Sunbelt offering a lifetime of Vipre antivirus for $99

Sunbelt's Vipre might not be as well known as Norton or McAfee, but it's definitely a solid choice in desktop malware and virus protection.
Now, thanks to the fine people at HSN who also bring you products like Tony Little fitness gear and Carol Alt's line of cosmetics you can score Vipre's protection until you're stone dead for a mere $99.90. Plus $6.95 shipping and handling, of course.
For added craziness, you can even cover the tab in three equal installments of $33.30.
Let's put this into perspective: a three-year sub for Norton Internet Security will run you $164.99. At that price, you'd be able to buy Vipre for this entire lifetime and 65% of any additional existence you luck into afterward. That's pretty sweet. A little new age, perhaps, but still an excellent deal.

This is the future of pc protection. Vipre uses virtualization to detect and predict viral 'patterns' within files. This, paired with cloud protection should increase the reliability and potency of all serious AV products, while driving down the price since theoretically there will be less R&D as well as programmers to pay.

I'm trying to find out whether this $99 lifetime license covers one or multiple machines?

This lifetime license of VIPRE on HSN is good for one PC.
