I recently installed Prevx1 after it was recommended to me by a friend and after scanning my XP Home Edition PC it told me I had an infection. It didn't offer any cream or lotions to clear up the infection, nor did it allow me to clear the infection from my PC.

As a newbie to the Castle Cops family, I have read about Free Licenses for Prevx1 being won, granted or gifted by/to CC members but have no idea about how I can claim one for myself... Can anyone please help me to get hold of one of these free licenses?

Many, many thanks in advance!

what infection did it detect and where (what location)?

it should have let you remove it first month of use for free

Thanks for the reply, Cudni.

I realise that the allocation of free licenses by CastleCops has ended but wondered if anybody knew of any other sites that may allocate free licenses at the moment??

I'm not sure why, I installed Prevx1 from the Prevx website and ran a scan and it told me I had ONE infection and that I needed to purchase a license to be able to remove the infection. I too, was under the assumption that I would be able to run AT LEAST THE FIRST SCAN and be able to remove any threats or infections straight away. This did not appear to be the case...

It appears that I now have TWO infections that are described, with their locations, as follows:

AWVTS.DLL file located at C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32AWVTS.DLL

PMNKJHE.DLL file located at C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\PMNKJHE.DLL

I moved these items from the holding cell to 'on probation' before realising that I should have left them as was, as I do not know to what these items are or relate to?? After making this move, I find I cannot move them back to the holding cell or delete them and am at a quandry as to what to do now?...

use the software listed in the other link to check and remove any more malware that might be lurking.
