Hello and welcome to the Vipre BETA test.
Vipre is a well-known antivirus software edited by ThreatTrack, formerly managed by SunBelt and GFI.
Vipre has always been known by geeks or computer security enthusiasts, but not by novices.

For this version, Vipre comes back with improvements like the AMSI system, or a new behavioral blocker!
But, Vipre abandons its excellent anti-malware scanner to use the Bitdefender engine.

The interface has not changed at all. On the other hand, a memory and file processing optimization has been done, and the optimization is violent! It's light and fast, I love it.

The detection is still very good! Vipre even blocks the download of the fake crack! I don't know how it does it since it contains a password, but I applaud it!

On the files, VIPRE did not surprise! It manages without any problem to catch up with everything I launch! It blocks and disinfects the machine thanks to its behavioral shield (VIPRE.Behavior), I really loved how it works.
Attention, it is not activated by default, too bad.

This BETA version is very promising and for the first time, Vipre finally enters my recommended antivirus!
Congratulations!



RAM Usage : Low
Malware URL test : 10/10 (All blocked)
Fake crack : 1/1 (The fake crack could not be launched, Vipre has detected directly)
Malware Pack : Remaining 21 files out of 223.
Very surprised by Vipre..
He blocked all the attacks we gave him with his new VIPRE.Behavior shield!
Just one false positive from the pack was in memory (Tencent) that we don't count

Resistance to script attacks: Yes

Result :
Vipre : 0
NPE: 0

Recommand : Yes, recommanded
System Clean : Yes, system protected and clean

With everyone using either Bidefender or Kaspersky engines; what separates those solutions? Just engine optimizations?

I feel like the home user anti-malware landscape is becoming to look like the browser landscape. Basically among all the multiple browsers out there in reality there is only 3. Chrome, Firefox and opera. The rest are just lipsticks on a....

Now corporate landscape is expanding heavily into ML and AI but the home user one seems stagnant in those areas.

Indeed, it's seen as "optimizations", but I'd say it's more a case of using Bitdefender or Kaspersky performance without being completely with them.
