App Review Vipre Advanced Security BETA

[Trident]

I think the BB of Vipre is also from Bitdefender. I tested both in private.
Why not I guess, developing a world-class Behavior Blocker is much harder than buying from Bitdefender.

It is from Bitdefender. Everything apart from the firewall is BD (Bitdefender does not offer firewall as an SDK).

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!

Malware URL test : 10/10 (All blocked)

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.
