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.

Sunbelt rolls out virtualized antimalware and antivirus defense


Sunbelt Software announced today the release of MX-V, a virtualization-based anti-malware defense app. MX-V protects systems by performing behavioral analysis of potential malware in a virtualized environment that mimics core Windows functions.

As a result, Vipre doesn't have to rely on constant definition updates - a good thing considering the preponderance of self-mutating malware. Despite the added layer of protection, the MX-V system is still very easy on system resources (it idles at about 12mb of memory on my test machine).

Vipre also includes a secure file eraser, history cleaner, and PC Explorer - which provides a quick way to look at your hosts file, LSPs, shell hooks, browers handlers, and more.

Current users of Vipre don't have to do anything to get MX-V running, it's included in the latest definition update. If you'd like to give it a try yourself, Sunbelt offers a free 15-day trial on their website.

The World's Hardest Game 2.0 - Time Waster

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do. Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game. The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
