VIPRE Antivirus 4.0.4210 (Beta)

 

Testing vipre now and is much more lighter in memory and CPU resources than Avira, but the Scan make me much nervous because this Deep Scan take 01 hour and 47 minutes for finished

 

Is that a bad thing? Or does that mean it's doing a thorough check?

 

Yes thorough check, but with avira thorough check take only 40 minutes. Vipre is a absurd.

 

Good Evening ! Still have a License for Vipre Premium and have also found the Deep Scan is as quoted...absurdly long...my system scan clocking in at over two and a half hours...I'm currently using Avira V 10 I.S. Suite and a full scan is roughly over seventy minutes...that too me is acceptable. It will be interesting in seeing whether GFI/Vipre might consider implementing some form of Digital Fingerprinting to greatly reduce the scan times. I vaguely remember while using Vipre a couple of years ago that the deep scan time was only an hour and a half. I'll be keeping abreast of the Beta activity and of course everyone's participation and observations. Sincerely...Securon

 

Full-(Deep System Scan)- scan times are not Vipre's forte; the Guard's relative lightness is its great strength.

I never carry out a full system scan with Vipre/Vipre Premium.

Just do a quick scan with Vipre and the occasional scan with Hitman Pro for backup.

 

Vipre v5 will probably increase scan time.

 

We're actually working to implement a fast second scan feature in VIPRE 5.0. I'm not positive on exactly how this will be implemented as it's still in development but it should help to significantly lower scan times after one full scan has been run. I believe it will also be optional and you can choose to run a regular full scan as well if you prefer.

 

you mean ignoring files which already been scanned ?

 

Nevis,

As I mentioned, I'm not positive on the implementation yet as this is still in development. I do know that we have considered scenarios such as new detections being added for threats that might have been missed in previous scans and we should have a method in place to prevent issues with this so we will not completely ignore files that have previously been scanned.

 

Hi Nick,

I dont know why that Active Protection always scan my programs when i open, it dont use a cache? ESET is a example because the real time monitoring is only scanning the first execution and only is scanned again when the program is modified, with it he not kill execution of my programs when i open again.

version 5 is for when?

 

ESS474,

Active Protection does use a cache so that once it scans a file, it won't scan it again. However, this cache gets cleared any time there is a definition update or VIPRE is shutdown. The cache is cleared so we can rescan any items again to be sure they aren't detected as a threat with the latest definitions.

If you are experiencing any performance issues with Active Protection then I'd suggest trying out our latest beta release which has some performance improvements.

Version 5 does not currently have a specific release date set but we expect to have a beta release available within the next couple months.

 

I tested the latest "4194" and BETA "4210" no differences in performance here.

Please put in version 5 "Edit Settings" for Heuristic, Behavior Blocker, etc... in version 4 i no can change nothing....

 

Notable problems is with Revo Uninstaller/Firefox, both freezes by some seconds when i open...

 

I forget Ashampoo burning studio 10, this take big time for open..

 

Please have you got some news about the french translation ?

 

EboO,

Shortly after 5.0 is released we are planning to release a Spanish and Portuguese version of VIPRE. I believe French will be the next version after these are complete. This will likely be around the VIPRE 5.1 release although there isn't a specific time frame for this as of yet.

 

ESET only caches til a definition update or the pc is shut down, after which the cache is reset.

 

It sounds like this works exactly the same as our cache then. It wouldn't make much sense protection wise to not clear the cache when definitions are updated.

 

yep, i agree. i'm not a big fan of monolithic fingerprint caches.

sure, it can improve scan times, but i've seen other products miss detection of newly detectable threats after the infected file(s) had been fingerprinted.

sort of unrelated, but do you happen to know what causes the incompatibility b/w VIPRE and Zemana antilogger? running them in tandem causes zemana to crash at boot pretty regularly. Zemana doesn't claim compatibility, but I was more or less curious if it was something I could work around w/settings in VIPRE.

 

Thanks Nick.
