Do note, however, that the business version does have some features not found in the home version, so there is a bit of a give and take.
The 10-computer option is good value if you’re running a small business, especially given the business version of the software is $96 per year per computer for 5 to 249 computers. You can cover up to 10 PCs or Macs, and pre-pay for up to 4 years. You also can choose to cover more computers for a slightly higher, but heavily subscription fee, or cover your computer(s) for multiple years (which also comes with a discount). The cost to protect one computer with VIPRE Advanced Security for Home is $19.99 for the first year and $54.99 each consecutive year you choose to use the service. The company now includes all features as part of the package. The price is indicated as a yearly subscription fee.Īlthough VIPRE pushed additional products and services at sign-up in the past, as of 2019, this is no longer true. VIPRE Security clearly explains what you’re paying for when you purchase VIPRE antivirus.
VIPRE Security is also very transparent throughout the purchasing and sign-up process, minimizing as many roadblocks as possible to buying the program (or getting the free trial) and installing the software. In fact, you can sign up without auto-renewal selected at all, and VIPRE shows its auto-renewal option clearly to avoid any confusion. Most importantly, VIPRE does not force you to auto-renew.
Sign-upĮxperience tells us that you can measure a software company by its signup and installation process. VIPRE also had no false positives in Virus Bulletin’s August 2019 test. Virus Bulletin found VIPRE detected 100% of its own list of test malware, and over 99 percent when testing across other lists of malware.
