Version: Vipre Antivirus + Antispyware 3.1.2416
Pros: Over the last 15 years we had McAfee, Norton, AVG and the free edition of Panda. Also had CW Shreader, Adware, Spybot and none ot them have worked as well as Vipre. We have three computers on this virus program and no problems for a 6 months.
Cons: None so far
Summary: Great program and runs in the back ground with very little resources, not like all the other prograns that really slow down all three of our computers! Won't ever go back to the other programs. All the other have let in virus's and other spyware. ... read more

Version: Vipre Antivirus + Antispyware 3.1.2416
Pros: Low on system resources. Provides top of the line protection without putting a dent in your wallet. You will not find a better Technical Support Call Center.
Cons: It has allowed a few infections to slip through, but that is more my fault because I have downloaded and/or installed something from an untrustworthy source. I know better than to blame VIPRE. Hint, don't use P2P programs and avoid infections.

Version: Vipre Antivirus + Antispyware 3.1.2416
Pros: It's a virus + antispyware rolled into 1.
Cons: I kept it updated, still got infected several tiimes, even though it ran at startup with High Active Protection + did scans regularly. It's not worth the money. It's a system resource hog on an old computer. Def. files are huge for manual update.
Summary: I use ClamWin now & am happier & use something else for malware. read more

"Ineffective..Bleepingcomputer and Malwarebytes fixed it"
Pros: Quick response on telephone calls to Tech Support. American (easy to understand) tech support.
Cons: Ineffective. Finally I gave up and went to Bleepingcomputer.com. They told me how to stop the problem processes and told me to download and use Malwarebytes. Downloaded free. FIXED ALL PROBLEMS...I bought it!
Summary: INEFFECTIVE....located no problem files despite serious infections. I had a BAD redirection problem and "Total Security" malware which pretty much crippled my nice new Samsung netbook. I read good review in CNET and downloaded Counterspy. Tech the... read more
