Shadowra, I was wondering. Besides Kaspersky (since we can't use it in USA), what are your top 5 AV/IS/TS Softwares, concerning PC security.

Thank You
Forgot to mention, besides Microsoft defender too.

Thanks
Vipre is a relatively well-known American antivirus for geeks.
Formerly with Sunbelt, then GFI, Vipre was taken over by ThreatTrack several years ago and added Bitdefender's engine alongside its own.
The software has evolved little over the years, but let's see how effective it still is.



User interface :
The interface is clear but rather complicated for a novice.
Even if Vipre is fairly self-explanatory, the novice can get lost in the configuration (for example, protection against unknown threats is not activated by default... I activated it for the test).
In terms of RAM consumption, Vipre is very light.

Web protection: 13/13
Vipre has blocked all malicious links.

Fake crack : 1/1
Vipre blocks all files dropped by the fake crack.

Malware Pack : Remaining 15 files out of 141.
The anti-malware engine is relatively effective, since it combines its own with Bitdefender's.
In terms of execution, Vipre blocks several installations but does not always display an alert.
Only one Trojan remains in memory.

Final scan :
Vipre : 0
NPE : 4
KVRT : 0

Final opinion:

Vipre offers effective protection by combining its technologies with those of Bitdefender.
My only regret is that it doesn't always alert you, and can sometimes slow down your surfing experience as it scans the page in depth.
The settings can be confusing for novices, and although Vipre provides explanations, they're not always easy to understand.
Only 1 Trojan remains in memory at the end of the test, and the machine is easily disinfected.
Vipre is recommendable.
