In the organization’s real-world protection test published in April 2018, Vipre blocked 99.1 percent of 224 test cases with one false alarm. Over at A-V Comparatives, Vipre also scored high. In the standard malware test, which uses nearly 6,000 samples, Vipre scored 100 percent. In April 2018, VAS scored 100 percent against zero-day, web, and email threats. Taking a look at AV-Test’s most recent scores for Vipre’s performance reveals that the security suite did very well. So look for more on this front from Vipre in the future. Vipre already has its Intrusion Detection System under Manage > Firewall, and the company says it’s investing in smart home security. This is becoming a standard feature in suites such as Bullguard and ESET. One notable security option missing from Vipre right now is a more robust network scanner to better address the growing smart home trend. This will add parental controls as well as the ability to manage Vipre on multiple PCs in the home. The company tells me that in the latter half of 2018 it will unveil a cloud component similar to VipreCloud for small businesses. That is pretty much all there is to Vipre, at least for now. The privacy section also has a history cleaner that can remove your browsing and search history from most browsers. It erases all traces of a file so it’s more securely erased. There’s also a “Secure File Eraser” feature that is known as a file shredder in other security suites. To do this you’ll need to authorize Vipre to access your Facebook account. To use VAS’s Social Watch feature you need to log in to your Facebook account.įinally, the Privacy section has a particularly interesting feature called “Social Watch” that scans your Facebook timeline at set intervals, such as hourly, every two hours, every four hours, once daily, or twice daily. That does require a lot of notifications and interactions with Vipre until everything is figured out. There’s also an option to allow Vipre to monitor and learn about your network traffic to better customize firewall rules. This allows you to set rules for in-network intrusions base on high, medium, and low priorities. There’s also an intrusion detection system, which is off by default. Vipre’s Firewall settings let you manage rules for which apps are allowed outbound and inbound communication. All of these options are on by default, though if you use a desktop app that isn’t Outlook you will probably want to customize the incoming and outgoing port scans.
VAS scans ports used by your mail client for potential malware.Įmail offers options for filtering mail in Outlook for desktop, or for scanning specific ports for other mail clients such as Thunderbird.
Like most antivirus solutions, Vipre has a cloud component that uploads threats to its network in order to gather as much information as possible about the current threats users are confronting. Updates has only one notable option, which is Vipre’s cloud-based ThreatNet. One notable option that some users might like is Quiet mode, which means Vipre will just take care of threats without notifying you. Vipre Advanced Security Antivirus settings.Īntivirus includes a virus quarantine section, and some advanced protection options, some of which are on by default, such as the ability for Vipre to block potentially malicious processes. This section is broken down further into five different categories: Antivirus, Updates, Email, Firewall, and Privacy. You will find some additional options, however, if you dive into the Manage section.
#VIPRE ADVANCED SECURITY FOR ANDROID PC#
VAS is here to scan your PC for the bad stuff, and that’s it. The difference is that in other suites there would be other nooks and crannies of the service to the dive into, but not so with Vipre. At this point it’s not that different from other security suites.
