Ah Google-san! We would sit at your feet, but...
I'm pretty sure I read about C-Prevent in the Windows Secrets newsletter
http://windowssecrets.com
It was either started by Fred Langa, or he was heavily involved in it
from the early stages. Fred's a pretty good guy and self-professed "Tech
Writer from the Dark Ages."

The one 'problem' with this, or any other kind of prevention tool is that
attack vectors change, so CryptoPrevent from last year might not work
against the new approach used by this year's CryptoLocker. But, the
installation method used by the original c-Locker trojan was pretty big and
the c-Prevent author's explanation certainly justifies the cost to block
that path, in my opinion.
I might be getting jaded (ha!) but software reviews seem to be more
advertorial than editorial these days...so unless a software company is
ready to buy some click-through ads...
True. All reviews ought to be considered with a grain of salt. I saw
the professional "reviewers" move in and take over Amazon a decade
ago, and it's clear that some of the "review" sites are not
journalistic efforts as much as advertising sites.
There aren't a lot of "general" computing sites left, but I follow a
few security sites (like isc.sans.edu) that tend to be pretty good at
reporting the current problems and prevention, if any.
And now, of course, my Google-fu kicks on, and I find a couple good write-ups:
