On the GFI / Vipre front. I see Maxfocus (was GFIMax) is going away from Vipre and will be using a BitDefender engine http://status.maxfocus.com/2015/07/13/coming-soon-max-rm-v6-1-a-new-mav-engine-powered-by-bitdefender-2/
Heck I remember when Vipre was called Counterspy, then Counterspy Enterprise… From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Kurt Buff Sent: Friday, August 21, 2015 7:33 AM To: ntsysadm <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [NTSysADM] John McAfee comments on McAfee AV Support staff and all that seem to be the same. There's supposed to be a new version coming out at the end of the month-ish, and in the Business Premium version it's supposed to upgrade their 3rd-party patching tool (only available as part of Business Premium) to keep better track of security patches, rather than merely being a tool to push out current major revs. Kurt On Fri, Aug 21, 2015 at 7:10 AM, Erik Goldoff <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: thanks, I was unaware of this latest handoff :( On Fri, Aug 21, 2015 at 9:01 AM, Kurt Buff <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: VIPRE was acquired by GFI, and it's now been spun off as https://threattracksecurity.com Kurt On Fri, Aug 21, 2015 at 6:57 AM, Erik Goldoff <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Is GFI Endpoint Security what became of Vipre ?

He claims it deteriorated rapidly after he sold it. Likewise for the company that founded the original NTSysAdmin forum. They developed a state-of-the-art AV product and were constantly introducing new technology while keeping the footprint small. They sold it to another company noted for its excellent consumer report (and told its customers). That company then sold it to another company (NOT notifying its customers). We learned when we called support and heard all kinds of new rules, hoops to jump through, and above all no more free 24 hr support. Just what an enterprise product needs, right? What is left of the program doesn’t stop squat. Getting it off is like getting rid of a deep tissue mycosis. MORAL: If you learn your product is no longer owned by the folks who developed, think like a rat on a sinking ship!
