Features

VIPRE is easy to install and launch on Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8 and 10. After installation it will automatically run in the background, scan your computer, and keep it safe without overburdening the CPU and slowing it down. VIPRE’s unique features also allow you to customize your protection.

Always-On Protection

Real-Time Monitoring and Protection and All-In-One PC

  • Security: Scans your computer regularly to make sure that it is always protected against threats. It can also wake up your computer to scan it. Scans will detect and clean infected files on your computer. You have the option to choose how often scans will be performed.
    High-Performance Anti-Malware Engine: VIPRE combines antivirus with anti-spyware for greater security for your computer. This technology is also designed in order to not slow down your computer.
  • Automatic Updates: VIPRE will automatically update itself as often as every 30 minutes to makes sure that your antivirus is equipped to handle the latest threats.
  • Advanced Anti-Rootkit Technology: VIPRE will automatically update itself as often as every 30 minutes to makes sure that your antivirus is equipped to handle the latest threats.

Online Security

  • Edge Protection: This keeps your computer safe from all of the latest threats by protecting your web browsers and their components. This feature stops exploits and other online threats from being downloaded to your computer, thus preventing you from accidently downloading harmful files.
  • Search Guard: Ensures your web surfing experience is a risk free one. It allows you to surf the web safely, and identifies links that could potentially infect your computer with viruses and other threats.
  • Email Virus Protection: a major vulnerability point in your online life is your email account, and VIPRE has that covered. This feature protects against email viruses in Outlook, Outlook Express, Windows Mail and other email programs that use POP3 and SMTP. It scans your incoming and outgoing emails, and protects you from phishing scams that try to steal your information.
  • Social Watch: This feature checks your social networks, such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and others, to make sure that they don’t contain malicious content or links that could infect your computer with malware and other online threats. This also narrows the threats that your social media friends are exposed to.

Convenience

You can exclude files from VIPRE’s scan, in order to achieve a faster computer scan. VIPRE will also skip scans in laptops, in order to save battery life, if the laptop is not currently charging. Instead it postpones the scan until your device is plugged in.

Removable devices

VIPRE automatically scans removable devices such as USB flash drives and other removable drives for different threats when you connect them to your computer.

Ease of use

VIPRE antivirus is conveniently downloaded straight to your computer. Once downloaded, it is ready for use and has default settings built in.

VIPRE is very easy to use. In the user interface there are three main tabs. The My VIPRE tab shows you when your computer was last scanned, when your next scan is scheduled, and if your antivirus is updated. You can also schedule scans on this page.

In your Account tab, you have your product number, your expiration date, help & support, and a link to the Support Center. You can also easily upgrade your antivirus from this tab.
The Manage tab includes the details of all of the features of VIPRE antivirus, which are divided into four main categories: Antivirus, Updates, Email, and Privacy. In each category, you have the related features, and you can choose if, or when, you want to use them. Each feature also comes with a brief explanation that will help you be more informed about your choices.
