fredvries Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Prevx1 is created on the principle of creating unique checksums for every bit of code (executable, DLL, scripts, etc) running on your PC, and then cross-referencing this against a central database of user checksums. If the code is legit there is no problem, while if it is unknown the code is stopped. Yes, it gives you an extra layer of security. But do you really need it? The other problem is that you have to pay for the program. Having a set of free programs consisting of a firewall, anti-virus, anti-spyware and anti-spam should give you enough peace of mind.

Haze Posted September 16, 2006 Author Share Posted September 16, 2006 Fair enough Thanks, I ran it, seeing as it says it can remove pushow15.dll, and it didnt even pick it up.. Even though its on my system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredvries Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 If that file is still on your pc and you are unable to remove it you could try renaming it (and thus making it unusable for malware). Goto C:\Windows\System32\pushow15.dll and rightclick on the file. Choose Rename and rename the file to pushow15.old.dll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haze Posted September 16, 2006 Author Share Posted September 16, 2006 Thanks. Though the weird thing is that its not in my system32 folder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
