@tends2dogs.....I am NOT computer savvy either, lol. My nephew installed my current VIPRE but after watching the presentation (and recording it on a blank DVD disk for future reference), I am going to install myself. I think I can do it, lol.
YES....Aaron, the vendor, stated that once you plug in your VIPRE (the black one you ordered) on your PC, it would erase not only the previous VIPRE (which I have), but also any other anti virus protection on your PC (that you have). He stated that you can NOT have two types of anti virus programs on your computer, because they look at each other like another virus, so he said this is automatically done first, then the VIPRE antivirus is installed. Then you pull the plug (your black one) out and use on other PCs or give to someone who can use it up to 8 times total.
Aaron stated that the VIPRE system I have now was supposed to cover all types of malware, viruses, etc., but that in the past 2-3 months (it made headlines), where there are some out there that were not even thought of and this is mainly the reason why now they have the "ADVANCED VIPRE"....they are identifying not only virus out there now, but are looking into the "Future" and protect things that we are not even aware of...thus, calling it "ADVANCED". They say government and 500 Fortune businesses use this VIPRE.
Aaron also said this is a lifetime protection, just like the older version (which I presently have) and that you only have to install one time on your specific computer. Aaron said that he felt that VIPRE company felt a little bad that there are newer viruses out there now (not their fault) and that when this older version was sold (starting about 7 years old until now)....that they felt bad saying it's a life time protection (which you know that no one can predict)....so, that's why they are giving us this one day great deal and throwing in the $200 (white) wifi vipre (for using outside your home) for free.
We, of course, know that viruses and malware happen all the time and, accoring to Aaron, VIPRE is not only taking care of what is out there, but also looking into the future and protecting us from what might be around the corner. VIPRE company is USA made and is located in the USA.
The (black) one you ordered....just plug in your computer (PC) at home.....it first, erases previous virus protection and then immediately installs the VIPRE virus protection. Then you take the plug out and pass it on. It will give you updates automatically on your computer (pops in and notifies you) that they are updating and checking. I like that feature.
The (white) one (wifi VIPRE) we all get to accompany our color is for outside the home on your phones, tablets that have android. You will plug it in but also go to a website they have listed with instructions in the package it comes in to install the app on your android device. Once done, unplug it from your device....according to Aaron and pass it on to others.
I hope this helps. I love learning and really enjoyed watching the presentations. If you have any questions, they will provide all instructions along with each of the two devices and also a toll free number and email address for you to contact them. I hope you like it. I've never used the (white wifi one)....but it will be great on my tablet and protected.
Let us know how you like it.
