The Vipre brand has been developed exclusively by Sunbelt Software.

Sunbelt Software was founded in 1994 and is a provider of endpoint and server-based security software for the home user, enterprise and OEM markets. The company protects millions of users worldwide against the rapidly evolving threat landscape.

Sunbelt Security develops and employs advanced technology solutions for endpoint anti-malware security, email security, data retention, and malware analysis tools. It also provides comprehensive protection for key parts of the network topology, including workstations, servers, gateway, and web proxies.

Headquartered in Tampa Bay, Florida, with additional operations in the UK and Philippines, and employing some 200 people, Sunbelt has developed an award-winning range of products which have consistently  been recognized for excellence from the public and press, including awards from Network Computing, CNET's Download.com, PC World, PC Magazine, SC Magazine, Laptop Computing, Redmond Magazine, Information Security Magazine, and Windows IT Pro.

The company say that the rapid adoption of the company's flagship anti-malware product, VIPRE, has been instrumental in its overall continued expansion, achieving consistent year-over-year growth for the past 12 years. Sunbelt made the Inc. 500 in 2001 and recently made the Inc. 5000 list (acknowledged to include some of the fastest growing private companies in the United States) three years in a row.

Sunbelt claim that nowadays, traditional viruses make up only about 4% 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. Sunbelt, as a technology pioneer in spyware and malware protection, Sunbelt released its first antispyware product, Counterspy, in 2004.

And the problem is, say Sunbelt, that instead of building better, more efficient code, many companies within the computer security sector have added layer upon layer of basically unnecessary features, and the result is bloatware that significantly impacts system performance.

Rather than falling into the same trap, Sunbelt has translated its years of experience in researching, detecting, and remediating sophisticated malware into its next-generation of anti-malware technology, Vipre. Starting with a blank slate, Vipre was developed exclusively by Sunbelt, without building on older generation antivirus engines. And the result, say Sunbelt, is a fast, efficient and powerful technology in a unique, proprietary anti-malware 'engine' that protects against all attack vectors with low impact on system resources and performance.

So try out Vipre Antivirus Premium and see if they are right.
