Antivirus Premium User Guide 6 http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/support

Premium is able to detect many types of malware without the necessity of creating a constant stream

of dedicated unpackers and signatures for each variant of a piece of malware.

Active Protection

Active Protection (AP) is a real-time method for detecting malware. AP sits quietly in the

background as you work or browse the Internet, constantly monitoring files that are executed (run)

without causing noticeable strain to your system.

Email protection

Email Protection is a behind-the-scenes tool that protects your computer from potentially harmful

inbound and outbound email messages. As long as you have email protection enabled, your computer

is protected with automatic email scanning of all attachments for malware and viruses without you

having to do anything. When an infected email attachment is detected, VIPRE Premium will attempt

to clean it, ridding the attachment of its infection. If the infection is so severe that it cannot be cleaned,

the entire attachment is quarantined. VIPRE Premium notifies you of detections and any actions that

may be required by you.

FirstScan

FirstScan is a cleaner that runs at boot time (when your computer is booting up/turning on). This

proprietary technology bypasses the Windows operating system to remove malicious hidden

processes, threats, modules, services, files, Alternate Data Streams (ADS), rootkits, and registry keys

on your computer. FirstScan does not run every time you start your computer; instead, it is only

triggered by a locked malware file during the cleaning after a scan.

ThreatNet

ThreatNet™ is a worldwide network of thousands of CounterSpy

, VIPRE Antivirus, and VIPRE

Antivirus Premium users sharing and identifying potentially dangerous program files (both through

manual submissions and automatically), resulting in the blocking of new malware almost as quickly as

it is released into the wild. ThreatNet also enables Sunbelt Software to track new outbreaks and

compile statistical information.

VIPRE Premium Firewall

The VIPRE Firewall provides bi-directional protection, protecting you from both incoming and

outgoing traffic. It can be run in either "Simple" or "Learning" modes. See

About the Firewall for

more information.
