VIPRE Enterprise Premium Frequently Asked Questions
+ What are the resources needed on the Server and Agent?
We will typically use about 100-250 Meg of RAM on the Server, but that depends somewhat on the amount of agents managed by that server. Agent memory consumption is typically around 30 to 40 megs with Active Protection enabled. During a deep scan it can get up to 60meg.
+ Does it support Terminal Server and Citrix?
VIPRE Enterprise supports both TS and Citrix environments. It's a simple case of running an agent on these servers and the "sessions" but you still need to run VIPRE agents on the workstations so that they are protected locally. Licensing for TS and Citrix is super simple. You just pay for one agent on that server
+ Does this product scale? Can I support 20,000 or 50,000 users? Can I manage remote sites?
Yes on all three. VIPRE supports SQL Express for storing information. (no full MS-SLQ server license needed) SQL Express easily supports 50,000+ users. You may need to spread this over several servers to balance the load though. The new 'VIPRE Site Service' multi-site tiering model for large-scale deployments enables distribution of IT workload, allowing regional IT staff to manage local incidents through granular role-based access control or multi-site configuration.
+ Can we hide the icon from the end-users? I know the end-users cannot do anything with the icon, but some (as I'm sure most do) will instantly start blaming their age-old computer issues on the newest icon in the tray. Can we hide it?
Yes you can. It is under the Agent tab for the policy and it is set to off by default
+ My users do not have local admin rights, so I'm safe against malware, right?
Local admin rights are not needed to install many types of malware. It certainly helps if users aren't local admins but it's far from 100% effective. A lot of malware gets installed under the radar.
+ How do I cost justify this tool to management?
Easy. It takes an average of 20 minutes to clean up a machine infected by spyware. Take the average hourly cost for an admin, and you can do three manual "disinfections" per hour. Run the eval for a month with the default 'report-only and you'll get an idea of the amount of infections. And those are just *your* hourly wages. Include the lost time of the employee! Apart from all that there is the threat to the security of your company. How much is the cost of an average security breach? The lowest estimate is in the tens of thousands of dollars even for a small business.
+ How do I protect home users, and road warriors with laptops?
You can deploy VIPRE Enterprise Premium agents to your laptop users as long as they will have the ability to communicate back to the VIPRE Enterprise server on occasion. Additionally, VIPRE has a 'client' version that operates stand-alone and has additional active-protection anti-malware safeguards. It uses the same malware risk database as the Enterprise version and updates itself over the Net. You can license these separately. You can find more information about VIPRE Antivirus + Antispyware consumer version on this site.
+ Do I need any scripting at all, to deploy agents or to drive command line interface scanning like some other tools?
None of that is needed. Everything is driven by your 'Malware Command Center' Admin Console. If the VIPRE Server detects that a machine has no agent where one is supposed to be, it will push an agent down to that workstation.
+ Will the VPN we run prevent remote users from infecting my network?
No. Virtual Private Networks (VPN) provide a secure, encrypted tunnel between a remote user and the network through your firewall. If the remote user's machine has malware, the VPN will transmit that code through the firewall directly into your network without detection. VIPRE properly deployed on all the workstations on your network is the only way to ensure detection.
+ How does the pricing work for VIPRE Enterprise Premium?
Volume discounts apply depending on the number of seats you get, and roughly lie between 20 and 36 dollars per seat, based on a simple sliding scale. For more information contact a Sunbelt Sales Representative or your Reseller. Make sure you ask about for the new 2010 Competitive Upgrade 50% discount, which makes VIPRE a no-brainer replacement for your old antivirus bloatware.
+ How do I deploy VPE in my network?
Rolling out agents was never easier. Simply assign machines to a policy and the agents get pushed out via a silent install. As well there is an automatic deployment functionality where machines can be specified by IP address, IP ranges, IP subnet, machine name, and Active Directory OU. Additionally, the agent can be created as both an MSI file and executable, you can also use SMS, login scripts, or even a webpage to download the agent to any workstation.
