Finally--Security No Longer Slows Down Your PC

Sunbelt realizes that as a PC user, you face very real threats of virus infections, spyware and malware that can steal your personal, sensitive, and financial data. Rootkits and other malicious files can also compromise the security and privacy of your computer. That's why Sunbelt is excited to introduce VIPRE Antivirus + Antispyware as your PC security product of choice for today's threats. VIPRE features a new technology in PC Security, VIPRE is the antivirus program of the future.

Unlike older antivirus program, such as Norton or McAfee, that have bolted on antispyware or antivirus modules to their existing software, VIPRE is designed to optimize overall performance by melding antivirus and antispyware together into one, single, powerful tool. This combination of technologies gives you high performance software that doesn't slow down your PC, is low on system resources, and makes it easy for you to protect your PC from the bad guys.

With its next-generation technology, VIPRE means powerful protection against today's highly complex malware threats. No more sluggish PCs, system slowness, and resource headaches of older antivirus programs!

VIPRE is in a league of its own when it comes to antivirus software; VIPRE is clearly one of the best antivirus program available today.

VIPRE is the Future of Antivirus Programs

High performance threat protection with low impact to system resources
User surveys show the biggest frustration with existing antivirus programs is bloat and high resource usage. VIPRE Antivirus runs seamlessly without significantly impairing system performance and is designed for an unobtrusive user experience, keeping notification pop-ups and warnings to a minimum.

All-new technology delivers a unique antivirus and antispyware engine
At VIPRE's core is an antivirus and antispyware engine that merges the detection of all types of malware into a single efficient and powerful system. The new technology was developed exclusively by Sunbelt, without building on older generation antivirus engines. VIPRE uses next-generation technologies making it the future of antivirus programs!

Advanced anti-rootkit technology
VIPRE's all-new anti-rootkit technology finds and disables malicious hidden processes, threats, modules, services, files, Alternate Data Streams (ADS), or registry keys on a user's system.

VIPRE is Checkmark Anti-Virus Desktop certified by West Coast Labs and will receive additional certifications through other certifying bodies in the coming months.

Removing rootkits is supplemented by VIPRE's FirstScan which runs at the system's boot time. FirstScan bypasses the Windows operating system, to directly scan certain locations of the hard drive for malware, removing infections where found.

Real-time monitoring with Active Protection
VIPRE's Active Protection delivers real time monitoring and protection against known and unknown malware threats. Active Protection works inside the Windows kernel (the core of the operating system), watching for malware and stopping it before it has a chance to execute on a user's system.

Active Protection incorporates three methods to protect the user:

  • Signature matching, comparing a file for an exact match against VIPRE's definition database
  • Heuristic analysis, which looks at the internal characteristics of a file to determine the likelihood that it is malware;
  • Behavioral analysis, observing the actual actions of a program to determine if it is possibly malware.

Full protection against email-borne threats
VIPRE Antivirus includes comprehensive protection against email viruses, with direct support for Outlook, Outlook Express and Windows Mail; and support for any email program that uses POP3 and SMTP (Thunderbird, IncrediMail, Eudora, etc.).

Why VIPRE?

It's fast and light on system resources, with everything you need and nothing you don't! VIPRE is designed to be a high-performance product, without compromising on detection and cleaning of viruses, trojans, worms, and spyware.

With VIPRE you get:

  • High-performance technology that won't slow down your PC.
  • An easy-to-use interface that gets you up and running in a matter of minutes.
  • Low memory usage and more efficient scanning intelligence than other products on the market today.
  • Unlimited "home site license" for all the PCs in your home.

1.0 out of 5 stars Great customer service; software had major problems - since fixed, July 17, 2009
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
When I first installed Vipre, I was very impressed. It installed smoothly and ran with low memory. It did an excellent job with automatic updates and scans.

About a week after I installed it, Vipre prompted me that it had found a deep threat virus and needed me to reboot in order to completely clean the computer. I followed the instructions and could not get the system to reboot. I kept getitng the "blue screen of death."

I went through several diaganostics, bios checks, etc. Bottom line was that I could access the hard drive and it's files (and was able to rescue them), but I could not get it to boot to Windows. Even when I reordered the BIOS to boot from the CD ROM (to use the Windows XP Install disk), it gave me a "Windows cannot locate a hard drive."

I called Vipre (Sunbelt) and spoke with a very nice technician who told me that this is a "known problem" and that Vipre sometimes attacks a system file that is valid but acting in an abnormal way. He sent me some file links that would/should help in getting the hard drive and CPU to communicate.

I then spoke with the Geek Squad (since I couldn't even get on email at that point) and had several diagnostics run. Bottom line - I had to replace the hard drive.

I have since spoke with Sunbelt and the same technician who originally helped me. He was very nice, but explained that they do not reimburse for damage caused by their software. This did not make me happy as I have now spent $300 to replace the hard drive, not to mention the time wasted on a large consulting project I was working on as it took about a week to get it all worked out.

8/3/09 - EDITED REVIEW: I have spoken with the CEO of Sunbelt and they have fully reimbursed the cost of the repairs and have commented, both here and to me directly, that the problem that I encountered has been fixed in the current release of the software.

I am SUPER impressed with this company and, with their excellent customer service, have revised my review. It really is an excellent product and this company truly stands behind their products.

5.0 out of 5 stars Vipre is Now My Protection Software of Choice, July 13, 2009
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
I ran Norton and nothing was found. I ran Microsoft's One Care Live, ditto. I installed Vipre (which went smooth as a breeze) and low and behold a P2P called KaZa was found. All in all I'd have to say I'm very pleased, especially since Vipre is not a memory hog, runs in the background like a dream & I've seen no slowdown at all. Bravo Sunbelt, you've done a super job.

I have a lot of computers in my house, three Macs and two PCs. Vipre is now my antivirus, antispyware software of choice for my PCs. Five stars from me.

5.0 out of 5 stars VIPRE AntiVirus = The answer to your computer's security needs!, September 4, 2009
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
Made in the USA, Vipre AntiVirus takes protecting your computer to a whole new level! With VIPRE requiring minimal system resources (unlike: Trend Micro, Norton, Webroot, McAfee, and Kaspersky) which allows your valuable system resources to run your computer's programs faster!

With unlimited home licensing, choosing VIPRE was a no brainer for me since I have over 5 computers in my house which need virus protection.

In addition to unlimited home licensing, VIPRE carried their product one more step in allowing you to install their product on a netbook without the need of buying an external DVD reader (most net books do not have an internal CD/DVD drive, such as my MSI Wind).

Installing VIPRE on a NETBOOK:

All you have to do is put your VIPRE installation disc into your computer's drive and copy the disc's content onto an empty thumb/flash drive. Once the files are successfully copied insert the flash drive into your net books usb drive and follow the onscreen installation instructions! It's that easy!

Secure File Eraser:

The secure file eraser allows you to delete sensitive documents and files, without having to worry about someone scanning your computers deleted files and recovering your once thought deleted files! Yikes!

I'm going to be selling a computer on EBAY in a few days and I'm anxious to try this new feature out! (P.S. Before selling any computer, it's always a good idea to reformat then run a secure file eraser like VIPRE.)

RECAP: If you're looking for new ANTI virus software, give VIPRE a look, it won't dissapoint....
