vipre..wow

HOSS ? What do you mean ?

It wasn't in any dictionary I checked.

 

You need to check the Dixie Dictionary.

 

Fly, To switch it to learning mode you change the Any other application options in the network security to Ask, which will make it pop up and ask when a program not already on the list tries to connect in or out. This is good when you want to allow something in or out that might not be working correctly and you want to troubleshoot it, but if it you leave it like that you might start to get annoyed with the frequency at which you get them for both know, and unknown programs.

We are working to increase the transfer speed of the definition updates, but because we are also having to keep up with the always increasing number of users try to get the updates, it is an uphill battle we are working hard to win.

We are doing major re-writing of the Sunbelt personal firewall, and will have a version that integrates into Vipre. Its still in development, so sorry no release dates.

Please let me know if you have any other questions.
Thanks,
Peter

 

Hello,
will the first release of the new firewall work on 64bit vista?

 

lodore, Yes the version that is currently in development should also work on 64bit systems.

 

i would love to install only the antivirus

is there a free version ?

 

At this time we do not have a Free version of Vipre, but compared to many other anti-virus's we should be very competitively priced.

 

Hi Peter,



This is the last edition ?



Thanks



Note:

With Vista 32 { windows live mail } Vipre work fine ?

For Vista 32 is necessary the special cure of the installation { windows defender etc } ?

 

Yes that link is to the latest released version of Vipre.

For having Vipre scan Windows mail you just need to select Outlook express in the email protection tab.

I am not sure what you mean by "the special Cure".

Let me know if you have any other questions.
Thanks,
Peter

 

OT:
PeterHSunbelt,
Are you really from Sunbelt? We haven't seen Sunbelt here for a good long time!
Do you also frequent the firewall thread here?
If no, I'm done.
If yes, considering I saw your earlier post about revising the firewall, would you entartain a wish list in the 'other firewalls' forum and would that wish list be taken seriously enough for me to bother even to put one together?

 

i read in a magazine is the best of the best

i will give a try

is there a clenaer to uninstall after?

but it's not in the list of virus bulletin ...

 

Ok, thanks Peter

 

Yes I do work for Sunbelt software.
I only visit that firewall forum from time to time to see if there are any posts about the Sunbelt Personal Firewall, which I have not seen lately.
If you wish to make a list I will pass it on, but because it still in the middle of development they are probably not looking for new features to add quite yet.

Using add/remove programs should be sufficient to remove it, but if you do wish to use a cleaner you can download one from here. http://www.sunbelt-software.com/support/VC/CS&VClean.exe

If you have any other questions please let us know.

Thanks,

i'm a not a good av expert

can i uninstall nod32 ?
and use vipre , is safe like nod?

 

You should be just as safe with Vipre as you are with Nod32.

 

I want to try it. Do I need to uninstall NOD32 or can I just install vipre and run it parallel to NOD32, considering I turn off real time protection of NOD32 during the test?

 

i 'm reading the manual behavior detection , and there is nothing


is like comodo firewal i mean the hips , in custom mode?

 

IME, always better to completely uninstall one AV before trying another one. Reboot, then carry out the new install.

If you have one, even better to take a fresh snapshot/image before the new install.

strange clicking on this link kaspersky flashes up as a virus

 

... and that indeed is strange. When I run it here with AntiVir Premium with RTP heuristics set to medium (because I run it in automatic operation and think the level should be sufficient considering my other software running at the same time which I will mention now), TF and the latest beta of Prevx there were no warnings or prompts whatsoever - and I didn't expect anything else. You should definitely notify Kaspersky about this.

 

It is Defiantly a false positive. That is a utility that we wrote internally, so it is free of any threats. We have not had any major reports of this so its probably heuristics that are identifying it.

I agree that you should contact Kaspersky to let them know.

If you continue to have problems with it or have any other questions just let me know.
Thanks,
Peter

 

I have just started using this product today and am totally impressed with what Sunbelt has done. I really have never downloaded till today and it is as light as a feather. I like the GUI and the ease of use. I realize time will tell, but for me, I am ~Snip~ I had not installed it before today.

 

Testing right now... observations so far:


- Needs restart after installing.

- Non-fading pop-ups after a while or after the user gets active again.

- Detects IE8 as suspicious! (Might have something with BHO to do... AVG LinkScanner? I'm trying to find the FAQ about that incompatibility again, but can't find it right now atleast...) Blocked it because I thought "oh, that must be bad..." - and then IE gets blocked permanently! (Yes, I know how to remove VIPRE from doing that - that's not the issue.)


If I consider having other software having good enough proactive features too, should I probably set VIPRE to "Low" Active Protection setting, the one which says "Recommended" when you come to the in-program settings, but not in the wizard?

 

Being intrusive with its notifications IMO, I would rather it built a list of the things that it blocks if there are multiple with slow fade of individual items, and also doesn't "repeat itself".
