  • Safer Internet: Major improvements to our firewall and network threat scanning engines target network-borne attacks and threats.
  • Malicious App Detection: If a particularly sneaky app gets past our main scanning engine, our app monitoring and blocking technology will use both rule-based and behavioral techniques to find rogue apps and shut them down.
  • Go Faster: Top-to-bottom improvement in performance lets you work and play faster and more efficiently - and you won't know we’re there.

Perhaps it is underestimated or perhaps it has less marketing power, but certainly it is an excellent product.

I think most people thought they saw the last of Vipre after the acquisition of Sunbelt by GFI. Then the split from GFI to what is now ThreatTrack. They fell off for a bit until they got more involved with Bitdefender. Then Vipre picked back up quickly. Smart move and looks to be in their favor to pick the business up again. Now they have the time to improve upon their own technology finally. :D
