In early reviews, geeks raved about Windows 7. But if you're an ordinary mortal, learning what this new system is all about will be challenging. Fear not: David Pogue's Windows 7: The Missing Manual comes to the rescue. Like its predecessors, this book illuminates its subject with reader-friendly insight, plenty of wit, and hardnosed objectivity for beginners as well as veteran PC users.

Windows 7 fixes many of Vista's most painful shortcomings. It's speedier, has fewer intrusive and nagging screens, and is more compatible with peripherals. Plus, Windows 7 introduces a slew of new features, including better organization tools, easier WiFi connections and home networking setup, and even touchscreen computing for those lucky enough to own the latest hardware.

With this book, you'll learn how to:

* Navigate the desktop, including the fast and powerful search function
* Take advantage of Window's apps and gadgets, and tap into 40 free programs
* Breeze the Web with Internet Explorer 8, and learn the email, chat, and videoconferencing programs
* Record TV and radio, display photos, play music, and record any of these to DVD using the Media Center
* Use your printer, fax, laptop, tablet PC, or smartphone with Windows 7
* Beef up your system and back up your files
* Collaborate and share documents and other files by setting up a workgroup network

Vipre AntiVirus Premium keycode only has been released

What Is VIPRE Antivirus Premium?

Kiss Your Antivirus Bloatware Goodbye!

Is your antivirus software slowing down your PC? Ditch that old antivirus software and replace it with VIPRE: high-performance, next-generation antivirus + antispyware with an integrated firewall. VIPRE gives you powerful protection
against today's highly complex threats, and IS NOT a resource hog.



Compare VIPRE Antivirus and Premium
Compare VIPRE Antivirus and
VIPRE Antivirus Premium
What's New In The Premium version?
We have kept all the strong points of VIPRE antivirus + antispyware and we added a leading edge, super low-overhead 2-way firewall that supports all Windows flavors and works both on 32- and 64-bit Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7. It's so small you won't notice it is running. To make sure your PC is fully protected, we also added Intrusion Prevention, malicious link filtering and much more. This is all you need for your PC Internet Security, and with that you deserve better tech support.

VIPRE Is Antivirus Certified
The movies have their Oscars. Cars have the JD Power Awards. Antivirus products have their so-called 'VB100' Certification, awarded by the world's premier virus certification lab: Virus Bulletin. Only products that catch all the viruses they test for are getting the prestigious VB100 award. VIPRE is VB100 certified and confirmed to give you world-class quality in detecting and removing malware. VIPRE is also West Coast Labs Checkmark Anti-Virus Desktop certified, and continues to get additional certifications through other certifying bodies.

Virus Bulletin said in their VIPRE review (tested on Windows 7): "The WildList proved no obstacle despite the set of tricky Virut samples, and with no false positives either VIPRE earns a VB100 on its first appearance; we hope to see many more."

The Press Loves It
ZDNet said in their security blog about the VIPRE Antivirus + Antispyware (the one without firewall): "Sunbelt Software's VIPRE - I've finally found an antivirus package that delivers the goods. In a follow-up posting they did a performance shoot-out and concluded: "Sunbelt Software's claim that VIPRE doesn't hog system resources and doesn't slow down a PC isn't just marketing hyperbole but is actually true."

VIPRE Is The 'Porsche' Of Antivirus
A few words about our "best-of-breed" focus. We at Sunbelt are fanatics about performance. VIPRE Antivirus Premium combines antivirus, antispyware, a leading-edge 2-way firewall, anti-rootkit, and other advanced security technologies into a small, seamless, tightly-integrated product. You can see VIPRE as the "Porsche" of antivirus, it's got "everything you need, nothing you don't." We don't bog down your system with a lot of additional tools which may slow down your PC. Building VIPRE, we focused on the core functionality to provide you with the the best possible user experience. VIPRE has 96% customer satisfaction, our tech support is right here in the U.S., and VIPRE has the lowest surveyed customer infection rate of any AV vendor.

