Is your antivirus software slowing down your PC? Ditch that old antivirus software and replace it with VIPRE: high-performance, next-generation antivirus + antispyware. VIPRE gives you powerful protection against today's highly complex threats, and IS NOT a resource hog.

What's New In Vipre AntiVirus Internet Security Suite (v5) 2012 ?

We have kept all the strong points of VIPRE antivirus + antispyware but made extensive under-the-hood improvements, including support for removable drives; enhanced support for 64-bit environments, including a 64-bit boot cleaner and 64-bit rootkit scanner; support for Firefox Scan Extensions, and other overall quality improvements to improve VIPRE's efficiency and performance. Apart from a firewall, this is all you need for your PC Internet Security, and with that you deserve better tech support. PC Magazine Analyst Neil Rubenking said about the new (v5) 2012: "Bottom Line - VIPRE is a very good standalone antivirus tool that outscores all but the very best of its competition in my tests. Those with more than three computers will love its unlimited home license." And check what he said about VIPRE tech support! (bottom page).

VIPRE Is Antivirus Certified

The movies have their Oscars. Cars have the JD Power Awards. Antivirus products have their so-called 'VB100' Certification, awarded by the world's premier virus certification lab: Virus Bulletin. Only products that catch all the viruses they test for are getting the prestigious VB100 award. VIPRE is VB100 certified and confirmed to give you world-class quality in detecting and removing malware. VIPRE is also ICSA and West Coast Labs Checkmark Anti-Virus Desktop certified, and continues to get additional certifications through other certifying bodies. Microsoft has certified VIPRE as compatible with Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7.

Virus Bulletin said in their VIPRE review (tested on Windows 7): "The WildList proved no obstacle despite the set of tricky Virut samples, and with no false positives either VIPRE earns a VB100 on its first appearance; we hope to see many more."

The Press Loves It

ZDNet said in their security blog about the VIPRE Antivirus + Antispyware: "Sunbelt Software's VIPRE - I've finally found an antivirus package that delivers the goods. In a follow-up posting they did a performance shoot-out and concluded: "Sunbelt Software's claim that VIPRE doesn't hog system resources and doesn't slow down a PC isn't just marketing hyperbole but is actually true."

How much of your PC is being hijacked by antivirus bloatware ?

Over time, instead of writing new and better software, old-style antivirus companies have stacked layer upon layer of security engines on top of each other, (one for viruses, a second for spyware, a third engine for rootkits, a fourth for malicious web links and so on) and created bloatware in the process. They slow down your PC, have slow scan times and cause performance problems.

Why are hardware vendors pre-installing antivirus bloatware on your new PC, Laptop and Netbook?

Have you ever asked yourself why your PC or Laptop vendor would slow down their new machines on purpose by pre-installing software that can hijack up to 20% of your new PC's resources? Here is the dirty little secret of the industry: The big antivirus companies pay hardware vendors 7 or 8 bucks for every machine they pre-install antivirus bloatware on, hoping you will renew their software after the first few months free. It's time to uninstall those resource hogs and get VIPRE instead. It's simply a better product at a lower price. And you'll love your faster PC.

Thought you could rely on the free Windows firewall? Nope.

Unfortunately, the Windows firewall gives you a false sense of security. It only protects incoming traffic, and by default allows all outgoing traffic. That means outgoing browser traffic, which could contain your credit card info, social security number, bank accounts, passwords and other confidential information is not protected. The Windows firewall will let it all go out (in XP, Vista, and Windows7). That is why we recommend our new VIPRE Antivirus Premium. It's got all of the above and has a weapons-grade 2-way firewall integrated, for just 10 bucks more! Get the Premium version here.

Why VIPRE Antivirus Premium? Its Weapons-grade 2-way Firewall Comes With Rottweiler

With the VIPRE Antivirus Premium version you get a 2-way desktop firewall, and additional, more advanced intrusion protection. See it like this. The firewall is like having all your doors and windows upgraded and equipped with new state-of-the art locks. But a burglar could throw a brick through the back window and wreak havoc inside. That's why people have burglar alarms, often with motion detectors. VIPRE's firewall is like your PC's new strong doors, windows and locks. But Internet traffic does need to get through, because you want to browse the web. So that is why the advanced intrusion protection is there as super burglar alarms that have the added benefit that they can stop an attacker in their tracks. Think of the VIPRE Antivirus Premium version as 'Rottweiler in the house'.

Cutting-edge Proactive Protection

Sunbelt's advanced security technology is famous for being in the front lines in the battle against new and unknown malware, known as 'zero-day threats'.

IMPROVED - VIPRE's Genscan™ and Cobra™ technologies are super efficient to determine if something is malware.

Full Protection Against Email-borne Threats
VIPRE includes comprehensive protection against email viruses, with direct support for Outlook, Outlook Express and Windows Mail; and support for any email program that uses POP3 and SMTP. Microsoft Security Esssentials does not have this feature. And email is very often how malware comes in. You get what you pay for
