How many PC's are you or did you upgrade?

I'm sure I will end up calling them.  It's always the same:  they look at my 
config, it's correct, yet we have too many PCs that either fail to upgrade or 
don't fully upgrade, leaving the PCs in an unprotected state.

It's not PC-specific, just an issue I've seen on recent Vipre upgrades.

Part of it might be the smaller MSI, but that's an issue where you have your 
console server at HQ and your remote PCs are at remote locations.  I wish there 
were a mechanism where I could run and install *with* current updates from a 
USB, for example.

I really like Vipre but major rev upgrades are a pain.

Vipre has the tools to do agent installs, either from a fresh start or for 
upgrades.  If it’s not working right, why not call their support as soon as the 
problem occurs.  Our experience has been that their support bends over 
backwards to resolve the issues.
Another way to look at it is, if the same PCs that had a problem with a 
previous upgrade had it again, maybe it’s not Vipre, maybe it’s a problem with 
the PCs

Yes, and I might be calling.  I think these are PCs that had a problem with the 
upgrade from 4 to 5.  I see it every time:  agent uninstalls as part of the 
update, but for some reason a small percentage never finish.  Hence I dread 
major Vipre releases.

I have a script that I push via GPO to force an install, so I better get that 
updated.

Thanks and at least it's just me.

I’m on that version and having no problems whatsoever, including with 
workstations getting updated to it.
Do you have a call in to GFI’s support line?

Hi Folks,

For you Vipre users, any of you having issues over the last few days with Vipre 
not catching viruses?  We've had at least a dozen PCs we had to re-image over 
the last week.  The vipre console indicates the agent is shut down, and it 
won't start.

This wasn't a problem for us until we went to agent 5.0.4464, and as usual, a 
bunch of PC were left without protection because the install removed the old 
product, never installed the new product.  Just wondering if this version is 
problematic.

Tom
