VIPRE Advanced Security
by ThreatTrack Security Inc.
Overview
VIPRE Advanced Security is a software program developed by ThreatTrack Security. During setup, the program creates a startup registration point in Windows in order to automatically start when any user boots the PC. Upon being installed, the software adds a Windows Service which is designed to run continuously in the background. Manually stopping the service has been seen to cause the program to stop functing properly. It adds a background controller service that is set to automatically run. Delaying the start of this service is possible through the service manager. When installed, it will add a context menu handler to the Windows shell in order to provide quick access to the program. The primary executable is named vipreui.exe. The setup package generally installs about 54 files and is usually about 222.02 MB (232,804,776 bytes). Relative to the overall usage of users who have this installed on their PCs, most are running Windows 10 and Windows 7 (SP1). While about 92% of users of VIPRE Advanced Security come from the United States, it is also popular in Australia and BG.
