"Not Free and Tons of updates."
Version: VIPRE Antivirus 2012 5.0
Pros
-A lot of updates
-More updates plz I am on 56kbpsCons
-A lot of warning indicator that can never be disabled.
-therefore, a lot of exclamation mark that cannot be hide, it will finds it way to inform you. just like a virus!Summary
Such an inferior product with tons of pop up asking you to secure your system thus renew my license really tells me that even keeping viruses at my system is much better off than having this application that not only degenerate the looks of my system, rather my psychological state of system readiness.

"Vipre Internet Security 2012"
Version: VIPRE Antivirus 2012 5.0
Pros
i am going to point out some good evidence that Vipre internet Security 2012 can stand the top 1 between the famous Norton Internet Security and Norton 360.
-Vipre Does let our pc running light/fast it doesnt consumes cpu that much like that knowned antivirus Bitdefender or Kaspersky
Vipre antivirus for what i saw here on the cnet some said "it doesn't do nothing on background that's why it's light"
Wrong.. Vipre has permanent monitor of your background and he does detect any suspicious virus or cracks that you want to put on your system to have that program free.
-Vipre is among on myself and for my knownledge compared to Norton Internet Security i had test out a lot of antivirus like bitdefender (buggy and heavy) Kaspersky(consumes a lot of ram and doesnt desinfect your pc completely from virus)
They are optimized to recognize new viruses that seems suspicious to the scan,even they can break to decrypt files to verify for virusCons
Vipre Company has not release a full database for UnBlocked/Blocked Websites in other means this means that vipre blocks one website wrong yet.
Summary
The many antivirus i had it and i've test it both on my experience along this years that worth to have there position on the top are Vipre Internet Security and Norton Why this? It is clearly that both work fine on detection of virus,malware and others.. They are optimized to recognize new viruses that seems suspicious to the scan,even they can break to decrypt files to verify for virus
This Antivirus is worth to buy, it is yet on the development but still has inspected it as an 97% overall rate of capture virus, still does need to improve in some areas, some bugs and performance correction.
I must say for 2 years ive been using this antivirus and im free of virus on my computer,side along i use Emsisoft Anti Malware. -

*firewalls good
THATS ITCons

"Allowed Malware"
Version: VIPRE Antivirus 2012 5.0
Pros
I thought it worked well.
Cons
Allowed the ever-so-popular SmartHDD Malware on my computer and it took me FOREVER to get it off.
Summary
I'm not a computer genius so I rely on reviews to purchase programs of this nature. I paid for the whole shabang as I thought it was great, had great reviews on here, and it seemed to update everything and scan nightly. All of a sudden the Smart HDD malware took everything over and it was a PIA to fix and it took me hours. I'll be getting rid of this from my computer STAT.

"Awesome AV"
Version: VIPRE Antivirus 2012 5.0
Pros
-Lite on resources
-Doesn't slow your system down
-Not a nagger AV
-Runs quietly in the background and does a good job
-Good value
-Real phone support if you need it, but you won't.Cons
I can't find any
Summary
This is great AV software. It runs in the background doing its job efficiently and doesn't nag you to death. I have been using it for at least three generations on multiple household computers and it has only been improved with each generation.
I haven't had any negative experiences with Vipre as some of the other reviewers claim. -

"**** BOUGHT IT!! IT SUCKS & SUCKS & SUCKS ****"
Version: VIPRE Antivirus 2012 5.0
Pros
Easy to install. Great History cleaner.
Cons
Slows both computer down: 32sec boot time on one (windows vista), 51sec boot time on other (windows 7). Specs came straight from windows trouble shooter. There is no weekend phone support sucks. Vipre had a average antivirus in 2011 for the money. The 2012 version is worse than a free anti virus. Mastercard will be getting my phone call shortley. REFUND REFUND
Summary
I bought Vipre in 2010 ran it for 2yrs. With a few minor problems. My subscripiton expired so I bought a 2012 for 2yr. 2012 SUCKS & SUCKS. I am very disapointed in cnet for there review on this antivirus. I am going to have to research somewhere else for reviews.
