I had no qualms about giving this anti spyware blocker a full score in terms of its detection rate because it is able to catch the latest rogue spyware and other forms of malware which has hit the online community. It is also reported to have one of the fastest scanning times compared to other spyware blockers. According to the CNET Lab’s Window XP performance test, VIPRE was the fastest in terms of boot speed at a time of 28.73 seconds.

Impact on system (5/5)

VIPRE Antivirus + Antispyware again scored a top score when it came to impact on the computer system.

The VIPRE spyware blocker installation only took a minute or two and you do not have to reboot your computer like you would have to do in many other anti spyware blocker applications. You can also go through a default wizard which asks you about your computer system. This is important because it then allows VIPRE Antivirus + Antispyware to be optimized for your computer system and your personal preference.

Support (5/5)

Support-wise, Sunbelt Software has been excellent again in providing a wide range of support options for its users. The contextual help documentations which come with the spyware blocker is very useful and well-detailed. You will also find a list of online support websites, email addresses and a toll-free telephone support for your use.

Summary (20/20)

We liked this spyware blocker application so much that it was worthy of a full 20/20. One disadvantage of this product is that there is no firewall option available but Sunbelt Software has announced that future release of VIPRE Antivirus + Antispyware will probably include a firewall option.
