It had been more than four months since VIPRE Antivirus software took charge of my PC’s security. By right, I should have more to say since my initial review in May, but that’s not the case here. In fact, I have not interacted with the program since, other than updating the software, and that’s only for once.
These are my test results back then:
- Quick scan – Two risk was detected in the 8 minutes quick scan
- Deep scan — CPU and memory usage did not spike, PC responsiveness unaffected. Total scan time is slightly over 4 hours, with archives scanning on (off by default)
The antivirus is now running on autopilot, scanning for malicious programs everyday exactly as scheduled. And just like from day one, my work flow is not affected by the scans. No slowdown whatsoever. The popup balloon is the only clue I have when a scan is started. That’s exactly how I wanted an antivirus to behave (it drives me nuts seeing people paying dearly for a bloated antivirus).
Win a free copy of VIPRE antivirus
If you’d also like to give VIPRE antivirus a spin, without paying a dime, you have the chance now. On October 8th, a SheepTech reader will walk away with a free copy of VIPRE antivirus worth $29.95, courtesy of GFI.
All you have to do is to submit a comment below, optionally telling us why you want to give VIPRE antivirus a try. Good luck.

I’m not sure if I ever need another AV. Have used Panda, SEP v9-11, F-Secure and two weeks on Trend Micro. With full respect, not one can beat NOD32 v1-5 in term of small memory footprint, coverage of virus prevention, and its default security settings. But with with recent hype of Vipre effectiveness, I’ll would like to have a longterm test of it.

I like to win it because i will use avg,avast,malwarebytes,ad-qware,etc. which are good but now i have to use “vipre” due to its some charectristics like:
1) Easy-to-Use
2)Does Not Slow Down Your PC
and i will use its trial version which is good .so,now i have to use its premium version.
Thanks for this giveaway for the security of our pc.

I have not yet found an AV that has worked for me. A friend sent me to this giveaway because he uses this AV with great success.

Is this contest still available? I hope that it’s not too late for me to win a free license. So here goes my story. I’ve bought a 1 year subscription of Vipre Antivirus Premium last year and my license has already expired two months ago. As far as I can tell, Vipre is probably the best Antivirus I’ve ever used, no kidding man, I’ve used a lot of Antivirus software, and Vipre is the only antivirus I’ve purchased so far. Vipre didn’t slow my computer down, the scans were pretty quick and Vipre catches all the bad stuff found on my computer. I’m currently using Microsoft Security Essentials, and I would love to use Vipre again in future but my financial situation is really bad right now that I can’t even pay my bills, due to the fact that I’m still a student. I would highly recommend Vipre to those who are looking for an antivirus software. Just search for Vipre on google and you will find a lot of good reviews there. I have already tweet this contest and I would be very happy to grab a free license. MSE sucks, though. Thanks in advance.

Why do I want to give VIPRE antivirus a try?? Hmm.. well because i have been using Kasper for over three years and i think at times, i feel that i need to have more robust AV. SO i think VIPRE is definitely a tempting option for me, moreover i will be getting it for free so why not try for it!
