"Sunbelt VIPRE Review — VIPRE Antivirus + Antispyware

When I began my evaluation period of Sunbelt Software's new VIPRE Antivirus + Antispyware program, I was promptly shocked.

I had read several reviews about VIPRE and had read phrases like "high performance" and "low resources." I had even read comments that where the writer said that VIPRE was virtually unnoticeable on their computer and that their computer suddenly had more speed that it had in a long time.

Naturally, I discounted those comments and claims, thinking that they were advertising exaggeration and hyperbole. They usually compare the computer's performance to when it had been running one of the big-name suites, so that wasn't too surprising any way.

I was shocked when I installed VIPRE on my notebook computer. I saw for myself that VIPRE didn't interfere with my activities. My computer really was faster with VIPRE, even faster than the speedy combination of CounterSpy and NOD32.

One evening I even ran a deep scan of my whole hard drive while I continued to do other things on my computer — like web browsing, email, Excel, web page editing, Usenet news reading, and other of my typical evening computer activities. I had no desire to stop VIPRE and let it run later — and that's amazing!"

Tech Tip
Sometimes I get emails from readers who want to know if they should drop a particular product and buy the one I use and recommend. Note the term "use and recommend" — if I don't use it, I won't recommend it.

Bottom Line

VIPRE's overall scores are almost as high as those of Spyware Doctor with AntiVirus 6. It detected every malware sample and removed most. It did, however, leave a couple of rootkits running. But it's still more effective than almost all of its competition.

Pros

Detected every installed malware sample and removed most. Deleted many malware installers on sight, detected remainder during install, blocked most. Certified for virus detection by West Coast Labs.

Cons

Failed to remove two rootkits. Failed to block installation of two rootkits. Many modified samples evaded its detection.
