Vipre Premium 4.0 coming soon

Good Evening ! just updated Vipre to the final Release Candidate 2 the product goes officially on release as of Tuesday March 2nd. The info was found on Sunbelt's Vipre web forum. There still isn't final info on it's pricing,I suppose everything will be revealed Tuesday. The product itself downloaded as smooth as silk. I'm interested in Vipre 4 Premium with the newly developed firewall. So far so good,something to look forward too. Sincerely...Securon

 

i enabled Hips in vipre 4 premium but i dont understand how this hips works,there are ant popup

i set now to allow and notify but nothing happens..........dont understand that

 

I don't believe we currently have it available in other languages.

Yes, we have already implemented the new update system. You'll notice more frequent definitions updates from VIPRE from now on. We now have the ability to do multiple definitions updates per hour if necessary.

The HIPS in VIPRE Premium would only be monitoring for code injection. If nothing is injecting code then you shouldn't expect a pop up.

 

Nick thank you for all the infos. I have to confirm that Vipre is a great product and I wish you the best with the new version and all the rest of the changes. Do you have any infos if Comodo will treat better the new Vipre version?
Thank you.

 

Im seriously considering running Vipre and the Firewall, but I havent seen any detection testing. When will Vipre get put into the Matousec FW test and AV Comparatives?

 

Thanx

 

I've actually just been doing some testing with this. In version 3.1 of VIPRE, the Defense+ feature from COMODO would cause issues because of the way it hooked into running processes. Because we have done a lot of process hardening in VIPRE 4.0, I don't believe this is a problem any longer. Unfortunately, I have seen some issues where COMODO seems to not be working correctly.

I have only tested this on a single system running XP SP3. When VIPRE was installed alongside COMODO, the COMODO Application Agent appears to be unable to start successfully. After a while I received an error on the Summary page and the option to run a diagnostics. After running the diagnostics, the issue seems to have been resolved.

It does appear there is some incompatibility here although there may be workarounds to issues. It may also be a good idea to add COMODO's program files to VIPRE's Always Allowed list. We'll have to do some further testing to determine what kinds of conflicts you may run into when running both programs. Of course you can always just use the firewall in VIPRE Premium.

I unfortunately don't have much information on this. Working in support I don't have much to do with this sort of thing. I know there has been a lot of talk about comparative testing recently but I don't have any specifics. I do know that our recent changes to our update process have helped to improve our detection rates, especially on rogue security programs. I also know that development did a lot of work making sure we didn't have any problems passing any of the leak tests and such that are available.

 

Hi Nick,
I see Vipre 4 is out. What is the procedure to upgrade from Vipre+SPF to Vipre Premium 4 ?
Do I just download and allow it to upgrade the older components ?

 

From VIPRE FAQ:

"If you are running another antivirus product or firewall, DO NOT enable VIPRE's Active Protection. Doing so may result in significant performance issues. Uninstall other antivirus products and firewalls before you install VIPRE Antivirus Premium."

Will I have any problems if I run Vipre with Prevx?

 

No I do in my VM's without issues! But I was just using VIPRE Antivirus without Firewall

TH

 

We'll have a page available on our website shortly which will allow you to upgrade your current VIPRE and SPF keys to a VIPRE Premium key. We have the download available on our website but we actually haven't started sending out the automatic updates yet. The automatic updates will be started once we have finished making the changes on our site which will be necessary to upgrade your key. We hope to have this completed by the end of the day.

Vipre detects keyloggers?

 

It would be great to see Vipre Premium on a Matousec test now.

 

Would be great to see Vipre included in AV Comparative tests as well, but that hasn't happened yet either.

 

Their user base would grow alot if they would just buckle down and get into Matousec and AVC.

 

Hey Nick can you comment on these Questions of VIPRE & VIPRE Premium being tested by third parties?

TH

 

I mentioned ten or eleven posts back, I unfortunately don't have much information on the comparative testing. I work in a completely different department than the people who deal with that. I'll see if I can get any further information on this.

 

That would be nice Thank You! Or get someone from that Dept to make a comment here for then we can all find out! Maybe Mike (Inspector Clouseau) can come by and say hi to us?

Regards,

TH

 

I had mentioned there had been a lot of talk around here recently about the comparative testing. As I'd suspected, you should see us included in the www.av-comparatives.org testing very soon. Apparently we had been waiting for the 4.0 release. We'll also still be included in the next VB100 as well as some other tests.

 

so in the final version has that tray icon been changed?

 

This unfortunately wasn't able to make it into this release. We tried to get it in but we had too many other high priority features and bug fixes that needed to be implemented. I spoke to the product manager about this and he told me it should be included in hotfix1 which is already being worked on. This update should include some improvements and new features although I don't have the specifics on what exactly is going to be included in this. We still have a lot of things we want to include in the product which we weren't able to get into the first 4.0 release. You should see quite a few nice features added in the next few updates.

 

is ther an ETA on hotfix1?
