John:

I switched to Microsoft Security Essentials.  Seems to work OK.  But I have
no way of knowing because I almost never get viruses. Just clean livin' I
guess.  I switched from AVG.

Anything to recommend Vipre over MSE?  

Rocky

Hi Tina,
I don't think your original version will install on Windows 7. I haven't run
into this because I download the latest version each time the release one so
I'm starting without the need for program updates.
Vipre:

Vipre Premium:

CounterSpy:

I also manually download the latest definitions every day or two so that I
don't have wait for the full definition to download for each install I do.
But I do this multiple times a week so you may not need to do that.

FWIW I don't order the CDs for very much anymore. They're usually out of
date when you need them. I just make sure I have a copy of my license rights
stored where I can find it.

HTH

Hey John,

I just tried installing Vipre on my new Windows 7 computer and Windows
balked.  It said "Driver blocked" and "Counterspy is incompatible with this
version of Windows" and told me to contact Sunbelt about the issue.

Last week I downloaded Vipre for another Windows 7 computer and installed it
with no problem. 

The installation I tried to do today begins with my original Vipre setup
program, from a couple of years ago.  The one I did last week was a fresh
download.  Does that explain the issue?  I'd like your guidance on this. 

Thanks,
T
