| Vipre Software Review
Pros: Impressive malware removal
and blocking. Small impact on performance and
comes with Web filter stops the known malicious
sites.
Cons: Its Phishing protection is less effective.
Users must select between the limited firewall
protection and several pop-ups. There is no
filter or parental control.
Summary: The VIPRE Premium takes the effective
solution of Sunbelt on malware and incorporates
a firewall. If you are searching for protection
beyond a very simple anti-malware without performance
impact of full suite VIPRE premium, it may suit
you perfectly.
Review:
Sunbelt has been continuously defending consumer
and business customers against malware and with
VIPRE Premium Antivirus 4.0; it has even strengthened
its reputation in the world of antivirus software.
VIPRE Premium comes with additional firewall
protection and malicious websites filter. It
does not have components of a typical suite,
particularly the spam protection and protection
control.
Easy Installation:
The installer of VIPRE premium is small, but
expands quite a bit on downloading the initial
collection of malware signatures. Approximately,
the system installation takes about 15 minutes,
more than half of that involved downloading
signatures. The product checks for the latest
updates before scanning. Often times, malware
interfered with the installation on test systems.
The command line scanner cleared up to system
problems sufficiently for the full product’s
installation.
Malware Detection
and Removal:
The on-demand and on-schedule of VIPRE Premiums
malware scanning is exactly the same as other
products. It comes with a real-time active protection
and it scored better than other brands.
Features:
Web-filtering features offer another layer of
protection by blocking the access to malware-hosting
sites.
Phishing Protection:
Its Web filter feature of VIPRE Premium 4 blocks
malicious sites such as phishing sites which
attempt to trick you in giving away security
credentials and other information.
Small Performance
Impact:
It is the exactly the opposite
of archetypical feature bloated security suite
but it does not include parental control and
anti spam. Its real time protection had minimal
impact on the file operations. VIPRE added 45
percent to the boot time but is less than the
average suite. It adds 30 percent to the time
required in the browsing test.
VIPRE Antivirus Premium 4.0
performs a great job in terms of removing and
blocking malware. For user who wants a little
more than plain protection on malware, but are
not comfortable with full suite, this software
might just be the perfect one for you. It may
not be the best around, but it delivers as promised.
