    Off topic, but just one post and I will stop after this:

    Their Antivirus is just that - an AV program; not even a firewall as extra. A secure file eraser is hidden in the settings, disabled by default.
    My only grievance is that VIPRE is not configured for maximum security by default (check the settings, you'll see).
    It's one of the few products that behave exactly the same in every PC I've installed it on and is extremely unobtrusive.

    It makes sense for those vendors to offer browsers, as their AVs are free and their browsers can be used to compel users into purchasing their paid-for solution(s).
