FYI, the updated review of the Premium version is now available here:

another disappointment to yet again not see Vipre in AV-C...

 

No its nowhere near full, i dont experience this with any other Av. I havent contacted their support, wasnt impressed the last time i delt with them although the higher ya get (Alex n the sorts) the better the info/contact.

C i really didnt wanna bother with informin them of this as to me a simple fix is to deinstall. Just thought id mention it here incase someone has the same problem.

Another thing i didnt like is the fps, not in large quantity but apparantly everythingh is a trojan to them lol n i did send fp's on several occasions trough the gui without a single fix in the end.

I think ill stick with sumtin more hasslefree for me.

 

right on man, whatever works for you in your situation

 

I love it.

Its really light and professional. Also that blocking of malware web sites works well.

 

Vipre seems to be picking their spots as far as reviewers go.

 

They failed VB100. I wonder how much people buy into that.

 

Something is funny here as we all know that they failed the April test but it is not listed anymore http://www.virusbtn.com/vb100/archive/2010/04

And I go to Sunbelt history at VB they only say 1 pass 0 fail 67 no entry in December!

EDIT: Sorry I must be blind tonight it's there

 

Same thing for MSE. It failed the April 2010 test, but has passed others. For some reason the April test is in the archives.

 

I see MSE there also just under McAfee! December is Windows 7 and April is Windows XP!

VIPRE was doing quite well in the April RAP test: http://sunbeltblog.blogspot.com/2010/04/vbs-rap-on-vipre.html

 

I bought a license on Black Friday and as soon as A-Squared expires on one of my boxes I will give it a try... but my main PC will still use A-Squared
