Re: [Free] Prevx CSI - FREE Malware Scanner 1.0

This thing creates a HUGE log and is pretty much just a long list with no real consideration to what sections of the system you're looking at.

It also missed a ton of stuff on a heavily infected machine of mine.

Needs some more work for sure.


Prevx CSI



Hi TeMerc

The Prevx scan will only detect active malware on a box as it doesn't scan every file on the system it was built to be fast and quickly detect any malware that is currently running.

If you have running malware on the system that was not picked up, I would be interested in hearing about it as we are always trying to improve our product.

Please email me any PX5 numbers from your log of files that are malware and we can investigate.

Regards
Andy

Andy, that was about 10 days ago and the sandbox has been deleted and reinfected several times since.

There were indeed several actively running malwares tho, for sure. I'll try and dig up my logs, they are all dated and named so it may not be too hard to find them.
