Product release information for VIPRE Advanced Security version 11.0.6, initially launched on July 15 and continuing through August 2021.

What's New

This latest release of VIPRE Advanced Security includes a substantial upgrade of our Active Protection allowing for increased protection and performance. We've also enhanced product hardening in order to improve service protection, adding registry keys, and file protection.

Gaming Mode

Finally, we've added an exciting new feature called Gaming Mode that prevents VIPRE from running any resource-intensive background activity, such as file scans, patch scans, or update operations. That way, video games. or any other resource-heavy application, you may be using can use as many resources as necessary to provide an optimal experience.
