Product release information for Privacy Shield version 3.7.5, released on 2024 July 29.
What's New

VIPRE Recommends
It's critical to keep all software in your environment as up-to-date as possible. New software releases often fix issues with older product versions that, unless addressed, could leave you vulnerable. As such, VIPRE recommends updating to the most recent version as soon as possible.
You can check the current status of older product versions on the VIPRE Product Lifecycle Matrix to learn when support for specific product versions may end.
