VIPRE: Anti-virus for lifetime of your PC - now available in SA

Johannesburg, 01 Apr 2011

Leading sub-Saharan network security expert, AfricaSD, has announced the immediate availability of the GFI VIPRE high-performance anti-virus and endpoint security suite.

A radically new approach to threat protection that uses minimal system resources, the VIPRE suite combines next-generation anti-virus and anti-spyware software with an integrated firewall. Offering protection against all malware threats, including viruses, adware, spyware, worms, rootkits and phishing attacks, VIPRE can scale up to meet the needs of home users, SMEs and large corporate networks.

“We are delighted that sub-Saharan users can now get their hands on this fantastic product, because VIPRE really does live up to the hype,” explains Hennie Moolman, Managing Director of AfricaSD. “It offers an extraordinarily powerful level of real-time protection, clogs up far less system resources than other solutions, and is extremely affordable thanks to the Lifetime Edition licence.”

The Lifetime Edition licence has been enthusiastically welcomed by users because it is a no fuss, affordable way of protecting a PC for its lifetime, with no ongoing subscription charges for either virus definitions or software updates.

Ranked as one of the top performing anti-virus products in the world for malware detection, VIPRE leverages a number of proprietary malware detection methods - including dynamic translation (the fastest method of file emulation), heuristics, behavioural analysis and traditional signature-based methods - to deliver real-time monitoring and protection against known and unknown threats.

VIPRE also overcomes the frustration typically associated with anti-virus solutions of unresponsive, sluggish system performance due to high resource consumption. Some independent testers have reported memory footprints less than 7MB during normal operation, rising to around 40MB when running a scan[1]. VIPRE is able to achieve this because it isn't an extensively retooled, bloated solution that has had layer upon layer of capabilities added over the years.

The VIPRE Enterprise product line not only addresses the problems of bloat and high resource usage, it also tackles the challenges of difficult or poor agent management and deployment. A robust central management console makes it easy to deploy agents using multiple methods, including silent push install (using either WMI or RPC and admin shares), as an MSI file or a self-extracting executable, or auto-deployed through Active Directory or IP ranges and subnets.

Multi-site tiering for large-scale deployments allows regional administrators to manage local incidents with a consolidated data view of all servers throughout the network and multiple physical locations to be controlled at the policy level using granular, role-based access control. Updates happened continuously and automatically, and detailed reports can be scheduled and customised.
