Vipre Premium 4.0 coming soon

Vipre was light for me, but i wuldnt consider it above and beyond in system resource usage compared to several other products i use that dont advertise it and their KEY selling point, 1 thing i will give it, it is a very lean and straight to the point AV without any bloat. so thats very good.

 

Well, you have no idea who I am or what I do for a living so let's just say, I know what I'm doing and leave it at that.

 

Well in the "for what its worth" category, I use Vipre on my machines and like it very much! Runs well even on my netbook... As for testing, well it will come in time. Just be patient.

 

still no one posting any screenshots, anyone have any of this new v4?

 

Only Enterprise 4.0 is currently in beta. Premium 4.0 beta has never started.

 

o i see, thats unfortunate...

 

I still hope that Vipre will get it's act together. We need a good LIGHT anti-virus that works well with other security products. I thought that was what Vipre is supposed to be, but maybe not. I tested it a few months back & the install & initial update takes too long, the system tray icon looks like my mum made it & the GUI hides all the important options away at the top.

There's still some requirement for a regular AV these days, but it needs to be light on resources & work well with other security. Vipre ticks the 2nd box, but not the first. I'd really like Vipre to be good, really I would.

My mum can knit a new icon if required.

 

LoL

 

i have to agree.

 

How about a yellow porshe logo IC?

 

They could put a digital image of a postage stamp and it would look better then the current Icon.

 

haha too true.

 

I have no issues with Vipre on resources, updates and with other products. I have tested Vipre with IObit, ThreatFire, and currently with Prevx and have had no issues.

Vipre is fast, light and plays well with others. it has also saved my butt several times.

As to the tray icon, well, I'm not going to get into that again.

 

Vipre rox but that icon is so unpro looking they've got to fix that, it's so bad that people will seriously notice that and perhaps misjudge the product.. Seriously you want a good running software like Vipre to look good too.

I'm a big ESET fan but Eset and Win7 don't play, their web protection took down all my Win7 x64 comps at home and made the web experience grind to a halt so I'm test driving Vipre atm.
Installed the Beta on a VM machine, some ol' icon but Firewall module looks good, they've got to give us some viewing options there like not to see internal connections, TCP and/or UDP only etc.

Vipre 4 felt lightweight as well, looking forward to it.

I agree the Icon in the Taskbar does not impress me at all! The desktop Icon Rocks that's what they should have in the Taskbar!

anyone got screenshots of v4?

 

well if they are allowed then someone plz post.

 

Vipres Beta is open to the public. There is no reason it cant be screenshotted. I just joined about 5 minutes ago and have it installed. The tray icons are the same.

It uses about 31K of memory while doing its initial update.

 

I don't know if they are going to change the tray icon but I think they are still working on some GUI changes.

If you want to use the Counterspy beta its very stable.

 

Good sides are that is has good GUI, affordable price, good HIPS and good removal cababilities, fast scanning.

Bad sides: update is very slow, notification pop-up window is not easy to read, average detection compared to Malwarebytes or SAS at least in my expirience.

They claim that software is light, however, if you right click big EXE file it will freeze or slow down a lot system for few seconds. I had to disable something in settings to make it not do this.

Im sorry but I can not agree that its light on system resources, somehow it slow down system on a different way... My system is running better with Norton, A-Squared, Prevx or G-Data.

 

sounds like ur running a diff program that doesnt like Vipre in that case, after i read that GDATA is running lighter than Vipre...

 

G-Data2010 AV works perfect for me unless MVPS hosts are installed.

 

im sure it does and i never said it didnt... but ur saying Vipre ran heavier than it, which it doesnt be any stretch of the imagination, thats why i said something on ur system doest seem to like Vipre...

 

There is a possibility that this specific EXE file gets test-driven in MX-V. That means if it installs something it will test this file and tries to install all that in MX-V. Depending on the file (SFX Installer, or a heavily packed/encrypted file) it may take some time before it's finished.
