I have it installed on a 150+ network. We were using C/spy so when Vipre came
out, we switched to it from TrendMicro. With the newer versions, it does have
a much lower impact. (However, deep scan can slow a pc down significantly so I
only run it late at night.)
I have had two issues though one of which has not been resolved (and I opened
it up in Februrary). One involved desktop scanning where our Admit clerks scan
a document into our hospital's information system (Meditech). I had to turn off
Act Pro when opening files because the latency introduced was unacceptable.
The other issue, which I understand is to be fixed with hotfix 5, was a d/l
from one server to a pc which is then uploaded. It really slowed down when Act
Pro was running.
We've had it for about a year and, honestly, I've had to defend my push to
Vipre more than I'd like. We have had a few pc's get badly infected by malware
which, I think, should have been caught by Vipre. OTOH, since we had no other
a/v, a/s installed on other pc's, it's hard to say whether a different product
could've handled it better.

I know this is a sunbelt list but I would like to hear some opinions of VIPRE
and how you compare it against other AV, anitmalware products. I currently use
TrendMicro and have no issues with it. It has caught most virus' that come
through and missed a few. I know VIPRE is cheaper and uses little processing
power when it runs. What i am trying to figure out is any downside to moving
over to it. I know when i used counterspy when it first came out we used to
run into problems where it would quarantine files it shouldn't have like
windows associated dll's or something like it. Has this changed? we sometime
deal with some development software and i don't want to get a bunch of calls if
the software is too aggressive after an
update.
Hope that make sense. I appreciate any input you may have.
Regards,
David
