I promised you I will present other free solutions in the field of the antivirus programs and I came with a new one. Although this program is not actually free, you will benefit of a 30 day free trial and if you don’t like the program, you may uninstall it and search for another. If you want to buy it, you can access CNET and buy it from there (it costs almost 30 dollars to buy), but from the manufacturer’s site as well. Speaking of the manufacturer, this is Sunbelt Software.
This antivirus solution has an antispyware solution integrated as well. It is good that the antivirus manufacturers started to see that these go hand in hand, and you protect your computer for nothing against viruses, if the computer offers a free way to spyware programs, that are there to see your online behaviour, to see what are you looking for when you search on a search engine, on what sites you enter the most and other things like these. Normally, a spyware is not that harmfull like a virus is, but you should protect the computer from these threats as well.
It is a high performance security software that doesn’t make your computer run slower. You know that there are some antivirus programs, usually belonging to that category of antivirus programs which will install more than 20 MB into your computer, which might slow down your computer. And when you will perform a scan, the computer will have to be let to do only this operation, since it will consume almost all your resources and your other potential task will be most likely affected negatively by this scanning process. With this antivirus, these things don’t happen, because there you have a new generation antivirus software, which overcame these shortcomings.
Vipre offers protection against the most powerful spyware that could penetrate your computer, against e-mail threats and malware programs blended with viruses that are eager to destroy your files and eventually your computer. The program is functional on the Windows systems. Those who have Linux or Mac cannot use this program, because it will not be installed on systems like that. The installation requires a few minutes and you don’t have to turn off and then turn on the computer to make it available. So, no reboot. After installation, you will be asked by the newly installed program a few questions. One of the question will say if you want to perform a scan. My opinion is to say Yes, to make sure that the computer is cleaned. If it is not cleaned, at least you can let the antivirus program to clean it from potential threats that could have stayed on your computer for many months now.
The Vipre interface is clean and user-friendly. If you want to see what were the cookies and the threats that were deleted by this program a year ago, you can enter the history and see what were the files which were cleaned and of what the files were cleaned. There is an option called PC Explorer, which allows you to see the processes which are running on your computer, which don’t have to run and which are suspect of being malicious software. You should delete those files, if they are not important, just to make sure that you have eliminated all the possible threats. If they are important, you should clean them by using the Clean function of this software.
