What's New

Welcome and thank you for participating in the beta program. As a beta-tester, you're helping us make sure the latest versions work as intended. 


Advanced Security


Antivirus Plus


This latest beta release of VIPRE includes a substantial upgrade of our Active Protection allowing for increased protection and performance. We've also enhanced product hardening in order to improve service protection, adding registry keys, and file protection.


Gaming Mode

Finally, we've added an exciting new feature called Gaming Mode that prevents VIPRE from running any resource-intensive background activity, such as file scans, patch scans, or update operations. That way, video games. or any other resource-heavy application, you may be using can use as many resources as necessary to provide an optimal experience.

Refer to Related Articles for full details including how to enable and configure Gaming Mode.

FABULOUS, THANKS!

The Outlook Add Ins shows its there,  Load at startup, And checked, but wont open. (different desktop, Outlook 2013/ Win7))


Anyone else using outlook?

Anyone else experiencing this problem?

John, are you expecting to see a toolbar or visual display of the add-in in Outlook?  You would actually manage this within VIPRE, not in Outlook.  There is nothing displayed in Outlook related to the add-in and nothing to open.  

So what you’re saying is, I’d have to copy and paste each individual spam email into my filter?
Yes, I was expecting to see it on my Outlook “toolbar”

John, that's correct.  You would need to manage this within VIPRE itself.  There isn't a toolbar within Outlook.  

VIPRE Antivirus Plus and VIPRE Advanced Security Betas are now closed as we have made the release public for new installation and in-app updates. We will pushed the update notifications on another date. 

Sweet. Thanks all
