VIPRE Security Group

VIPRE Security Group, Inc.

Vendor

VIPRE has passed through more owners than most products in this index. It began as Sunbelt Software's antivirus in Florida, was acquired with Sunbelt by GFI Software in 2010, moved with GFI's split into the ownership of J2 Global — later Ziff Davis — and was sold again in 2022 to the investment firm Inflexion, since when it has traded as VIPRE Security Group. Several of those former owners are listed separately in this index. Its products are VIPRE Antivirus Plus and VIPRE Advanced Security for households, with VIPRE Ultimate Security as the full bundle, and VIPRE Endpoint Detection & Response and VIPRE Email Security for organisations, sold largely through managed service providers. Its engine has a long and well-populated record in the public test cycles, which is the most useful thing about it for a reader here: whatever the name above the door, the detection has been measured consistently for years.
