Thanks for the news.

Hope Webroot will continue the good momentum of Prevx products and continue selling Prevx (as a standalone product and no integrate it in other heavy suite...)

Webroot AntiVirus with Spy Sweeper 2011 and Prevx 3.0 performed admirably in PCMag's tests; both earned 4.5 stars. Webroot plans to fully integrate Prevx's lightweight behavior-based antivirus technology.
The long-awaited Prevx 4.0 will still be released, though it won't appear for some months. Behind the scenes engineers are "working feverishly" to merge the two technologies.

Aw shit, man - Webroot has been neglecting 'Spy Sweeper' and 'Window Washer,' as well. Hope they develop 'Prevx' . . . . . . . actively. :(
