    I know your not supposed to post discount codes and such but not asking for a code specifically but did Sunbelt ever provide any discount for wilder's members or potential new vipre customes? I ask this because awhile back Alex asked for ideas and one I gave was offering a discount of sort to existing cmpetitive product license holders. His response was he would bring it up with thier marketing but I never heard anything again on it. I am seriously considering trying vipre but since I currently hold a 2 year remaining mcafee license, I am reluctant unless some sort of discount can be had. Anyway if there is any info on this please let us know as I am sure I am not the only one here interested in that.

    As an example just this week at BestBuy they are offering Kaspersky 2009 AV for $19.99 instant rebate.

    Thanks, I googled this like crazy but could find nothing, essentially I was not asking for discount codes but instead if a discount even existed. Kind of whether or not I should continue to even bother...

    Avira, KAV, Bitdefender, Norton, to name a few.

    I sent an e-mail to Sunbelt support asking about this. To my surprise I received a response in less than 24 hours. I wasn't expecting a response so quickly. I was very impressed. I was told there will be weekend updates in the near future.

    hello,
    has anyone tryed running it along side superantispyware with realtime protection enabled on both?
    last time i tryed vipre in a virtual machine it worked fine.
    but yesterday when i tryed it it kept crashing.
    could be due to the fact i was using superantispyware 4.2 pro beta with realtime protection on.
    can anyone confirm with sas pro released version with realtime protection on?

    You gotta realize what there updating is probably stuff they encounter, anything you send in, 99% of the time isn't including in those updates, user submissions get a much lower priority

    -brian

    just looking at a list of updates for today, only 1 vendor so far that shows what it updates

    http://www.dozleng.com/updates/index.php?act=calendar&cal_id=1&code=showevent&event_id=46132

    theres like 7 things there :p, just cause they update on the weekends, it's usually stuff they feel is required, IE more major stuff, it's just how it goes, noone wants to work weekends ;)

    Why use two different real-time scanners simultaneously?
    It will only cause problems like it did in your case. That´s clearly stated on sunbeltsoftware´s webpage... they highly unrecommend using another real-time scanner with VIPRE.
    Having SAS on-demand is usually enough (if not overkill in this case).

    then again nick does design superantispyware to be able to run alongside any other protection without any conflicts.

    VIPRE is running very well, stable (so far) and extremely light on the PC.

    0% cpu
    1 process
    37mb used

    works on x64, i suggest people try it before judging. ;)

    I'm not judging. Have been testing it from the beginning. Just curious to see you change. You are one of the persistent ones.

    I just have the problem that it just refuses my proxy.
    What firewall do you use with it?

    well, if you read my posts carefully, ive already told you why :)

    so, during my time with Vipre and sunbelt, lets give it a good test, get it noticed a little bit and get people questioning their own solution. :D
