Hi all

Anyone tried it yet? or had any problems?

I haven't downloaded it yet.

The terms and conditions looked pretty dodgy to me so gave that a skip. Have done fine without it.

I installed it as I thought it would only protect banking etc but appears to get involved with all other sites so it was un-installed chop chop!!

When I disconnected my 3G, it kept nagging about how it cannot connect to such and such so I got annoyed and promptly uninstalled.

Lol!

I installed it, and found that it interfered with the display on my PC - whle reading PDF files in Adobe Reader, for example, large parts of the display would become black if I scrolled down, and in other applications little black squares would appear randomly.

I uninstalled it, and all seems fine now.

I've always been under the impression that PrevX was a virus?

I've had get rid of from a number of PCs in the past.

One of our users loaded it here at work and it chowed almost 100% cpu utilization most of the time. I removed it. Stoopid "windows" freeware.

Shame I had a client that installed that app. But she also banked with Nedbank and proceeded to install their Trusteer Rapport.

Well together with PrivX, Rapport, and her own personal anti-virus you should have seen how that screwed up her system.

It was such a mess it was quicker to just reformat & reload. Charged her almost a grand for my efforts.
