RE: Anti Virus premium Lifetime license

I agree with Storm, it is expensive and considering we don't know what will become of VIPRE in the future, it's probably not worth buying. Imagine if for some reason, the product would be discontinued or something similar happening. A yearly license if a much better choice.
Totally agree, since Sunbelt got bought out by GFI, we don't know what the future will hold for VIPRE.
I tried it for the first time last month on my WinXP system, and after I installed it, it refused to update definitions. No matter what I did, it would not update with only Windows default firewall. I had to go to their support site and manually download the latest definition file and import into VIPRE. I tried it for 3 days and still it refused to auto update so I got rid of it. I can remember before the same problem applied to CounterSpy.
The definition files are way too large, it hasn't changed since CounterSpy. Many users can't auto update which basically makes it useless for them. In order to make VIPRE more successful, the definition files are going to have to be reduced in size and they are going to have to improve their update servers.
Thanks.
