We all know that multiple real-time antivirus products on the same system can cause conflict. It's also possible for a real-time antivirus product to conflict with a real-time antispyware product, so you're safest when a single product handles both tasks. As its name indicates, Sunbelt Software's VIPRE Antivirus + Antispyware 3.1 is designed to handle all kinds of malicious software, and it does a very thorough job. Its pricing is a bit unusual—you can get one license for $29.95, three for $39.95 or unlimited licenses within one household for $49.95. Whichever deal you pick, VIPRE is a very good buy.




Bottom Line:
VIPRE's overall scores are almost as high as those of Spyware Doctor with AntiVirus 6. It detected every malware sample and removed most. It did, however, leave a couple of rootkits running. But it's still more effective than almost all of its competition.

PROS;
Detected every installed malware sample and removed most. Deleted many malware installers on sight, detected remainder during install, blocked most. Certified for virus detection by West Coast Labs.

CONS:
Failed to remove two rootkits. Failed to block installation of two rootkits. Many modified samples evaded its detection.
