Sorry Alex, but it's happening with the latest Vipre version. My CEO ran afoul of this - I called in to Support this morning and had it "fixed" in short order. The work-around works nicely. Now to run that work-around on all my machines with Embassy. :<

A >major pain as most laptops are remote. This is not an issue with the latest version of the VIPRE agent. As background, the Embassy Trust Suite (used by Dell for their biometric stuff) forces one of their DLLs to be loaded into ALL running processes (including the VIPRE service). It is a rather "interesting" application from that standpoint. Anyway, we developed a workaround to deal with its behavior. This fix is in the VIPRE agent version 3.1.2416, so you do not have to uninstall Embassy to work with VIPRE. Alex Eckelberry, CEO Sunbelt Software, Inc. 33 N.

We are a Dell shop and I just found out if you have Embassy Trust Suite loaded, it has to be uninstalled for Vipre to run a scan. A major pain as most laptops are remote. Other than that my demo has gone well so far. -----Original Message----- From: David Lum [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: November-20-08 12:19 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: VIPRE - I like it My smaller clients I switched from Trend to Vipre, my bigger clients (and my 9-5 job with 300 employees / McAfee) I'm waiting for Vipre to be a bit more mature. Personally I acually have had very very few issues with Trend over the years, but the price difference for the smaller clients was the tipping point.

Thats the plan anyway, Trend has got to go, their support is useless. I have two major problems with it and they are not able to help, other then have me send in files and respond to emails endlessly and then resend them all again. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kurt Buff" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "NT System Admin Issues" <ntsysadmin@lyris.sunbelt-software.com> Sent: Thursday, November 20, 2008 1:01 AM Subject: VIPRE - I like it > Stu, Alex, et al, > > We've cobbled together a brute force script that is ripping out McAfee > for us, and it's working fairly well. > > I just wanted to say, publicly, that I'm so far, after rolling out > VIPRE to approximately 90 workstations out of our nearly 400, very > pleased with how it's working.
