The free antivirus software I’ve been using has just recently stopped updates for free versions. Currently, I’m on the hunt for a good antivirus software. With the free antivirus software I was using, my netbook would often slowdown during scheduled scans. One of the software I’m looking at is VIPRE from Sunbelt Software. They offer a free 30-day trial and I can’t wait to try it.

One of the things it boasts of is that it does not slow down one’s computer, just exactly what I want. According to its features, it’s also ideal for netbooks. Another thing that got my interest is the antispyware and malware protection it offers. The main purpose of my netbook is to access the internet and the full protection against email-borne threats that VIPRE offers is appropriate for my needs.

On the expense side, although it’s not exactly more affordable than other antivirus software but it offers unlimited home site license! A home site license costs $49.95, which means all the PCs in a house can use a single site license. There are currently three units in our house so that saves us some money especially since a single user annual subscription costs $29.95.

I’m downloading the free trial now and if it performs as well as it says it does, it’s time to talk to Ramil about purchasing the home site license.
