Product release information for VIPRE Advanced Security for Home and VIPRE Antivirus Plus for Home version 11.0.5.314 Hotfix on October 15, 2020.
What's New
Older versions of the Transport Layer Security protocol (TLS 1.0 & TLS 1.1) are not as secure as they once were. As a result, VIPRE is phasing out support on both email and web application connections using anything older than TLS 1.2.
This release includes security and privacy improvements for our Web Filtering (URL Scan) and our Anti-Phishing (Email Protection) features by switching support to TLS 1.2.
Important Note
Please note, Windows 7 and Windows 8 do not have TLS 1.2 enabled by default so our Web Filtering (URL Scan) and Anti-Phishing (Email Protection) features will stop working until TLS 1.2 is enabled. Please see Microsoft's website for directions on how to enable TLS 1.2: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/configmgr/core/plan-design/security/enable-tls-1-2-client. If you have any issues with this process, please reach out to Support here.
