VIPRE Antivirus 2012

Approach of GFI company to development of the corporate anti-virus products definitely deserves attention – developers took old feature set, brought it to perfection and made the simplest in use. The convenience of work begins with installation process – from the user no more than two-three mouse clicks will be required, reset is not required, and parameter values by default provide reliable protection right after installation and start.

The graphical interface of packets VIPRE Antivirus/Internet Security 2012 became much more convenient too. All data really important for the user – the status of protection, time of the last and forthcoming scanning, date of termination of a subscription and others – are displayed in a primary window where it is possible to start one mouse click new scanning or to load the updated signatures of viruses compulsorily.

As developers emphasize, products of the VIPRE Antivirus/Internet Security series, first of all, represent the minimum set of necessary and obligatory instruments of protection. To provide such minimalism, developers refused functions of backup in online storage, functions of parent control and start of potentially dangerous files in the isolated "sandbox". Nevertheless, in packets of VIPRE Antivirus and Internet Security 2012 there are several additional functions. For example, function of safe destruction of files helps to exclude recovery of confidential data after erasing, and the command of destruction of history deletes all chronological data on work of the user with the Windows operating system and also with browsers and other applications. One more module under the name PC Explorer displays low-level data on the machine which will help with diagnostics of virus epidemics: the list of the loaded ActiveX elements, automatically loaded applications, support entities of Internet Explorer, change in the HOSTS file, etc.

The main advantage of the new products GFI should be considered their compact sizes and the minimum consumption of computing resources. Even during the scanning of systems and an output of the main interface in a system no more than three processes which seldom consume more than 10% of resources of the processor work and occupy no more than 50 MB of RAM (in standby mode consumption of memory decreases to 5-6 MB).
