EXPLAINED: Vipre antivirus review - The Real Truth

Vipre.

There is a chance that you did not hear about Vipre Antivirus despite it being around since 2013 and the original company behind it having its start in 1994. AV Comparatives, in their independent virus detection tests, claim that Vipre detects 96.8% of threats, which is more than enough for you to take a look at Vipre. This, coupled with a solid real-time protection functionality, covers the basics quite well. However, if you’re expecting more from a security suit, then Vipre can disappoint. Sure, it does offer more functionality on higher tiered plans, but if you’re looking to get the “best bang for your buck,” then competitors like Norton are a much better choice.

With higher tier plans, you get access to a range of advanced security tools that go beyond basic antivirus protection. However, it's worth noting that most of these extras are only available for Windows users. For starters, the firewall helps block unauthorized network connections, adding an extra layer of defense against hackers. There’s also a browsing track cleaner that clears your online history to keep your activity private. For those worried about snooping, the webcam and microphone blocker ensures no one can secretly tap into your devices.
