Interesting, I have been a longtime Email Archiver user first with you and 
continuing on with GFI.  We go back to 2007 or 8.  So far that product has 
survived the transition very well.   Good updates and good support.

Maybe that team survived the transition.

Subject: RE: [NTSysADM] Vipre


As the former CEO of Sunbelt Software (now ThreatTrack Security) and the person 
originally responsible for VIPRE and all of the other Sunbelt Software products 
(with Stu Sjouwerman having started the distribution side of Sunbelt), I can 
only apologize for what has happened to the product. I have had many friends 
(and family members) with similar stories.  It is painful.



I left 4 years ago. The original team and malware lab at ThreatTrack is 
essentially gone.



VIPRE is now reportedly using the BitDefender engine.



Most of the original VIPRE team is now at Malwarebytes.  A few people are at 
KnowBe4 (Stu's new company).



I am now on the board of Malwarebytes and personally use and recommend their 
product, which is moving to a full enterprise endpoint solution. I'm also on 
the board of Knowbe4.



Both Knowbe4 and Malwarebytes have the original spirit of Sunbelt, of which we 
were so proud of.



Perhaps one day I'll tell the full story.



So yeah, I'm bummed to hear this as well.

We switched from VIPRE to Bitdefender about 1.5 years ago. Much better 
experience!

I used to, but I have seen this allow a few things through that it really 
shouldn’t have done.

We are back on SEPM here, works just fine. The device and access control is an 
added bonus too.

That's sad.

We migrated from them to ESET a few months ago. ESET functions fine, but man in 
their console not intuitive - way more complex and difficult to navigate than 
VIPRE.
