Hi David,
Nope. They're running the LocalSystem account. They'll be running fine one day, and then I'll check and see I have no Vipre icon in my tray, so I'll check other users and find the same thing. Then I'll go to the Vipre server and find that the service is not running. When it asks me if I want to do a remote start and I say yes, it lists all of the clients as Inactive, and I have to select them, right click, and choose to "Start Agent".... Kinda frustrating.

That's the situation I have at home where Vipre doesn't start with the machine even though I have it to delayed start and "restart the service" set at the 3 actions. I find if I manually start the service after the machine has been up for 5-10 minutes (It's also a DHCP/DNS/DC...but for a whopping 2 systems) it starts fine. My clients with Vipre service use the LocalSystem account and no issues. Related? Dunno.

I agree, Steve. I can't keep Vipre running, either. Half the time I look, it's not on any of the clients it should be, and then when I look at the server, the service hasn't been running for who knows how long. I know I should check it every day or hour or something, but in a small company with very limited staff (staff = me,) there isn't the time to babysit it. We're looking to move to either Symantec or go back to Trend next year. Evan From: Steve Kelsay [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, February 24, 2010 4:43 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: VIPRE versus Trend I wish I could be more optimistic, but We are using the Vipre Enterprise. It does an excellent job of protecting us, when I can keep it running. It seems like it just is not ready for primetime. Sunbelt had their top tech go through our entire network setup during a recent Konficker attack, and it is still not really stable. I can look at the console and believe it is running wonderfully, until scans start without any identifiable cause, effectively shutting down servers with 100% Cpu usage, but that scan never shows up on the remote console, although the machines are sending last contact info, and last scan info, the off time scans never show up. I lobbied hard to get Vipre, and really want it to succeed, but it is not looking good at this time. A deep scan starts on many machines as soon as anyone logs onto the machine, and that will also peg the CPU meter. No reason we can tell for this to happen.

Right now we're considering Trend Micro OfficeScan Enterprise and the VIPRE Enterprise products. Anyone here (aside from Sunbelt employees) have any experience with both of the current or relatively current iterations of the products? Can you provide any reasons to choose one over the other, aside from price? Thanks in advance, Jonathan L.