How much of your PC is being hijacked by antivirus bloatware ?
Over time, instead of writing new and better software, old-style antivirus companies have stacked layer upon layer of security engines on top of each other, (one for viruses, a second for spyware, a third engine for rootkits, a fourth for malicious web links and so on) and created bloatware in the process. They slow down your PC, have slow scan times and cause performance problems.

Why are hardware vendors pre-installing antivirus bloatware on your new PC, Laptop and Netbook?
Have you ever asked yourself why your PC or Laptop vendor would slow down their new machines on purpose by pre-installing software that can hijack up to 20% of your new PC's resources? Here is the dirty little secret of the industry: The big antivirus companies pay hardware vendors 7 or 8 bucks for every machine they pre-install antivirus bloatware on, hoping you will renew their software after the first few months free. It's time to uninstall those resource hogs and get VIPRE instead. It's simply a better product at a lower price. And you'll love your faster PC.

Thought you could rely on the free Windows firewall? Nope.
Unfortunately, the Windows firewall gives you a false sense of security. It only protects incoming traffic, and by default allows all outgoing traffic. That means outgoing browser traffic, which could contain your credit card info, social security number, bank accounts, passwords and other confidential information is not protected. The Windows firewall will let it all go out (in XP, Vista, and Windows7).

VIPRE: Weapons-grade 2-way Firewall Comes With Rottweiler
With the VIPRE Antivirus Premium version you get a 2-way desktop firewall, and additional, more advanced intrusion protection. See it like this. The firewall is like having all your doors and windows upgraded and equipped with new state-of-the art locks. But a burglar could throw a brick through the back window and wreak havoc inside. That's why people have burglar alarms, often with motion detectors. VIPRE's firewall is like your PC's new strong doors, windows and locks. But Internet traffic does need to get through, because you want to browse the web. So that is why VIPRE's advanced intrusion protection is there as a super burglar alarm that has the added benefit that it can stop an attacker in their tracks. Think 'Rottweiler in the house'. And if you just want a firewall and not worry about anything else, all you need to do is keep the firewall enabled in the default 'Simple Mode'.

Web Filtering Technologies:
VIPRE Antivirus Premium will look at all the web traffic that comes in and filters it for security. There are several features that protect you:
  • Ad blocking - Block malicious or third-party advertisements
  • Bad URL blocking – Bad website blocking
  • Anti-phishing - Blocks access to known phishing websites
  • Boot time firewall – To prevent malware from executing, the Boot Time feature limits access on your PC to only certain resources upon loading.

    Check out VIPRE against the competition
    Cutting-edge Proactive Protection
    Sunbelt's advanced security technology is famous for being in the front lines in the battle against new and unknown malware, known as 'zero-day threats'.

  • IMPROVED - VIPRE's Active Protection™ delivers real time monitoring and protection against known and unknown malware threats. Active Protection works inside the Windows kernel (the core of the operating system), watching for malware and stopping it before it has a chance to execute on your system. (Other anti-malware products allow the malware to run on your computer to try and watch for bad behavior which is less safe).
  • IMPROVED - MX-Virtualization™ analyzes malware in real-time, in a secured memory "lock box" that emulates Windows. MX-V fools the malware into thinking it has taken over your PC. MX-V allows VIPRE to observe how the malware behaves and kill it before it can harm your PC. MX-V technology is the safest way to protect against zero-day threats.
  • IMPROVED - VIPRE's Genscan™ and Cobra™ technologies are super efficient to determine if something is malware.

    Full Protection Against Email-borne Threats
    VIPRE includes comprehensive protection against email viruses, with direct support for Outlook, Outlook Express and Windows Mail; and support for any email program that uses POP3 and SMTP. Microsoft Security Esssentials does not have this feature. And email is very often how malware comes in. You get what you pay for.
