Chapter 2: Configuring Settings

Configuring all of VIPRE Premium's settings can be done from one location - the Settings dialog box

(File>Settings). Typically, once you make these configurations, you will not need to make them again.

You can make configurations to the following:

Note: These items are covered in greater detail in the sections that follow.

• Updates: You can check for and get updates for VIPRE Premium manually and set automatic

updates to do the same at preset intervals. When VIPRE Premium checks for updates, it looks for

both definitions and software, if available. See

updating VIPRE Premium

o Proxy Settings: If you use a proxy to connect to the Internet, enter the information here. For

most home users, this screen won't apply because a Proxy is generally used in corporate

networks. If you think you may need to use a proxy and do not know how to acquire the

necessary information, you can consult your Internet Service Provider (ISP) or network

administrator to obtain proxy information. See

setting up your proxy settings

o 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. See

about ThreatNet

• Scan options: You can run a simple scan on your computer using the default settings or you can

customize how scans are run on your computer in selecting from options for running a Quick,

Deep System, or Custom scan. See

Scanning for malware.

• 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. See

configuring Active Protection

• Email Protection: VIPRE Premium supports the following email programs: MS Outlook 2000+,

Outlook Express 6.0+, and Windows Mail on Vista. Any POP3/SMTP client is also supported.

See

enabling email protection

• Power: You can set how VIPRE Premium operates when your computer runs under certain

power conditions in order to conserve battery power. See

configuring power save options.

• Firewall: You can configure and manage your firewall settings. See

configuring firewall settings.

The Settings dialog box contains tabs with each tab allowing you to configure the main settings in VIPRE

Premium.

Buttons on the Settings screens are the same for each tab and include the following:

• OK: Click to accept all changes made and close the dialog box.

• Cancel: Click to close the dialog box without retaining any changes.
