Ratings on vipre antivirus




















Traditional antivirus engines have been slow to adapt to emerging threats, especially the blending of antispyware threats with antivirus threats. To bridge the best of traditional antivirus with new cutting-edge thinking, Sunbelt Software hired veteran antivirus expert Joe Wells for a one-year stint to help design a "hybrid" antivirus antispyware engine.

While other standalone antispyware vendors merely added antivirus to their existing offering, Sunbelt Software created an entirely new product, Vipre. Ordinarily new antivirus products, such as Microsoft's Windows Live OneCare, suffer through a few years of "getting the code right. While it remains to be seen how Vipre holds up against the antivirus offerings, our initial impressions are very good, and should hold up when more established antivirus vendors start releasing their products later in There is a day, fully functional, free trial available.

The Vipre installation took us a few minutes and did not require a reboot. After the files were installed, a wizard asked a few predictable questions on the following topics: Internet and proxy settings, automatic updates default is every two hours , active protection setting High, Medium, Low , joining the Sunbelt threat community to report new threats, scan schedule default is 1 a.

The Vipre interface is one of the cleanest we've seen on any antivirus product. It's intuitive and easy to use. Your system status is displayed along the left-hand window, while the right side displays current worldwide threats and the latest local scan results for your machine. Wow, Delbert.

Sort: Recent. Most helpful. Filter by: Any. Page 1 Reviews 0 - Original review: Dec. Time Used: Less than 2 years. It has been a good product. Has alerted us of attacks and prevented viruses coming through. Lot's of features and settings to tweak. Can create profiles for multiple devices. Doesn't use much resources when scanning. Can be difficult to find settings needed for certain tasks like exclusions and the like. Sometimes the definitions do not update automatically requiring user intervention.

Webroot was lacking in settings and was not great at detecting viruses. Industry: Retail. Was having and issue with network programs, but they were quick to get ahold of and helped us diagnose and resolve the issue. Easy to customize depending on which computer its installed on.

Can have separate policies for the server and each workstation if we wanted. Can maually or remotely scan devices. Now internet based and easy to use and send updates to the workstations. Easy to customer depending on the workstation and our needs. Can copy and edit to create different policies depending on our needs. Peter from New Era. Review Source. Tried to contact support but they could not find my license, which we paid money for a number of years back.

They refused to give me even a bit of support. So I not only does this antivirus not protect you, not only does it not even handle older viruses let alone any new threatas, not only does it not find your computers in your network and requires painful manual installation requiring dozens of hours.

This product is absolutely not recommended. No amount of reboots handles this situation. You literally have to generate a MSI file from the server console and walk to each station physically to install the MSI. And that install is painful again - on most computers it took us 5 five! Some computers even never got recognized, no matter how many times they were rebooted and re-installed.

That's a really poor show. And I am not alone with this - I have asked a few colleagues in other companies, and they all said this is a "normal" problem with Vipre, it always does this.

Tried to update to the latest version - no change, still does the same. The worst part is that the detection rate is absolutely awful. If you look at the history of threat detection it usually finds nothing. On several workstations I ran a full deep scan with Vipre, and it found no threats at all. Then ran a scan with Malwarebytes and it found 40 threats! All the way from really old threats like Conficker and a v5. Vipre had found nothing for weeks!

Dallin from Protiviti. Company Size: 1,, employees. Industry: Accounting. I have used this software for a few years now. I bought the lifetime version and I believe it comes with regular updates as well. It was overall cheaper then doing the year-to-year. I've had problems with other anti-virus software where issues would still happen. There have been no issues for years since I started with Vipre. Would highly recommend. The only downside is that it costs money, but protecting your assets and personal information is well-worth the cost!

Keith from The Summit Windsor. Industry: Entertainment. After being an end user at work, I was pleased with it enough to evaluate it for my home domain server needs and the small number of clients connected to it.

I found that it does meet my needs as a home user quite well. Any questions I've ever had post sale with their customer support center have been answered completely and timely.

I feel their pricing structure is on-spot for those looking for a good solution without breaking the bank. The auto-update for the clients is a nice feature too, as it saves me from having to worry that the clients are up to date. It seems that the software can be easily disabled based on the complaints of some users who have reported being infected with ransomware or other malware that snuck by. The Admin may allow certain Power Users to control their settings.

Best practices is to limit User access to settings. David from Centerline Solutions. I tested Vipre with a variety of penetration tests and it stopped most attacks immediately. I threw a littany of attacks at Vipre and it immediately recognised and stopped all but those I ran by eminating an HID device for which I had physical access to the computer.

While there are certainly ways to bypass Vipre, it has, in my experience and research, a constantly updated list of attacks and an immediate response time. The power of this software also makes it a less desirable target for attacks as one could spend much less time creating an attack for a weaker and more commonly used program. When Vipre runs a scan it takes up a ridiculous amount of processing power. That said, scheduled the full scans for the middle of the night and you should be good to go.

Sometimes malware gets through, but that is true of every product, it can still be annoying. Jeff from Gilliland Veterinary Service. Industry: Veterinary. Overall it has been excellent identifying issue with any computer on my server, ID the issue and automatically taking steps to mitigate any harm.

The software works in the background and does a complete scan daily. Any issues are sent to both my IT administrator and myself. No issues what so ever. It has worked as advertised without any problems. Aaron from IT service. Industry: Marketing and Advertising. Works well and I like the product. Would recommend to users that are not as worried about security. This works great on home based computers or home based businesses.

Blocks a lot and gives a lot of options for managing. I would not use in a big business with all the other options that are out there. This will add parental controls as well as the ability to manage Vipre on multiple PCs in the home. One notable security option missing from Vipre right now is a more robust network scanner to better address the growing smart home trend.

So look for more on this front from Vipre in the future. In June , VAS scored In the standard malware test, which uses nearly 6, samples, Vipre scored percent.

Over at A-V Comparatives, Vipre scored high. In the A-V Comparatives malware protection test that included more than 20, samples, Vipre scored For our in-house performance tests we once again had some interesting results.
