VIPRE Antivirus + Antispyware is now released

Can I ask why you had to turn off uac?

 

Some programs would not install or work smoothly, i know i had problems with FEAR and Xfire.

 

In addition to my post # 165.

First of all provide an uninstaller.

This sucker is hard to uninstall , even in safe mode !

Advice for those with the same problem: use the proggie Unlocker.

 

Is FEAR a PC game your talking about here?

 

Yeah, it is

 

The MP part is free n the graphics r amazing, go get it!

 

I'm retrying this what's with definitions being up to date but dated 9/11?, can't do even daily updates?

 

Seems to me like on my system I am seeing daily updates (exception of weekends). I have found that even though Vipre is set to check for updates auto ever 2 hours, sometimes if I don't manually check it doesn't check or get the updates. I have seen this off and on but not consistently. Maybe thats what happened with you 9-11 defs? Did you try to force a manual update to see?

 

it finally updated later, I like the combo, seems light & I think might be effective & no I don't go by total test results...

 

Check out Matt's video review at Youtube. I already posted a link in here about his review on SAS. Vipre didn't do too good cleaning up adware.

No offense. but anyone that believes a "Youtube" test should have there head evaluated.

 

Um excuse me Fajo but do some investigating. Its not just a youtube video. He has a web site and removes viruses ans malware from pc for a career. He uploaded videos on you tube to let people know how good certain products are.

I still rather look at tests that have anywhere from 1000 to 1.6 Million samples.

But thanks for the link anyways.

 

anything new with this? my eset license will be running out soon and i am giving some serious consideration to switch to vipre. but everything seems quiet on the vipre scene.

 

It has been very quiet. Anything new to report from Vipre users?

 

They all jumped on the symantec bandwagon

 

You don't seem to be really aware of Matt's testing, he uses thousand(s) of samples and has been personally contacted by Sunbelt and F-Secure.

 

I have to admit that I'm one of those who jumped on that bandwagon. I've been tempted to jump off though.

 

I jumped off two days ago. LU does not work on a consistent basis, and there are others with the same issue. The pulse updates do not update on my machine sometimes for 14 hours. Yes you can of course manually update, but why should you?

My view is that LU has been problematic since its inception, and NIS 2009 still is in that same camp- at least on my machine.

 

As far as I can tell, I haven't had any problems with LU or pulse updates. It the full system idle time scan that won't run for what ever reason, that is bugging me. I know I can set up a full system can the conventional way, but why should I have to, if it is supposed to do it automatically on a weekly basis, when the computer is idle.

When I initially installed NIS 2009, it went over two weeks without a full system idle time scan running. I uninstall/reinstalled, and now it's been over a week and counting, and still no full system idle time scan.

I'm a true believer in things should work the way they are supposed to. If they don't, go with something else.

Vipre is looking better and better.



EDIT..............The idle time full scan ran today. Maybe I'll stay on that bandwagon a little longer.

 

please let me know the key for key for vipre 3.1.2243 version,,,

 

You can install a trial without a key. Key can be purchased online from sunbeltsoftware.com or from any authorized reseller.

 

I like it; and though it still has some quirks I think, and do, recommend it for those interested. IFO have found it light on resources and more effective than other AV-AS combo products that I have looked at in the past. The product is new so give them (Sunbelt) some more time to work out those quirks I alluded to and I think you will like the results...

JMHO

I have toyed with it before with good results & since my Nod license is up soon am tempted to buy an improving product, I'm curious what firewall do you use...

 

I think you guys are missing the point behind an "IDLE" scan. Your system has to go idle. If you have crap running on your machine that causes not to go IDLE EVER, then dont expect the Full System Scan to run. Or more correctly, it might run and not complete before the system came back out of IDLE. On may machine it took a week for Full System Idle scan to run.
