At VIPRE’s core is an antivirus and antispyware engine that merges the detection of all types of malware into a single efficient and powerful system. The new technology was developed exclusively by Sunbelt, without building on older generation antivirus engines.

VIPRE Enterprise uses multiple techniques to inspect the characteristics of all types of potentially threatening files. From simple signature-based detection to dynamic, sophisticated analysis of malware files, VIPRE quickly determines whether a file is good or bad — enabling comprehensive detection of both existing and new unidentified threats.



Designed “by admins for admins”, VIPRE Enterprise has been built from the ground up for real-world enterprise malware remediation. VIPRE Enterprise’s central management console allows you to access and control agent deployment, threat database updates, quarantined malware, configuration, agent policies, scan scheduling, and recommended actions to identified malware threats. The management console provides four customizable dashboards for at-a-glance views of scanning and remediation activities that show overall workstation health.

These configurable dashboards enable you to easily create a customized “Malware Command Center” that gives instant access to your most used reports and policy controls. Deployment throughout your organization is seamless, featuring an intuitive policy-based user interface with multiple methods to deploy transparently.

VIPRE’s Active Protection delivers real time monitoring and protection against known and unknown malware threats. Active Protection works inside the Windows kernel, watching for malware and stopping it before it has a chance to execute on a user’s system. Active Protection incorporates three methods to protect the user:

• Signature matching - comparing a file for an exact match against VIPRE’s definition database
• Heuristic analysis - looks at the internal characteristics of a file to determine the likelihood that it is malware
• Behavioral analysis - observing the actual actions of a program to determine if it is possibly malware

The combination of these three techniques provides an extraordinarily powerful level of real-time protection to the user.

VIPRE’s all-new anti-rootkit technology finds and disables malicious hidden processes, threats, modules, services, files, Alternate Data Streams (ADS), or registry keys on a user’s system. Removing rootkits is supplemented by VIPRE’s FirstScan™, which runs at the system's boot time. FirstScan bypasses the Windows operating system, to directly scan certain locations of the hard drive for malware, removing infections where found.

User surveys show the biggest frustration with existing antimalware solutions is bloat and high resource usage. VIPRE addresses these concerns: Designed with the latest programming and architectural methodologies, it runs seamlessly without significantly impairing system performance. VIPRE is also designed for an unobtrusive user experience, keeping notification pop-ups and warnings to a minimum.

VIPRE includes comprehensive protection against email viruses, with direct support for Outlook, Outlook Express and Windows Mail; and support for any email program that uses POP3 and SMTP (Thunderbird, IncrediMail, Eudora, etc.)

VIPRE Enterprise benefits from multiple sources for its threat definition updates, making it the premier antimalware solution to protect your end users and networks from malware. Updated daily, the threat definition database includes a rapidly growing library of hundreds of thousands of threat signatures. These multiple sources for the new definitions include:

• Sunbelt Malware Research Labs - Researchers from Sunbelt’s Malware Research Labs actively analyze new viruses, spyware and malware outbreaks, creating and testing new threat definitions on a constant basis.
• ThreatNet - ThreatNet is Sunbelt’s user community of hundreds of thousands of VIPRE Antivirus + Antispyware users that opt-in to anonymously send new information about possible spyware and malware to the Malware Research Labs.
• Sunbelt CWSandbox - Sunbelt CWSandbox leverages unique technology for the automatic behavior analysis of malware. CWSandbox collects information automatically from different inputs and provides fast and autonomous analysis of large volumes of malware samples to populate the database with new malware threats.

The VIPRE agent is based on the same technology as VIPRE Antivirus + Antispyware for consumers. VIPRE Enterprise utilizes a high speed threat scanning engine that can scan large volumes of information for malware threats in a short period of time with limited performance impact on the end user's machine. The agent scanning engine automatically scans your users’ systems for malware threats. With its agent user interface, users can stop and start scans and manage their own quarantine.

VIPRE Enterprise supports multiple methods of agent deployment to allow you flexibility in how agents are pushed to your users’ systems. Within the Admin Console, an agent deployment wizard helps you select a deployment option and assists you with your deployment configuration.

Agents can be deployed using silent push install (using either WMI or RPC and admin shares), as an MSI file or a self-extracting executable. Additionally, you can create policies based on organizational units (OU) and VIPRE Enterprise will automatically deploy agents to any users or machines added to that OU. VIPRE Enterprise will use the policy settings you defined in the console when deploying the agents based on your OUs. Automatic deployment can also be done using IP ranges and machine lists.



VIPRE Enterprise has sophisticated policy creation and management functionality that gives you the flexibility to control scheduling of quick scans and deep scans, set scan options (including scanning of known locations, whether to scan cookies, and whether to scan running processes), and allow specific threats from the database.

Additionally you can set up policies for remote workers and where they download updates from the internet, as well as configure different settings for each user based on skill level (i.e. access to end user UI, abort scan etc.)

VIPRE Enterprise’s reporting features make it easy for administrators to schedule and customize its library of reports. A report scheduler allows you to easily schedule any report to run at a designated time with the ability to email reports to specified users; simplifying report distribution to management. Additionally, a custom report editor enables you to modify existing reports or create your own report to display an infinite combination of agent information available from within VIPRE Enterprise.
