last tested kaspersk it uses like 64mb ram if u have a disk in the drive lol it just sits there at 64mb all day... it was at 46mb wiht no disk. bad.

would you recomend prevx over kis or kav

[SuperiorBeen]

That's strange because I have KIS 8 and it uses only 3Mb of ram when idle! When scans it top around 7Mb! LOL!

PS: I only use the AV, firewall and proactive defense, I've disable all other features!

[mrizos]

I need to test KAV's prevention before I could say for sure.

[AZLAN210396]

Please test KIS 2009. NOT KAV. IT will not perform the same coz KIS has a built in HIPS. Low untrusted, untrusted..

[Stukoba]

Congrats on making partner, great having just 1 vid instead of 3 or more.

[mrizos]

thanks man!

[ert00034]

[mrizos]
