A Little Vipre History, Pricing, and Set Up
You may be surprised to learn that Vipre has been around for more than 25 years. Originally published by Sunbelt Software, its name stood for Virus Intrusion Protection Remediation Engine. Over the years, the product was bought by GFI and then spun off as a separate company called ThreatTrack. You can still see this history in some of the product s web pages. For example, if you click a malware notification popup for more information, you come to a page with sunbeltsecurity in the URL and several references to ThreatTrack on the page. More recently, J2 Global, owner of PCMag’s publisher Ziff Davis, acquired Vipre.
