I have a full version full licence for Prevx2 with the latest version 1.0.2 Build 123 installed.
So I am happy with my system (along with Comodo Pro Firewall in Advanced Defense+ mode, ComodoBOClean and AVG Free AV).

However, I periodically scan with the PrevxCSI Free just out of interest, and before (today) using this new super-duper version that wants you DESPERATELY to buy it (!!) it found....wait for it..

ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY NINE BAD FILES!!!!
'All' of them allegedly 'rootkits', the list included every Prevx2 process ( ) and every other file was completely safe!!


I then proceeded to do a FULL SYTEM file scan with my installed LICENSED Prevx, with no exclusions, and for it to scan in archives.

What did it find? NOTHING

I then proceeded to do a FULL SYTEM file scan (no exclusions, scan in archives and zips) with Comodo Professional FW Malware scanner.

What did that find? NOTHING


AVG Full system scan - no exclusions, all archives and zips - found: NOTHING

Comodo BOClean is up to date onguard in real time - what has it alerted me to? NOTHING

Spybot S&D Full Scan - NOTHING

AdAware 2007 - NOTHING


Frankly, this is very worrying.

I will certainly not be recommending Prevx CSI to anyone anymore until I am once again truly confident that it is NOT simply a 'ruse' to get people to part with money on a clean system.

Sounds like the known issue with Comodo mentioned here:

Hello,

have you contacted Prevx Support thru ticket?

Just because instead of claiming big things, it could be that there's a bug or incompatibility with some other security software.

This issue was resolved recently. Please make sure you are using the latest build of CSI which is 1.5.103.197. If the problem persists with this build I strongly suggest you open a support call with Prevx.

damn Castle Cops site is like a slug in mud and posts the same thing 3 times

I'm running Prevx 2.0 build 127

Can't remember any issues between Prevx 2.0 and Prevx CSI in previous builds.

A new update to CSI has been released today

Changelog:

* Compatibility with Comodo Security Products
* Greatly improved detection on BHOs and other DLL-based malware
* Simplified Scan Process
* Rootkit Scanner false positive elimination
* New Scanner GUI which displays information on what is being scanned
* More detailed logging of the cleanup process[/list]

No change there. It still finds a mountain of (mostly the same) FPs.

Strange.... i just installed Prevx 2 build 123 on a system (XP SP2) and scanned with Prevx CSI.

Nothing found.

SteveEast9 - please try uninstalling Prevx CSI and then reinstalling the newest version (v214) from http://info.prevx.com/downloadcsi.asp

Virtually all of the users which were experiencing this issue have reported to us that it was fixed, so, we aren't sure why this would still be happening to you. A reinstall may be the key to fixing it.

Thanks.

It *is* fixed now but it was nothing to do with it being installed. I only used the newest (build 214) direct from the saved .exe file.
It was the application data file that had been created by the *old* problem version. It interfered with the operation of the new build.
This is obviously a glitch that occurs if all a user wants to do is scan with PrevxCSI but not actually install it

[size=18]Tested Prevx Csi home download.

Just want you all to know that when you install
this you even install a trojan that is very hard to remove...
It acts as a Rootkit because with several intelligent rootkit scanners that finds it cant remove it. if you have nod32 installed before you will try this its yell
windows32/Genetic trojan. if you pause nod32 and install this S**t nod32 wouldnt find it anymore because now its a rootkit!
Tried to install (only) Prevx cia on another clean system because i scanned where and how did i got this in my cube.
Conclusion:
if you try it you have to buy it to remove the trojan

I Will never ever try anything from them again.
Dont want to spend to much time on this more.
But for you who care ask them what these files
are that installs and cannot be seened in \windows\system32\drivers\ but they are there coz they exist in memory: mchInjdrv.sys I know what it is it is a dll injector... and spjj.sys ????
want to try this yourself:
Download RKU and check drivers tab before and after install.

This Sucks.... All for money so how do i get rid of the rootkit from my computer now?
I Dont wanna have the rootkit that hides this dll injector... [/size]
