Software: PrevX 3.0
Rating: 4 out 5
I know their graphics are a little shottie, but its a good company I swear.
In my opinion, you get what you pay for. PrevX holds up to that standard. I watched prevX remove some pretty bad malware the other night, that malwarebytes failed to clean. I had to turn the system’s antivirus off before it would actually clean it successfully.
Also, it won’t bug the heck out of your with block or allow dialog boxes. It doesn’t rely on typical signatures to find malware, but uses behaviour scanning technology. This program is only 800KB right now. Very, very small in my opinion. If you need something beside antivirus software to block malicious programs, I would suggest checking them out.
Here is a video review I found on youtube.com. This review is a little old, but it still gets the point across. Check out the PC Magazine Review (PDF).

Thank you for the discount key! Did my research, looks like Prevx's the winner.
Like you I get the occasional software freebies from the mfr's I work with, some great, some not so great.
Even though it looks like they don't currently work with resellers, I'd still promote this to my clients as a great solution
especially with rootkit elimination which few others have been able to pick up.
i dl this program because i kept seeing eraseme.exe pop up and symantec couldnt find anything. prevx found it right away. i used coupon and got one year subscription for 31.95. took care of problem instantly. havent seen that eraseme.exe ever since.
i used the coupon code..and guess what ..I worked!!
coupon worked! thnx
Coupon still works! I got a 10% discount.
i got the 10% too, and I just want to say I been trying a few different scan services and none caught what prevx did. I play world of warcraft and have been having issues with the background downloader and my curse client HELL even Internet explorer wouldnt connect to the internet, while mozilla would… I downloaded prevx, did a scan it found something… I bought it for a month and let it remove what it caught and BAM eveyrthing works fine now…
Thanks for this post tho, Im really glad i tried this!!
now that's a good review!
I had a virus that my daughter downloaded from MSN, it replaced my home page with gllod.com and kepy coming up with compulsary quiz's, although I had the full version of AVG, on running a scan it detected nothing, I also downloaded Microsoft security essentials, that didnt work either, so after 9 hours of trying I paid for a year using the discount code you gave and within 10 seconds my computer was cleared……so a big Thankyou to you.
awesome, glad to hear it!
I've been working with this company ever since they announced that they would partner with financial institutions to offer the Safe Online portion of the software free to bank customers with the hope that the customers buy the full blown package. I've installed it myself on computers within the Bank and my personal computers. It's done a fantastic job of resolving things that have gotten past symantec on the computers within the organization. As for home computers, there is no comparison. In all cases it has found and resolved the problem better than any other program I've worked with. The company has been fantastic to work with. They are prompt with their responses and willing to bend over backwards to make this partnership work. Compared to the Trusteer software and pricing model, this is better, offers the customer more and offers the financial instution more. I can't spread the word about Prevx fast enough.
kadler, I would love to work there for one day just to see how they do what they do. Those guys are doing it right and I hope they stay around for a very long time.
