What VIPRE looks like, and how it downloads data the first time you launch it.

Automatic Threat Definitions Download

The first time VIPRE starts, it will download and install Threat Definitions to protect you from the latest threats. This process is automatic and usually takes a minute or two, depending on your connection speed.

After this first download, VIPRE will download and update Threat Definitions as needed. This happens a few times per hour in the background.

When VIPRE is done updating, it will display "PROTECTED" and turn green. You're now ready to run your first scan and start using VIPRE!
