ive been using this product on 3 computers in our home for about 4 years now and have not had one virus yet. the comp in the living room is the one that guests get to use and it does get get quite a bit of use. its a bit older and this product works fine on it, does not slow it down at all. this is a great product and the only one i will ever use.

Vipre Antivirus 2012 is a disaster for many users, slowing down the computer or even freezing it, and disabling network connections. I reverted to the 4.x version, which had been no problem. However, with the most recent definitions updates this has also become problematic, slowing the computer and disabling network connections upon awakening from the sleep mode. Until GFI software people get around to developing a trouble free and effective program, as it was in the past, you might want to choose another option for virus protection. There are certainly a variety of options available, including prize-winning freeware.
