Get free VIPRE Antivirus Premium on Twitter

Wrong ! It was a new offer from Newegg . And it is now expired . I expect to see it again in the next month or so

 

Thanx Nick for your response. Good to know!

I was referring to the Twitter offer of Vipre Premium!

 

I thought he was asking about the one I posted . My apology

 

I have just installed this,from the twitter offer,and find it conflicts with other real time av or malware progs.This is disappointing as I don't trust one company to be in complete charge of my security.
The guys at VIPRE have told me they have no intention of making it compliant with any other real time security programme and "assured" me VIPRE was all I'd ever need!
This has me a little worried,even though VIPRE seems to be working well at the moment!

 

You should not be running any other Real Time Anti-Viruses alongside VIPRE. Running two Anti-Viruses of any sort will create conflicts with each other. If you want to run another Real Time Anti-Malware application such as Malwarebytes Pro, that is fine as it is not an Anti-Virus.

 

No I do not run 2 avs.
I wanted to run an independent anti malware programme(I was leaning toward A Squared.)

 

.
Can you say specifically which program(s) were in conflict with Vipre on your system?

 

There was a conflict with Prevx(facebook version) and after checking with vipre I was told not to run any real time av or am progs.Therefore I haven't tried to install A Squared or Malwarebytes.I would like to have a second protection though.
On my work system I have stuck with a squared and the free avira along with prevx and there are no conflicts so it appears to be a Vipre issue.

 

.
That's interesting since Prevx gets along with most everything. I'm not running Vipre at the moment, but perhaps there's an option to exclude Prevx in case that's the cause? Sometimes anti-malware programs have to be configured to not monitor each other to avoid conflicts.

 

Please see the following post from PrevxHelp. Hopefully this will solve your issues between Vipre and Prevx.

I needed a AV for my Windows 2008 R2

 

Thanks for the info.
The amended settings have allowed Prevx to work with vipre.
Thanks to all those who took time reading and assisting me with this issue.
