What's PX5: ?

Hi @  Take a look HERE to find out about PX5
 
Hope this helps.

I was wondering if PX5 is anyway related to Prevx.   Or, simply hash function I was not aware of?

Thanks
 

Webroot Continues to use some data info from the Prevx days (PX5) so as you can see WSA relies on more than just MD5 Hashes! There is allot more going on behind the scenes then Webroot is willing to tell us and the Malware writers! Webroot has the most advance full cloud realtime threat intelligence engine and Database and collection and was the first to have such a thing!

More info when Webroot Acquired Prevx back in November 1st 2010: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2392059,00.asp and here: https://www.webroot.com/us/en/about/press-room/releases/technology-acquisition-cloud-security
 
 
"Immense Cloud Database
One reason the local application can be so tiny is that it doesn't include any malware signatures, Morris explained. The Prevx technology relies entirely on an immense database of applications and behaviors in the cloud. This database collects and correlates an almost-unimaginable amount of information about every process ever run on any system with SecureAnywhere (or Prevx) installed. Along with the expected notes about process behavior it correlates things like the geographic location, browser version, and other elements of the sample's "habitat."
According to Morris, this database, code named ENZO, can include as many as two million database rows for a single process.
"Cybersecurity is all about information," said Morris. "We store and correlate all the factors about the process's behavior in all the places it was seen. We aim to have more information than anyone, so we can offer better protection than anyone."

And continues to be used today?

The PX5 hash is still genereated, but no longer used.
 
Also, I corrected the detection of the KeePass installer.

Thanks for the updated info Dan!
