vipre..wow

my avatar is cool.

 

now you are talking bussiness

 

It is cool, but you change it on a regular basis!

 

IC, do you know if Vipre may join the testing at:
http://www.pcsecuritylabs.net/

If you see their reports and testing, basically, they do both static and dynamic testing. eg. not only testing the scanning and detection of files, they run/launch remaining files not detected by the AV to see if these files are picked up.

Latest PDF report for 2009 is here:

I too have been trying the Vipre.
Even though I personally don't use Windows very much, we are planning to upgrade our current AV at work on the remaining 11 WindowsXP workstations. So I am taking it for a test drive with my home license which I obtained for free due to a certain promo that was mailed(snail) to me. AWESOME!

Some Q's:

1.) While updating I have run into some major hanging with the updater trying to download definitions(I do not have it set to refresh fully) around 3 times.
Suggestions or me too's?
A.) Maybe #2 below?

2.) What are the coming improvements that were spoken of in the email(s)? Do we know when they will drop?
A.) MX-V: And I should have been asked already(to install), wonder when the last time I booted into windows was.....

3.) Does the Enterprise monitor run on a aging NT server? (Before anyone asks we CANNOT upgade this & will not anytime soon. Mission critical apps)

Thanks!

I, too, have purchased a license for Vipre and love it. I would like to try the Sunbelt Personal Firewall, but I am running Vista x64. Any idea when the firewall will be compatible with x64?

Hi!

Still testing VIPRE and imo it´s a very impressive software. Would like to purchase a single license but I need a firewall-solution, too.
The combination of VIPRE + Sunbelt firewall ist really expansive. Is there any chance to get a benefit when using VIPRE?

regards

 

Yes, there will be a suite with firewall etc.

In case you wanna run Vipre earlier (now) you can upgrade later "piss-cheap" to the full suite. Just keep a copy of the purchase receipt and you're fine.

So you don't have to buy the suite from scratch then.

Another to be part of Wilders. Thanks for the share!

 

what will be the price for the suite for familly pc's bundle?thanks

 

Thank you very much! I´ve just purchased VIPRE and I´m now waiting for the suite

Keep up the good work!

Best regards

 

Without being too much of a pain in the behind, any chance anyone has seen the issues I posted above or should I contact a rep from Sunbelt as I am truly evaluating it for business? I would like to get some other user input before I call though. Thanks

 

Looks interesting

I will try it out once it has bundled the firewall in the suite also

 

Hi!

Unfortunately, I have many problems with the new version released today. I´m not able to scan (custom-scan) anymore. When I select any file or folder VIPRE tells me that an unexpected error has occured. Quick-Scan and Deep-scan are still working fine.
Have reinstalled VIPRE but the problem still exists.

Windows Vista 32 / SP1

Regards

 

Have u contacted our support already?

 

Hi!
Yes...done that. Very nice and fast support btw.
It seems that the new version has problems with UAC of vista. When I disable user access control it works fine and without problems. With enabled UAC Vipre is not able to complete right-click-scanning (or custom-scanning). Starting VIPRE with administration-privileges does not help.

No problems with the old version so far.

Best regards

 

I am having the same problem with the right click scanning not working. Downloaded the 15-day trial today to test it, but after I installed it, it told me that there was a new version so I let it update and now cannot do a custom scan. It tells me that it encountered an error and to contact support.

Did not contact support yet, but will send in a support form after posting this. Hopefully this can be corrected before the 15 day trial is up.

Michael

 

Jepp...I have the same problems (full version/ newest updates)

I'm running XP. No problems with the new version.

 

Ok i will address that right now. If that's really a problem with UAC then we will know that in a couple of hours ( midnight here currently )

 

Trying to install the upgrade 3.1.2708 that came via the server earlier today has led to problems. It would seem there is a problem with the installer. Cannot get rid of these popups, even after several reboots. Also, it says the risk definitions are out of date.

 

I've been thinking about switching to VIPRE, but frequent errors/issues with new versions give me pause.

 

Wouldn't say frequent, where do you get that from, out of interest?

If these are your reasons then you'll be stuck for an AV solution given the past records of Avira, Avast, Kaspersky, Sophos, Norton, Mcafee etc. with upgrades/updates not counting when Vista came out.

It's all about how quickly the software house acknowleges the issue and addresses it, think you'll find that Sunbelt are pretty proactive in this area.
This thread makes reference to this further up.

In the end it's your cash, your choice but you may want to research a little further before casting aspersions!

 

Hi!
I´ve never had any problems with vipre before Imo it´s an excellent and decent sofware solution.

@New Version
Disabling uac solves all scanning-problems! But that should be only a work-around.
