Overview
Vipre Antivirus Plus is a consumer antivirus application for Windows computers. It provides real-time protection and on-demand scanning for common malware categories, including viruses, spyware and ransomware.
VIPRE distributes Antivirus Plus separately from Advanced Security, which adds capabilities such as firewall controls, phishing and spam protection, and third-party patching. Antivirus Plus is therefore suited to users seeking core Windows malware protection rather than a broader security suite.
