Set how VIPRE operates when your computer runs under certain power conditions in order to conserve power. Also, set how VIPRE will work on laptops and on all computers when in sleep mode.

To set VIPRE's behavior when your computer is asleep:

  1. Click Manage, then Antivirus
  2. Scroll down to Wake From Sleep
  3. Click OK
     

When you use Microsoft Windows sleep mode and unselect this option, your computer may be at risk of missing important system scans, especially during periods of inactivity. To ensure that your computer is protected, you can run a scan manually or schedule a scan when your computer is not asleep.

 

To set VIPRE to conserve your laptop's battery:

  1. Click Manage, then Antivirus
  2. Select Conserve power when my laptop is running on battery
  3. Click OK

VIPRE will not check for updates or run scheduled scans when your laptop is running on battery power. This does not apply to desktop PCs. This only applies to laptop computers.
