Review of Vipre AntiVirus + AntiSpyware
I came across this outstanding product while checking out new gadgets at an electronics store back home in Scotland. Needless to say, I have been using it since. VIPRE (Virus Intrusion Protection Remediation Engine) is simply a high octane performance software that does not clutter my system with outdated product and nor does it slow down operations like the brand name competition. It simply delivers.
VIPRE combines anti-virus, anti-spyware, anti-rootkit, anti malware, key logger and more into a viable, working product. It requires only a minimum of 512 MB. It supports various email applications including; Outlook, Outlook Express, Vista Windows Mail, and SMTP. POP3 including Thunderbird, IncrediMail, Eudora, etc. are also supported. SSL will only operate in Outlook and Outlook Express.
Some of the main reasons for me switching to Vipre are;
1) Reduced product update & download times
2) Control over annoying pop up notifications
3) Low impact on my primary operating systems
4) Free 24 Hour US based technical phone support (BOT-FREE)
5) Easy to read Windows core level monitoring and protection
6) A great working tool in PC Explorer for advanced settings
Unfortunately Macintosh & Linux users will not find this product acceptable. It simply does not work with these operating systems. Nor can it be tailored for early editions of Windows 95, 98, or ME.
This Vipre version features the Home Site License which offers unlimited protection for all computers under one roof for one, low annual fee. This subscription includes threat definition updates, software upgrades, and free US based, phone support. The telephone support is simply outstanding.
Firewall software is not included in the current package. A product called Sunbelt Personal Firewall is a separate purchase. An outstanding working tool, it can be easily downloaded via the Sunbelt Software website.
In the six months that I have been a Vipre subscriber, protection has been outstanding and my computers have operated faster. Obviously missing from this package and keeping me from rating this version five stars is the lack of firewall protection. Perhaps later versions will include it.
Even so Vipre Antivirus/Antispy software is easily the hands down winner over the competition. This vital protection package is a worthy product for these times.
