VIPRE Business Antivirus (Premium) combines antivirus, antispyware, and desktop firewall into a seamless, tightly-integrated security product. Utilizing next-generation technology, VIPRE provides high-performance software that doesn't slow down your PC, is low on system resources, and protects you from the bad guys. At VIPRE’s core is a threat engine that merges the detection of all types of malware into a single, efficient, and powerful system.
A different approach to malware protection
Today, traditional viruses make up only about four percent of the total current malware universe - and are relatively easy to detect and remove. Protecting against the new wave of malware that has emerged over the last five years requires a fundamental shift in how technology is engineered to stay one step ahead of organized cyber criminals. Given the need for increased threat protection, many vendors have responded by retooling their existing antivirus products and adding new layers of antivirus capabilities, rather than building better, more efficient core code. The resulting solutions tend to be bloatware that dramatically impact system performance.
GFI’s approach is different. We’ve translated our years of experience in researching, detecting, and remediating sophisticated malware into the next-generation endpoint protection technology, VIPRE -- without building on older generation antivirus engines or other sourced technology components. VIPRE Antivirus Business is fast, efficient technology in a single, powerful threat engine with low impact on system resources.

FAQs
1. What’s special about the firewall in VIPRE Business Antivirus Premium?
Sunbelt took the core of Sunbelt Personal Firewall 4.6 and re-wrote it with full 64-bit compatibility and complete support for Windows 7, and plugged that into VIPRE. VIPRE was written to be easily expandable with additional features, and the Firewall essentially acts as a plug-in module that is fully compatible within the entire VIPRE architecture. All still with an extremely small footprint. No Bloatware Here!
