Prevx Home 2

Proactive intruder detection

Designed to work alongside your existing antivirus software, Prevx Home is free to download and works in a similar way to Panda's Trueprevent.

Instead of trying to detect intruders already on your system by comparing data against locally stored signature files, it aims to prevent them getting in by looking for suspicious behaviour.

Prevx can be annoying at first, regularly throwing up alerts during legitimate net and file access. However, it can be trained and we got things under control in a few days.

Updates are free and the company makes its money by analysing and selling threat data sent anonymously from your PC to other organisations. If you haven't got a problem with that, it's definitely worth checking out.
